A black jewelry stand against a black backdrop hold an amethyst and black pearl necklace and earring set.

The bead pattern of the necklace is an alternating pattern of amethyst barrel beads and black cultured pearls set on 18k gold plated straight pins linked together. The necklace is fastened with a gold plated letter S shaped hook that attaches to a short double link chain with a single black pearl hanging off the end. 
The earrings feature pendants made from three rows of alternating black pearls and amethyst barrel beads each, the outer two rows feature two pearls while the central rows feature a single pearl paired with a single amethyst barrel bead. Each earring pendant is linked to a gold plated hoop earring.

A top down view of a marbled tile with a gold and onyx beaded chain necklace in the center of the frame. Aranged around the necklace going clockwise are a brass dish of dried jasmin blossoms, a palm sized pale clay jar with a cork stopper, a small dark wood container with a screw top lid laid to the side, and a purple short stemmed glass laid on its side.

My family car was stolen two weeks ago. It was recovered but I had to pay 500 to get it out of impound.

A field full of pumpkins

"Gabriel" shares, "I'm currently working pumpkins in Watsonville, CA. I will work so families will have Jack-o'-lanterns for #Halloween. It's hard work as pumpkins are large and heavy. The average pumpkin weighs 12–15 lbs, but some weigh 70 lbs and take two of us to lift." #WeFeedYou

Right?!? You have to present yourself a certain way while seeking gainful employment, which people are required to do while receiving SNAP benefits, but if you actually present yourself that way while out in the world, people act as though you must not need SNAP benefits.

Make it make sense.

A picture of a patch of pea vines growing in the corner of a wattle bed in Iona's garden. The peas are leaning out of the bed to reach for the late afternoon sun. Little white blooms and peapods are visible hanging from the crowd of vines.

The peas are making the most of the last weeks before frost sets it.

Today I'm watching Through The Shadow(AtravΓ©s da Sombra 2015)

I had to do a little background reading on The Vargas Era in Brazil to better understand the choice of period setting. Much like the 2009 BBC tv adaption, it adds more layers to the tension in the story.

You can donate to the Chicago Street Vendor Relief Fund to help buy out a local street vendor’s cart for the day. They’ve partnered with a bike patrol / cycling solidarity group, which rides around buying out the inventory then distributing the food at homeless & unhoused encampments & shelters.

The Fantasy of Happiness
YouTube video by Daniel Hart - Topic The Fantasy of Happiness

not to take a single thing away from the acting/writing/overall excellent work of interview with the vampire but so much emotional lift in that series is being done by having a classically lush score, the kind not even most movies get these days

I watched M Night Shyamalan's The Village for the second time last night. The first time, I didn't know enough about historical clothing to appreciate the consistency with the early 1870s silhouettes in it. This time my jaw was on the floor.
