@peculiarityshop.bsky.social @hillarymonahan.bsky.social if you ever find a ring with a star shaped stone -- turquoise, chrysocolla, shattuckite -- in a size 9 or larger, I've been looking for a while now with no luck...

a sterling silver ring with a large star-shaped stone. the stone is streaked with dark blue and turquoise colors. it's a stone called shattuckite.

the background of the picture is streaky white and dark brown wood.

@grief-enduring.bsky.social @ajijaakwe.bsky.social @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social thinking of you as i polish up these little bird fetishes and hoping their spirits bring you a bit of comfort 💙

several sterling silver birds in various shapes, sizes and levels of tarnish rest on top of my disgustingly dirty beading board -- it's the only one I have that has a cover...

it's critical to ensure neutering and spaying in your neighborhood! #gopoutofnorthamerica

an old-ish masculine presenting person looks into the camera and wags his finger. text reads "help control the asshole population - have your trump supporter spayed or neutered."

aren't all Voids the most attractive Voids ever?

from @catrambo.bsky.social who knows that trans rights are human rights 💙🏳️‍⚧️💙

What does it cost to be kind?

“Transgender isn’t a real thing. It’s just people wanting to feel special or something.”

I’m not saying that you are right. I firmly believe you are wrong. Today, I want to ask you, “So what?”

How does it hurt you to respect them, anyway? What is the harm? Why are you offended by their desire to be called by a specific name; by pronouns other than those you want to use? How does this offend you?

People playing sports want to feel special. People playing music want to feel special. People, generally, like to feel special at least some of the time. There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel respect and appreciation. Why would we admire someone who buys a flashy car or jewelry but not someone who wants to just be themselves?

What cost is there in being kind? What pain do you suffer for respecting who other people tell you they are? What do you feel has been taken away from you?

“The world isn’t fair, It’s mean and people don’t get what they want.”

But we’ve worked hard to make it more fair, more kind, and to help people. Human history has been about not accepting the world as good enough. We gave that up when we started farming instead of foraging and building our own shelters instead of living in caves. We may never overcome all the unfairness of the world, but we don’t have to perpetuate it, either.

Does anyone know what kind of birb this is? I'm in northern Indiana. Not the greatest picture cos the sun was mostly down. #birdsky #birds #birbs

A plump bird with a dark beak. Sort of golden brown on the back with a lighter greyish-brown chest. Sitting on the edge of a red feeder filled with fillet and sunflower seeds.

aww what sweethearts! this is this morning's troublemaker...

a large long haired black and white cat looks somewhat suspiciously at the camera. he's in a sunbeam and his whiskers are glistening in the light.

Post your warning sign.

a hand reaches towards a hissing cat. there's a large red X in the upper right corner. meme text says "please do not the cat."

I think the ground hog knows I'm taking a picture.

a ground hog stands on top of a stump. it's staring into the camera as if trying to claim I needed a model release.

timeline cleanse...i am one of the luckiest people because my backyard fills with violets every spring 💙 we leave the backyard native for the flora and fauna.

the entire image is filled with blooming violets. there are a couple of bright yellow dandelions for contrast.

timeline cleanse i believe this lovely bird is a Northern Flicker. I've caught them out of the corner of my eye b4 but never had the chance to get a picture.
