Beading is also labor intensive for me, my arthritis, and my eyesight. This is an artform I have failed and learned at over several years. There are plenty beaders with less experience who charge more than me, and that’s ok too.
WE know our worth, period.
I drive hours to obtain beads. When I don’t, they are not cheap, and neither are restock supplies like good needles, 24k beads, bobbins, natural deer hide, and hypoallergenic metal +
today someone was rude to me about my pricing and I’m fed up. I charge fairly for the work I create - amounting to a minimum hourly wage for the time I spend beading + supply cost +

We are at the point in this country where you just hope you don’t come in contact with someone who is having a bad day because folks don’t deal with their bad days internally anymore. They are ready to kill you over shit that ain’t got nothing to do with you at a moment’s notice

Florida is officially a fascist state.
Do not come here.
Do not bring your children here.
Do not mock us or participate in mockery with others.
What happens here is what the GOP wants for the entire nation.
Now is the time to decide what you would have done if you were here.
PLEASE remember that people do things like *data mining* all the time - and that people CAN AND WIL use your private information for themselves. I've had my identity stolen before myself. Do not share any information that people can use to do those bad things.
I don’t understand how asking who your Indigenous family is can be bad. I’m too Inuk. We just ask that right away just so we know who we are. It’s so fun lighting up figuring out if and how our families are connected. It’s an act of love.
No Native girl, boy, woman, or man should live in fear.
On this Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day, we strengthen our resolve to bring this crisis to an end.
still concerned how Camille Vasquez publicly asked Amber Heard why she didn't take pictures of her bleedxing vxgina after she got rxped and the whole world was like "best lawyer in the world💗" !!!!
To their point, I think a reality show about rich cis gay men is the LAST thing our community needs. It’s literally everyone but them on the chopping block right now
Keeler made the term defendian about NDNs who raised some issues w/her list and the methodology/approach - it's lateral violence ... lol Just a sidebar here.
I've been learning new terms. Defendian. Descendian. These are all very impactful terms that arose from a place of being harmed, and tis a way for indigenous people to name these harms, and yes - harms coming from other people with nefarious/exploitative intent.
people love to throw around “bourgeoisie” 😭
many people who use instacart to order groceries are disabled, immunocompromised, lack adequate transportation, or are too busy with THEIR low-paid service jobs to shop for themselves
Male Instacart shopper discourse is popular because it’s the only socially acceptable way for the bourgeoisie to shit on low-paid service workers twitter.com/homunculusdick…
