#fandommarket @ourfamilyourfight.bsky.social First custom item (crocheted hat) done for winning bidder Yvette.

@ourfamilyourfight.bsky.social got my #fandommarket cross-stitch.

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility and it is the best day to show vocal and financial support to trans people everywhere.

I saw Tango and Cash as part of a double feature at the one dollar second run movie theatre because my mom was a huge Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone fan. 1/?

The PA Supreme Court has decided, in large part based on a law student note authored in 2023, that our state constitution's protection against cruel punishments is based on a more robust understanding of cruelty than the US Constitution. That note from Kevin Bendesky (HLS '23) is here:

For those who want to test their perception of colour, I made a little game called "What's My JND" www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

This is one of Jason Isbell's first performances of "Dress Blues," if not his first -- when he was still with DBT, a year before his solo debut. It's one of the most haunting things I've ever heard. I ripped it from that video to a mix CD & listened to it *thousands* of times. Shivers every time.

@btrwkart.bsky.social I'm gonna need you to make this.

I have watched this quilt sitting at $199 forEVER. Surely someone will take it over $200? Clock is ticking. www.32auctions.com/organization...

These cards are STILL MINE.

Show somebody who absolutely rocks a hat and isn't Indiana Jones.

An EXTREMELY helpful thing folks can do, if they live near a federal courthouse, is volunteer for Habeas Dockets. Docs in habeas cases aren't viewable online by default. But they are at courthouses. This site makes them available/searchable for free. Helps lawyers a lot habeasdockets.org/volunteer/

"if I'm bleeding out in an Alabama hospital due to an ectopic pregnancy, will I have to consider that your vote is one of the reasons they won't save my life?" is a very low bar!

I've let a few days go by on my challenge to you to find out how much I really love these cards. You haven't gotten me to my max bid yet. One of them has a little ghost! I have a snap wallet with a little ghost on it, so you know I really like little ghosts. www.32auctions.com/organization...

Okay, people, someone of y'all tried to take this hat away from me. I still have more room on my proxy bid and it starts with a different number than the current bid of $45. Wanna see if you can max me out? www.32auctions.com/organization...

Teal. Puff. Stitches. I'm a crocheter, but I couldn't make myself make a whole scarf out of nothing but Puff. Stitches. That's an unholy amount of time. $40 is a STEAL. Bid it up, people! www.32auctions.com/organization...

@calliegraceleeson.bsky.social You need to buy a bookstore.

An entire scarf of PUFF STITCHES?!? Do you non-yarn people even know how annoying PUF STITCHES are? The starting bid on this is a STEAL! www.32auctions.com/organization...

How is this not bid on yet? Someone needs to bid this up sonkm not tempted to challenge you to make ME buy TWO FUCK ICE hats. It's in the 70s here today, people. www.32auctions.com/organization...

me: I will give you a snack but you must promise to stop acting out like this Cat: there's the bowl bitch, do your job and stop speaking

I've told you I really love these. But you don't yet know how much I'm willing to pay for them. Make me prove it. www.32auctions.com/organization...

There's been some bidding, but you don't have me up to $40 yet. Surely I should be paying AT LEAST $45 for this. I mean, Bucks County is far too purple. Make me pay for the privilege of pissing off certain neighbors. www.32auctions.com/organization...

Y'all still aren't making me work hard enough for this. I should be paying more for the pleasure of wearing this on my head in Brian Fucking Fitzpatrick's Congressional district. www.32auctions.com/organization...

A snail on raspberries! A mouse in a mushroom house! A tiny ghost enjoying the sunset! I dared you to test how much I want these by bidding against me. @littlefingies.bsky.social took that challenge. They're still (hypothetically) mine. Mwahahahaha! www.32auctions.com/organization...

My fam knows that my fave part of art/craft fairs is cards b/c I get to enjoy something lovely for a while and then SHARE it by giving it to someone I love. I like these enough that you folks could DEFINITELY force me to increase my bid. www.32auctions.com/organization...

You know what amazes me? That I am the only person who has made a bid on this. I mean, I will be thrilled to win it, but y'all should make me EARN it. www.32auctions.com/organization...

Sixteen items with no bids. Surely you want a release one of these? www.32auctions.com/organization...

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

Why are these not going like gangbusters? www.32auctions.com/organization... 1/2

Sewn items I am offering and where I got the supplies -- first up from the four three pocket snap wallets, all made from leftover fabric remnants, butterflies and tiny birbs. 1/2 www.32auctions.com/organization...

Someone is my nemesis and outbid me! I have bid again! Take that, Nemesis! (Frankly, @pandorable.bsky.social has so many lovely items up for auction, you people are just sleeping on all the gorgeousness!)

Also, I have just bid on this and dare you to outbid me! www.32auctions.com/organization...

I think this is really lovely and WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE NOT BIDDING ON IT?!? www.32auctions.com/organization...

In early 2003, I horrified my mother by sharing these photos of her first grandchild (then aged 5 months) enjoying her first snow.

Go bid! Go buy! Get yourself, your friends, your family, something pretty!

ELEVEN HOURS TO GO GET THOSE BIDDING FINGIES READY

One of my items -- a custom set of quilted sneakers (photos are just an example). Give me an excuse to make another set of these in your quilting cotton of choice!

Go check out all the things! Plan to support the AIC!

And now, last time done -- drawstring bag for the cats and birds.

Next to last item is done; as always, the very visible errors are what makes them charming. (That's what I tell myself, anyway.) 1/?

(quick update on # s: after some quick combining by very accomodating crafters, we're at 833 listings at the moment... and over 3400 individual physical items 😱) (preview opens March 3.) (tell everybody you know to sign up to get notified when the auction opens March 5: forms.gle/Doh9imGkVuQ3...)

like this isn't 2012, there are no national queer rights orgs who are flush with cash. Everyone I speak with is dramatically cutting their budgets. And red state queer orgs are always fighting uphill on a shoestring budget. My challenge to you today is to google a red state queer org and donate.

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets. Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

Gonna make a memory/concentration game for smol youngins.

We have SO many beautiful items—and we want to make sure ALL of them find amazing homes and that @immcouncil.org gets a fantastic boost from our pirate horde! So start thinking—where are you going to hype? Does your mom need mittens? Does your coworker need a new mug? Does your neighbor love fish?!

Again, I know it feels good to send a donation to someone who is finally going to send Mitch McConnell or Lindsey Graham packing, but you're going to see a *lot* more bang for your buck with less exciting but much more meaningful state legislative races. This is a great way to do that:

"Loneliness *is* a problem. I am inviting you to contemplate how frequently it is treated as a problem for men and only for men, to be solved by everyone else, by doing work on their behalf that can only ever be considered repair if they do it themselves." www.the-reframe.com/fix-your-hea...

anyways thinking about how elves in lotr aren't good at stuff just through magical luck and talent, but through centuries of practice, which means baby legolas spent like a hundred years mastering the art of sliding down staircases riding on top of random shit, and thranduil HATED EVERY MOMENT OF IT
