So I shared this thread on the 100th anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 & I'll share again because I think it is important for folks to know what it is the Trump admin has to undo to undo our US citizenship in order to set a precedent for challenging birthright citizenship.
Forgot to share here but to help put this into perspective, my great grandma was 9 years old when ALL Native Americans gained US citizenship on June 2, 1924 with the Indian Citizenship Act.

I stopped using sticker mule absolute ages ago because of the owner’s bullshit. The owner is still on his bullshit, so if you use sticker mule, maybe don’t. StickerAPP is a good alternative, and also there’s most likely a local sticker printer near you (Sticker Ninja in Portland, for example).
The latest move by Sticker Mule's owner. Please don't give these people your money (or honestly send them your artwork, you never know).

Y'all the metals markets aren't stopping with the shenanigans.
The sterling casting grain in my hand is $3.74 more today than it was this time last year. For that much. Right now the silver market is at $90.80 (down from yesterday) which is up $18 since just the 1st!

Cancel your Spotify subscription.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

An administrative warrant is signed by ICE, not a judge. Without a signed judicial warrant, agents do not have the right to enter your home.
You have the right to ask to see the warrant.
You have the right to refuse entry without one.

Got a flat tire on the way from our hotel to load-out at OrcaCon this evening. It's ok, we'll get the spare...oh wait, apparently they stole that when the van was stolen last February because of course they stole our spare tire.
Go away 2025, seriously.

I haven't played the demo yet but it looks hella cool so I am absolutely sharing it with folks to see if we can get that internet miracle.
Sorry, folks. Seven days to go and 50% funded. We'll need a modern internet miracle to see these lovely ladies get their sequel. I was always worried that the visuals were not appealing to most VN gamers, but... ouch

Hey blueskyers! Who will we see at @orcacon.bsky.social this weekend?
We'll obviously be at our booth during the day but what games are you running after the vendor hall closes that I should check out?
We had so much fun with Black Shield Game Club last year so will definitely be hanging out there.

Every time one of my mutuals with a larger follower count reposts my stuff I get work, sales, followers. Even smaller accounts sharing my stuff directly translates to making my life more financially secure. If you're ever wondering if your reposts count, they absolutely do.

Better response is "that's worth every penny and some day I hope to own a design of yours" at least I'd much rather hear that!
It's better than hearing the sound of my heart dying a tiny bit every time I see current spot prices and realizing that design in my minds eye won't see reality.

If you want non-costume jewelry this year please know you are going to be paying significantly more for it than last year. Even more than last month. Be prepared for this.
