I'm also crowdfunding over on Throne for some kitchen storage because mouse issues as well as a better heater for this place because the furnace is shit and so is the landlord. Throne.com/punklenix

Hoping to do a store run today. Need to stock up on candles, matches, lamp oil & other emergency essentials for the coming winter just in case things go sideways. Also need to get a few more bags of potatoes & some meats. If you'd like to help, I have baubles for sale! ko-fi.com/mcetching

Bump for the evening crowd 💜

"Be grateful that you slipped through the hands of people who had no fucking idea how to hold you." 20yrs in a marriage where I was afraid to speak for myself, where I slipped away while he feigned surprise. Now, 3 years with a man who can read the tone of my texts and holds me when I need him. ❤️‍🔥

Nine left. Custom crafted etched glass pendants! Shopping with small businesses and indie crafters will help you find that perfect gift as well as stick it to the corpos who do everything they can to ruin our lives. Also, it helps a guy like me get a turkey sub for lunch ❤️ ko-fi.com/s/d80513b16a

Today is my 11 year anniversary of streaming on Twitch. 10 days ago was my 8 year anniversary of making Twitch partner. Wild how I’m still doing the thing. Insomnia hours are a go, so I might go live kind of early with chatting, co-working & gaming. As far as a celebration, IDK 🤷🏾‍♀️

🚀 Big milestone alert! 🚀 Cypheroftyr is celebrating their 11th Streaming Anniversary!!! They create gaming and tabletop RPG content focused on diversity, storytelling, and community. Celebrate with them: buff.ly/N2GDO5N

"AI is a tool." No. Empirically not. A tool empowers people; helps people. It solves an extant problem. Generative AI in creative mediums is being used as a cudgel that diminishes and eliminates people, and the only "problem" being solved is fiscal. Stop validating it, even in passing.

13 years ago, custom set of Johnny Cash pint glasses. Hand cut vinyl resist and etched in a sandblaster with an aluminum oxide medium.

Come join with others to stand against Trump's political prosecutions, against ICE's attacks on our communities, and for freedom of speech and the right to protest. See you tomorrow.

using rng to pick the winner of this tomorrow, still time to get in the drawing

again. "Lazy" is a myth meant to shame you into working yourself to death.

"Sometimes you think that you want to disappear, when all you really need is to be found." Having now been "found" by my Partner, but most importantly *seen* for the last three years, this popped back up in my fb memories. I am so deeply thankful for the life I live now.

Something fun at the end of a migraine-day?

Unexpected bonus of clean laundry piles on the bed: On an atrocious migraine day, they acted as a "weighted blanket" when I crawled under the covers they were on. 😅 Predicted disadvantage: I still had to put them away 🙃

I just made myself cackle... Context: my family does a "white elephant" gift game every year at X-mas. Chances are that I won't be there again this year, but I still send gifts with the kids when they go to visit. One of the "WE" gifts is going to have a large... 🪡

Giving away this little claw I made as a proof of concept for another project. Small, sharp, feels good to hold. To win: b following me, like, comment, rp, and tag someone you think would also like to win. Winner pays s&h, void where prohibited, no metal animals were harmed in the making of this art

If Vulcans are real... if aliens are real... they're looking at our planet and saying... "Nope. We don't fuck with that... Avoid at all costs."

so hey, I know I am always advocating shop indie and small business. But we REALLY need to stay the fuck away from Walmart. They're selling literal Nazi merch online. This is the reality we are living in. Jesus fuck. I will be calling 1-800-WALMART (1-800-925-6278) multiple times a day every day.

Back out to the shop before getting my house chores done. Finishing up these pendants today and starting the next small run soon! Support indie artists & makers this holiday season and stick it to those corpo bastards. ko-fi.com/s/d80513b16a

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY, TAKE THIS! As we enter our teens, we wanted to mark the occasion by thanking all of you for your support over the years. We hope to continue serving the gaming community for many years to come. Join the celebration and help keep our mission going at takethis.org

If anyone has some spare coin, I know we're all pressed. Kathryn & Xero could use it.

Managed to avoid the disconnect, but gave them every penny I had to do it, and paycheck hasn't hit the bank yet. 🙃 Could use $10 for fuel to get through the day

Early morning shop work. Got a few more of these pendants finished up. Still have four more to drill & grind. remember, if you are looking to avoid supporting corporations this holiday season then shop indie & shop early! Support artisans & crafters, locally if you can. ko-fi.com/mcetching/shop

You're singing this now. You're welcome.

"There's still good in the world, Mr Frodo, and it's worth fighting for." The kindness of people. The love of my Partner, and my kids. The warmth of the community around me. I am lucky for the bright spots I have and so incredibly thankful. ❤️❤️

Last dice box update for Staff and Branch! Saturday November 8th at 8pm est!

As always, thank you for your time and checking out my little shop! Artists every day are out here chasing their dreams with the help of amazing people like y'all. Whenever you can, shop small and shop local.

Been in the shop all day working through these pendants. I went ahead & put up a listing so people can pre order them, they will be shipped out in order as I get them finished. If you are looking for non corpo holiday gifts for yourself or others come & have a look! ko-fi.com/s/d80513b16a

Tim has been one of my favorite people in this space, both for the art he creates and just how genuinely wonderful he is as a person. I am sad to see this chapter close but so excited to see what's next for him. Don't miss your last chance to add one of his incredible pieces to your collection!

Admit it, you look at the toilet paper holder by your toilet and wish it could be something better. Something like a dragon, holding your toilet tissue, offering it up as if saying, "Your butt napkins, my liege." You know what? I can help.

Welp... things just got a bit more dire this morning. In an effort to balance bills, I've gotten a disconnect notice for our phones, & do not qualify for a payment arrangement. 🙃 I've now set up a goal on my kofi, & my shop is still open with goodies & commission slots. ko-fi.com/thephoenixpa...

Finished another one today. This glass is super thick so I have to etch each piece for a good 2-3 minutes each to get that design deep. Then drilling the eyelet for the jump ring takes another 8 minutes or more. Then it's off to the grinder for about 20 minutes to take the edges down & rounded off.

Between bills, groceries, and life... I don't have the fuel to get to the next payday. Any help is deeply appreciated (but make sure that you're taking care of you first) 💜 ko-fi.com/thephoenixpath

Dear Democratic establishment: Pay. The fuck. Attention. This isn't a fluke. This is the moment, the movement, and the monumental rebuke of business as you would consider usual. Get on board, or get a new job.

Last bump. I'm proud. Okay, you may resume scrolling!

"Nocturne in Crimson" Acrylic on canvas board Xero Reynolds, 2025 My first piece on canvas is done! Pretty pleased with it, and there will definitely be more to come. 🤘

"Vote, human. You live in a democracy. Good. Now give me treats. You are not in a democracy in my glorious presence."
