Taking a quick break from yelling about Romancing the Vote to share my chaos zinnias.

Still time to bid on this one of a kind teapot made by Okinawan Potter Mitsunari Miyagi (grandson of Okinawan Living National Treasure Jiro Kinjyo). The @romancingthevote.com auction ends at 7pm CDT today!!

My two auction items for @romancingthevote.com have already surpassed my wildest dreams, but... My 'ornithology' consult could be wider biology, science, academia...anyone out there writing dark academia? Seems redundant to me, but I can talk about it! www.32auctions.com/organization...

FYI: these are also long enough and designed so that you can make them bracelets, too!

Ten hours left!

Now that I snagged one of these for myself I can share. Look at how pretty these are!!! www.32auctions.com/organization...

The @romancingthevote.com auction ends today! There's still plenty of time for a bidding war in support of voting rights! Rainbow Sparkle Dragon: www.32auctions.com/organization... Gremlet & Stickers: www.32auctions.com/organization... Peacock Garden: www.32auctions.com/organization...

As of right now, 7 of these are still available!

LAST DAY OF THE ROMANCING THE VOTE AUCTION! If you’ve you ever wanted a print copy of HOW TO DATE YOUR DRAGON, the first book in the Mystic Bayou Series, SIGNED and personalized, now is your chance! @romancingthevote.com www.32auctions.com/organization...

We still have a SIX e-book bundle of M/M hockey romances by Ariel Bishop hanging around. www.32auctions.com/organization...

More bookmarks by me are up! This batch are longer, and can also be worn as bracelets!

This is the last day of the @romancingthevote.com auction. Here are some delightful quilty things that deserve more love and bidding. First, this quilt by @octopusgallery.bsky.social is still less than $200. Don't let that attempted theft go unchallenged. www.32auctions.com/organization...

Ben Time!

This adorable unicorn bag (size small) has only one left! www.32auctions.com/organization...

Need a small, soft, colorful bookmark to hold your place in a mass market paperback? Want to help raise money for voting rights? This is literally the perfect opportunity for you! www.32auctions.com/organization...

And my square blankies are up as well! I'm honored that Mr. Bree insisted @mostlybree.kitrocha.com get one, and want everyone to have voting rights AND cozy blankies! These are a little more chaotic and I love them. @romancingthevote.com www.32auctions.com/organization...

Why am I telling you all this? Because I could knit socks for YOU, too. I’ve donated two pairs of custom hand knit socks to @romancingthevote.com and at time of posting they’re going for just over $80/each — a screaming deal for 10-20 hours of knitting plus yarn. Here’s the first pair:

This is a thread of images of hand knit socks. Each pair of the socks pictured is a wool/nylon blend, is machine washable, and was made to exactly fit a specific person’s feet. I’ve been knitting socks for … two decades and change? And it still takes me 10-20 hours per pair of socks.

RIght, @romancingthevote.com . My offering of a custom lace bookmark has been sitting without a new bid for two days, and I know we can do better! So, here is the link to the auction, and here will be a thread about why it's an awesome thing for you to bid on (apart from democracy yay!)

In case you'd like some fantasy novels about the power of friendship and musical theatre right now. Currently 25% off at Smashwords! www.smashwords.com/books/byseri...

This shawl I made is only going for $41 right now which is just slightly more than the yarn cost! That means there's TONS of room left to raise more money for democracy AND STILL get a great deal! www.32auctions.com/organization...

I haven't been able to get the drill going (not a problem with the drill, I'm just playing with the dog) so hoot, hoot, motherfuckers, have some owls www.32auctions.com/organization...

Crouton is living his best life and taking a well-earned nap 😴

y'all want custom color bees? you've got custom color bees. Any color goes (except straight pride color).

Ben Time!

Remember, friends: all my crafting endeavors are supervised by Ben!

SHARE IT! throw money at them! read them! love them! (respectfully)

I have not really been in the right frame of mind to hype my consult. (Stupid heat wave!) Let's see if I can pitch it.. Who can use this consult? www.32auctions.com/organization...

So… I cross-stitched some squirrel 🥜. What? It‘s ART. Over at @romancingthevote.com, you can bid on my framed Squirrel David & a five-pack of signed, personalized books with my chestiest covers. If sculpted torsos aren’t your thing, keep browsing the THOUSAND other items to benefit voting rights!

The only "problem" with ONE THOUSAND items to auction for @romancingthevote.com is it's easy for so many of the beautiful offerings to get missed in the crowd. Like this lovely shawl. It's going to be perfect for morning coffee on the porch in early autumn. www.32auctions.com/organization...

Only two days remain!

A person's gender identity should NOT affect their right to vote. Still, some people face discrimination when the photo and/or gender marker on their ID doesn’t match their appearance. Read how we’re empowering trans & gender-expansive voters at the ballot box: voteriders.org/article/prot...

ITS THAT TIME AGAIN

Remember, friends: all my crafting endeavors are supervised by Ben!
