Happy Fourth of July! Remember, the REAL fireworks are the tears of your enemies as you destroy their proxy bids and dash their hopes, in the name of democracy. auction.romancingthevote.com

Meet Momo! ⋆˚✿˖° Embroidering a puppy was such a joy.

Boosting these auctions as part of a reminder that @romancingthevote.com auction/fundraiser continues over the weekend. You, too, can support voting rights and get great swag etc as part of the deal.

Bree just dropped this cute lil bag and didn't tell anyone because she was too busy fixing her drywall. This bag will fit knitting supplies or, you know, a drywall saw and rasp. Whatever you choose.

The Skull Quilt is amazing and there will be, at the end of the auction, only one winner. Who will it be? We'll find out.

Last night I pulled 3 frozen balls of dough out of the freezer and tossed them in the fridge. This morning I put them on a sheet pan and ignored them for 4 hours. I now have 3 gorgeous ciabatta-esque sandwich rolls. You too can learn the mysterys of Lazy Bread! www.32auctions.com/organization...

While we're out here, did you know that the extraordinary Yoon Ha Lee will draw tarot character art for you. Get it while the getting's good! www.32auctions.com/organization...

Also up: these gorgeous little green quiltlets! So many things you can do with these! The listing mentions cat mats, but you can use them for a lot of things, like wall hangings to hang over the hole you just made in the bathroom drywall. www.32auctions.com/organization...

As we’re about halfway through this year’s @romancingthevote.com fundraiser for voting rights, here are some super cool pieces up for auction! I’m so impressed by the skill of these artists and crafters! First up, a Norwegian resistance cap set: www.32auctions.com/organization...

The spirit of Romancing the Vote is telling everyone about all the auctions you're winning and are afraid to be outbid on, but doing it anyway because DEMOCRACY

Yay, got the notification my first of three art pieces from this year’s @orlandoparkstop.com Stop Hate fundraiser has shipped! Can’t wait for my Maui print by @bot10art.bsky.social to arrive! :) 🌈🫶

Reminder for those with young animals that these next few days are good days to feed treats during loud noise time to help them learn not to be scared.

If you have someone with combat/war zone experience in your life we will also appreciate being fed treats to help us not be scared.

Anyways, if you want to get some book recommendations that aren't part of the algorithm, you can bid on them here: www.32auctions.com/organization... And here: www.32auctions.com/organization... And here: www.32auctions.com/organization...

That's why I'm so excited about our @romancingthevote.com offer: we'll build you a curated reading list based on your preferences. We did this back in 2024, and it was so much fun emailing with our winners to get a sense of what they loved and trying to find them the perfect books.

“They can just come into the country, have a baby at a hospital paid for by you and me, and then that baby is automatically a citizen? That baby can sit on a jury when he turns 18 and sit in judgment of you...?" I would like to live in a country where kindness is practiced & the above happens.
