It's #ThrowbackThursday at The NDN Silver Blog, with a #TBT featured work that dates back somewhere between fifteen and seventeen years, one in Wings's informal series of layered-bezel works: wingssilverwork.com/throwbackthu....

YUP. I'm really tired of getting 4 recycled begging e-mails a day from a certain gubernatorial candidate* while I've been literally killing myself for the last two weeks to get grocery cards in the hands of folks who can't buy food, put gas in their cars, or have secure housing. * Yes. Her.

It would be cool if the Dem's asked their donors to open their pockets and help them feed people instead of just whinging about it on social media. Ordinary people are doing more than the party that supposedly cares about its constituents. Get creative. People are hungry.

If only the texted me ways to donate teh wya the texted to beg

About an hour after Ellis entered this injunction, a group of agents, including Bovino, drove away from a Southwest Side gas station where they were confronted by protestors, and fired a round of pepper balls at a sedan that pulled up alongside their vehicle, reports @chicagotribune.com

it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.

Imagine if even 1/4 of the money spent on Democratic campaign consultants and advertising was just given directly to local news upstarts around the country…………

If anybody gave me the strategy jobs/ directorships ? And a budget I’d be SPEED running policy and visionary statements state by state , and area by area of how we’re gonna fix this nonsense

Someone in need of rent that's in arrears and eviction is imminent. Can anyone help? This is urgent. Aji is so close to keeping the woman housed, but her resources are going to food right now. Checks made out to the apartment complex, so you know it's going where it should go.

Food help still desperately needed on the Taos Pueblo and through the county. The need is huge; people willing to help are few. Often, those who have the least will give the most. Are you able to feed a family, an elder, the disabled, for even a short while?

The necklace you see me wear is an energetic work of art produced by Wings and if such a thing means anything to you @ajijaakwe.bsky.social can hook you up.

this would elicit more sympathy if this wasnt the same batch of villains starving americans and cutting their health care while shooting them in the face.

Wooooooow

And it's a final short thread @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social with tonight's local urgent needs, the grocery-card project, which grows by the day, and a local mom fighting eviction, with only $236 still needed to keep them safe:

And it's another short thread @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social with tonight's inventory selection, a pendant built around a Skystone of similar shape and pattern, and of the same incredible material:

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's Wings's newest masterwork, an extraordinary necklace built around a truly phenomenal Skystone, suspended from beads of similarly striking quality: wingssilverwork.com/the-dawn-lig....

How many witches do we need to melt that all into slag, I am willing to train

Also had a neighbor ring the bell today and ask where she could get 50 whistles for her church group and I was like, look no further.

What’s more Chicago right now than handing off 200 whistles in a Portillos bag.

I feel SICK.

Can't we just get some skilled witches to hex all this shit so it implodes completely? So there's nothing to save? So all these AI techbro freaks go instantly and completely bankrupt?

Donate if you can 🙏🏼

And the Abstract

Here's the graph

JFC Killing our children

Okay, folks, thanks to PMM and RM, we've hit the $2,600 mark overall . . . BUT $2K of that has already gone on grocery cards. By the end of the day? I'll have one, maybe two left. We have that last $600 still to clear. I can get 3 $200 cards with that, going to families with children.

ANYTHING towards grocery store gift cards keeps people fed. Simple as that. (Use 'friends/family' function & put "SNAP replacement" in the notes.) Pls RS/QS. Pls do what you can. #HelpFolksLive2025
