Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a Monday Photo Meditation for extreme conditions and unseasonal weather, and for the light that persists in spite of them: wingssilverwork.com/monday-photo....

::Sigh:: As Chantal was JUST saying . . . .

And it's a final short thread @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social with tonight's local urgent needs. Just one, a local mama in desperate need of supplemental funds for food for her 3 kids:

OH MY GOD

Just a couple more pendants to go, and until Monday night to meet my goal. Thank you so much to everyone who's been sharing. <3 oishiny.etsy.com

Nearly halfway to my goal! I need to sell around 11 pendants by Monday night to cover May rent and bills. There's plenty to go around - I just listed some more gemstone spirals: oishiny.etsy.com Each pendant comes in a gift box with free international shipping. #Handmade #Helpsky #💕💸

Small shift in plans. I am going to be shipping out dragon's den for most of the week with @falconesse.bsky.social As such, tonight I will be running queervc because I do not know when I can fit it in the rest of the week. That means shipping confirmations will go out tomorrow. Kay?

He wants to be liked but his number one goal is dominance . And he’d explode everything if he think he can force dominance

YUP Any NDA that can be used to prevent a rape victim from reporting her harm publicly should automatically be void as against public policy. This shouldn't even be a question. But this is where we are.

We really do need to ban the use of NDAs in legal settlements -- it only benefits people with the power and incentive to enforce silence and thus endangers others in the long term. At minimum, the enforceability of these things as conditions for settlement needs to be materially reduced.

THIS is why I keep insisting on quoting the elder, the warrior, who taught me that Americans say "power" when they really mean "authority [and control]." WE ALL HAVE POWER. They want authority over us, and control of us. That's not power, that's violence.

He made a statement about the press before Nlack voting rights and made no statements when the attacks were directed at Black, Latino and Indigenous reporters

ISTG, these jackasses think they should be able to publish anything, sans expertise, not do a lick of their own work on it, still be deferred to as experts, and get to blame everyone else for their own failures to the THE most basic part of the work. Yes, Jim, we DO expect that. THAT'S THE JOB.

I think about how I pointed out forever ago how settlers love "vision quest" and white pop star "kabbalah priestesses" but yet never have an ego death.

There are a bunch of guys getting paid between $200 to $400 thousand per year by much wealthier people to falsely claim that the wealthy are fleeing Oregon.

They are Reaganites trying to institute a Reaganite tax revolution in 2026 while a fascist controls the White House. The rich are quite literally trying to secede from society and have their little affluent compounds while everyone else suffers.

Well, it happened. A client disregarded my advice about using generative AI and guess what? It gave them bad advice AND the judge ruled that by using it, Client waived confidentiality and ordered us to turn a bunch of private stuff over. STOP USING GENERATIVE AI FOR LEGAL THINGS. I BEG YOU.

As a guy with half a trillion dollars, I have lots of options: 1. Enjoy a 100% stress-free life doing whatever I please in unfathomable luxury all over the world with people of my choosing 2. Have 87 meltdowns a day on a website

Smarmiest part of this is “when the rocketship comes you don’t ask which seat, you just get on” that’s right college graduates, the message from the University of Arizona is to stop asking questions about things

It's especially wild since the guy most obsessed with making rocketships right now is a death trap-building conman who wants to ship peons off on a one-way trip to an arid, lifeless planet. You should DEFINITELY ask questions about the rocketship, well beyond the issues of seating

And it's a final very short mini-thread @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social, for us. We need sales first and foremost. Donations should go to folks in the local needs thread, not us. But we could use a little help with our Amazon wishlist:

And it's a third, longer thread @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social with tonight's local urgent needs. Local folks here are in trouble; you can help several of them here:

And it's another short thread @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social with tonight's inventory selection, a boulder opal cuff whose stone refracts similar green and rose shades as the Welo opals in the featured set:

“I don't understand what it's supposed to do. Every time I see a video on Instagram that's like, 'Hollywood is cooked,' what follows is, like, the most stupid dog shit I've ever seen in my life…”

I've said it before but it bears repeating: human trafficking usually looks like this, having your housing, food security and income relying on a single person, being controlled and exploited by them. It often looks like normal employment or normal romantic relationships to the untrained eye.
