Back in February I started funding a well at Young Strong Mothers Foundation in Tanzania. Yesterday they cut the ribbon. I love my work but mostly I love the people I get to meet and the support that my gems allow me to offer. www.facebook.com/share/p/17DX...

It's Pride Month. With what's happening in the US, we all need to fight as rights are being eroded. Be proud for yourself, your loved ones, and all the LGBTQI kids who can't fight for themselves.

In the days before I was a gem cutter, I was a hand weaver. Lately I've been working at the loom again, just for fun. Skull dishtowel!

So yeah, I bought some rocks. It will take a while to get them shipped home and cleared at both ends but so worth the trip and the wait

I called and spoke to a lovely person about how I've been a member since they bought Price Club over 30 years ago, and how proud I am that they're standing by their DEI programs.

Hey @Target and @wholefoods365.bsky.social the money I used to spend with you is now going to them.

I am not really able to get off Meta (yet) but here's some tips. Use FB Purity and AdBlocker to block ads and sponsored posts in your browser. Don't use Insta or Fb apps on your phone. Move off whatsapp and Fb messenger onto Signal.

If you can't leave, give them as little money as possible.

I'm working, hard, to overcome my disgust and hold compassion for these folx but that compassion insofar as I'm able to cultivate it will not extend to tangible support. THAT will go to the people they harmed with their votes.

I am fortunate to have a comfortable amount of money and I give away a lot each year. I will not give a dime to anyone who voted for the orange guy. Can't afford groceries? Thoughts and prayers. Lose your healthcare? Thoughts and prayers. Lose your housing? Thoughts and prayers.

It was a Nazi salute. Don't let anyone tell you it wasn't.

Way to go @ADL That's a strange way to say "we're cool with Nazis now"

He's a convicted felon, and found to have committed sexual assault. He's a serial adulterer, a serial bankrupt, a serial fraudster. If you're a client and I see you support him, I'm donating the profits from your purchases to groups trying to keep the US from sliding further into the shitter.

Tom absolutely HATED wearing suits despite how great he looked in them. I finally found the courage to donate his gorgeous custom made suits to a place in NY that helps young men prepare to enter the workplace. Even if he were alive he'd be glad to have them gone.
