Hey all - Aji and Wings desperately need sales to make it through the end of the year, so I'm going to thread some of @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social 's posts of their jewelry here. The most reliable way to purchase is to email Aji at ndnsilverbywings (at) gmail (dot) com. All of these are handmade.

If you're American, cisgender, and think of yourself an ally to trans people, please consider reading this piece by @evanurquhart.bsky.social. Nothing in there is new, exactly, but if you want to understand the sheer scale of the attack against trans people in the US over the last year, read it
