Timeline Cleanse… Friday rainbows!
Here’s a couple of sapphire suites I put together, with some alternates for choosing from. I’m unreasonably delighted with these bright colors! 🌈
Custom ring design in progress, with a scatter pattern for the stones. What would YOU want to make with these? 😁

The only ones mad about people knowing their rights are people who were planning on violating those rights.
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Hard-working people who do so much for our country are being threatened with arbitrary layoffs because of the whims of the richest man in the world.
INCLUDING nuclear safety engineers at Hanford. How does that leave anyone better off?

Senate Dems filibuster Vought. They’ve been at it all night.
Vought’s goals are not secret, nor are they subtle—we do not have to decipher anything here. He's going to break laws, cut programs that help Americans, and funnel all that money to billionaires. I'm voting NO.

This is so insanely upsetting. We could be getting a vaccine for HIV, we’re so close, but instead we’ve got a billionaire with an inferiority complex running around breaking things.
Mind-boggling wreckage. Among the lifesaving programs now disrupted by Elon’s attack on @USAID: phase 1 trials for a possible HIV vaccine.
