Just fair warning. If you come here for the pretty rocks, that's great. But you'll also get my pro-choice, pro-civil rights, super queer, socialist politics.
If you ONLY want pretty rocks, there's always my Instagram

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.

Thanks to those who pointed me to the right info! I called 425-313-8100 and spoke to a person (!!) who thanked me for my feedback and forwarded me to the place where she said they are logging those calls. I spoke to another actual person who loggedme; script in next post for other shy folks.

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 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.
