I want people to take precautions so the world is safer for everyone—them, me, others.
I want more people ending chains of transmission, which literally saves lives.

I want you to get vaccinated if you can, for everything that you can, to protect both yourself and those who cannot.
I used to have this argument about the flu shot. People I know were all "well i'm young and in good health so i don't need to." Do you care about anyone who is not those things?!

Outstanding thread.
Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

And our last sale was a whole week ago.
That rate will not begin to come close to getting us through *this week*, never mind this month or next month.
We urgently need to bring in multiple sales now.

The serpent over her shoulder is formed of sterling silver pattern wire in a sculpted marquise/barrel pattern, both wrapped and overlaid. Bear pawprints, symbols of strength and medicine, ring the crescent moon, and she holds a stormy royal lapis cabochon in her other hand.

Her dress is simple: a single textured, stylized triangle, with a concave base, paired to form diamond shapes, the pairings repeated three times. That diamond shape signifies the Eye of Spirit, a powerful symbol of wisdom and guidance.

Here, two simple stamps form her eye on a face shown in profile, and her traditional hair bun. Her necklace is an old-style gorget, created by inverted radiant arcs edged with elk-hoof prints, evoking beads fringed with other materials.

It's not an easy process, but Wings accomplishes it, always moving forward, never back; that includes the tight spaces and sharp angles between shoulders and head, between the fingers, in the arc of the moon, and at her feet.

As noted above, the whole pin is saw-cut freehand using a jeweler's saw, which is a large upright frame with a filament-thin blade strung at center. The blade is metal, but it resembles an Eversharp lead.

Each one wears traditional dress and jewelry, which leaves plenty of room for unique designs; and each has a great heart, but occasionally, as here, it's implied from behind the other stampwork.

All share certain characteristics in common, of course. While the orientation may occasionally be reversed, all are saw-cut freehand in this same basic form and shape. All include a crescent moon in one hand, a gemstone cabochon in the other and a serpent over the shoulder, denoting prosperity.

This week's #TBT featured work dates back to 2008 or so, one in Wings's long-running signature series, "The Warrior Woman." Of the scores, perhaps hundreds of them that he's created over the last three decades, every single one is unique.
