Remember, your vote CAN help protect trans rights at the grassroots level. Make sure you know precisely what laws will be on your ballots! Don't succumb to despair! 🏳️‍⚧️ #LGBTQ #beads

LOOK AT THESE BEADS!!! LOOK AT 'EM!!! This was my first time ordering from Shipwreck Beads and I'm delighted with how much I received for my money! They're the exact size I was hoping for, too! I was worried I may have chosen the incorrect measurement, but 11/0 is just what I needed!! #beads

Real beetle wings, real glass.

I now have a new favorite earring shape for Pride flag designs. We exist outside of June, and we will continue to exist outside of this Presidential administration, and we will continue to exist until the world withers into motes of stardust. I'll make more of these as soon as I can! 🏳️‍🌈 #LGBTQ

🏳️‍🌈❗️IMPORTANT: Never be shy about emailing a Pride organization about problematic things they allow at an event, ESPECIALLY if that organization is small. Your voice does matter, and you can do your part to ensure future events are safer and more welcoming for attendees. #LGBTQ

I'd never heard the term until now! I just learned in five minutes that there's a historical basis for jury nullification and that it's an effective way to stand on the right side of history. Read about it directly from Cornell Law School: www.law.cornell.edu/wex/jury_nul...

Here's your bi representation today in bead form! I know it's not perfect and needs more purple, but it's the best I can do at the moment. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ

ANOTHER shady little freak is impersonating me, this time on Facebook. Since April 24th, they've been stealing and re-uploading ALL of my TikToks and pretending they're the original creator. If you are on Facebook, please report them for this crap. Thank you. Username is The.real.zyered4

Joe Rogan looking like he's gonna kidnap a talking pig and force it to read ads for his cereal corporation.

@crimethinc.com posted this recently. I very much recommend you read it carefully if you want to understand how to act with collective intention, ambition and care during...shall we say, heightened events. Feels like "The Art of War" written by heroes. #DelaneyHall crimethinc.com/2026/06/10/t...

You are not insane, dramatic, foolish, miseducated, or naïve to care about what's happening. Delaney Hall, Lebanon, Gaza, trans erasure --- it's all abhorrent. The only idiots are the ones who either revel in it or trivialize it. The world needs you. Please don't succumb to despair.

Some commission options I made for a customer, and color for your eyeballs! 🏳️‍🌈 #handmade #beads #PrideMonth

❗️Hey, fellow Washingtonians. Please spread this far and wide so everyone knows by November. IL26-001 and IL26-638 are anti-trans and pose danger to kids of all kinds. You think voting is pointless? WRONG. Vote no on both of these in November. #LGBTQ www.permanentdefense.org/2026-campaig...

This post nails every point and includes numerous sources for further understanding. #LGBTQ #PrideMonth #transrightsarehumanrights nwlc.org/once-and-for...

Here's an update on my friend Maelah, who will continue receiving donations from my shop until further notice. Also, don't worry about her dog!! He's fine, I promise. It's just a picture of his first experience in the kennel they were able to buy because of your help! ko-fi.com/post/Update-...

Made and posted TWO new suncatchers today! I'm obsessed. ✨ You can find them right here: ko-fi.com/zyered/shop

Found more glass pendants from two different antique stores!! MORE SUNCATCHERS AHHHHHHHH ☀️

Happy Pride Month. Continue existing. We need you. #LGBTQ #transrightsarehumanrights

SUNCATCHERS!! ☀️ Grab some (or see more lovely photos) on Ko-Fi.com/Zyered!

HUGE drop incoming at 5 PM PST on Sunday, May 31st! New jewelry for Pride Month, an important milestone, and a BRAND-NEW shop category! I also recently updated my shop's header. Even if you'd prefer not to purchase anything right now, you might enjoy the new design. 🔥 ko-fi.com/zyered/posts

Between Obsession and Backrooms we're eating GOOD this month with horror movies! I'm talking an absolute feast!! It's refreshing to see two new pieces of horror media that center complex themes and lack cheap, repetitive jumpscares. I just saw Backrooms tonight and geez, what a treat.

Updated another old necklace! Left is before, right is after! Ugh, the old version was so [remembers self-shaming is bad for my mental health] full of qualities that are no longer standard in my shop. #handmade #jewelry

Beads to bless your eyes while you doomscroll. Don't worry, the world is still full of beauty. #beads #handmade

Obsession is a FANTASTIC movie from start to finish, but I gotta warn you: It hits on a very personal level for viewers who have experienced toxic relationships and SA. Please be aware. Fortunately my roommate warned me ahead of time, but it was still extremely jarring and upsetting. ❤️

Re-crafted an older necklace design in my shop's Pride category, because it needed wire guards and a better dangle. Modeled after the Pansexual flag! #LGBTQ #beads #handmadejewelry

Important advice: Be aware of how light affects the appearance of your products! Different colors are emphasized in different environments, so consider what you want the viewer to notice. Show them all the best qualities of your stuff by using multiple different photos! #beads #smallartist

About to lose my temper and fistfight Mr. TikTok for glitching out repeatedly when I keep trying to add captions.

LOOK AT THESE BEADS

Friendly reminder to fact-check the things you learn on social media, especially in the age of A.I.-generated crap.

You can only buy these if you're (A) a vampire or (B) a 60-year-old divorcee named Margo with very large shaded sunglasses and coiffed hair. ko-fi.com/zyered/shop #handmade #earrings

THE SUNLIGHT IS IN I REPEAT: THE SUNLIGHT IS IN ✨🌅 #handmade #beads #smallartist

Some plain mossy agate earrings I made last night. Just look at the detail! It looks like there are plants growing inside it! Here's some interesting information about the stone in this article: aureliusjewelry.com/moss-agate/#...

Sorry for the delay, BlueSky was down yesterday and I was unable to post here. The final winner of the raffle is...JENA! Here is a screenshot of my Tumblr post so y'all can easily read about the conclusion of the raffle! We accumulated $190 in a week for Maelah. 💚

Suddenly we've increased to 12 slips in the jar, thanks to an excellent and generous donator! 💚 Remember, every ten bucks gets one slip, so the more you donate the better your chance at winning that necklace!

We've accumulated $70 for Maelah and have seven slips in the jar! The raffle will end at 5 PM PST tomorrow (Friday), so make sure you get your name in now! Friendly reminder that instructions are right here: ko-fi.com/post/EVENT-A...

Just dropped some new necklaces. We've reached #175, a new milestone! #handmade #beads #Ko-Fi ko-fi.com/zyered/shop

It's only been a day and we've already accumulated $60 for Maelah!! This is awesome and it's going really well! Six days left!

Hey!! I'm holding a raffle to support my friend, Maelah! Do you want to win a cool space-themed necklace that I threaded myself? It's got stars on it! The instructions and explanation are right here in this link. The raffle is only active until Friday, April 24th! ko-fi.com/post/EVENT-A...

A really nice haul today from two separate vintage thrift stores, totaling me less than $40. All real stone chips and lovely polished glass. Never underestimate what you can make with pre-loved jewelry. I look forward to working with these lovely materials! #beads #handmade

The beads have now migrated into my clothing. I have never embroidered before in my life, and now that I've started I fear I may not stop. (I got the patch on Etsy a long time ago, but I cannot remember who the exact seller was, sorry.)

Finally, fresh jewelry photos.

I posted my first things on #MayhemMarketplace! A brand-new line of jewelry, separate from the ones I post on Ko-Fi! 💜🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙 #smallartist zyesbeads.mayhem.my

(1/2) EXPANSION! IMPROVEMENT! MORE BEADS! I've been approved to sell on another website! Introducing #MayhemMarketplace, the anti-capitalist and anti-A.I. artist's platform that's still in development! In addition to Ko-Fi, I'll be expanding my reach on Mayhem! zyesbeads.mayhem.my

A buddy shared this with me and I'm sharing it here too. "But the kind of sustained collective action that moves the dial and truly contests authority needs to go beyond intermittent street protests. It requires confrontation." #NoKings #AbolishICE www.ms.now/opinion/no-k...

Yes, mass protests matter. Yes, they have value. It's all about how you use the opportunity. Share valuable information. Connect with folks. Discover the safe people in your small town. Take comfort in solidarity. Keep the energy flowing. And after the day ends, CONTINUE the fight. #NoKings

I crafted several necklaces to raise money for my friend Maelah, who recently lost their housing. I'd love to see if I can get them ALL sold by Saturday; 100% of the profits will be donated to Maelah's CashApp to help pay for their hotel room. Please have a gander! ko-fi.com/zyered/shop/...

I experimented with my first threaded necklace. I have only the vaguest idea of what I'm doing but I intend to improve. I arranged the base pattern on steel string wire first, then wove through it with thread and seed beads BEFORE crimping off the ends. Advice is appreciated! #beads #handmade
