gonna ship out orders in a little while. also tomorrow is the deadline for Christmas presents in the US. https://www.nora.jewelry/

hello internet! the cutoff for getting presents from me for Christmas is THIS TUESDAY. after that I'll do my best but I (and USPS) can't guarantee anything. https://www.nora.jewelry/

i do not recommend raw dogging any of the alex jones content

some advice on the alex jones news: if you want to know what's going on with his shit i recommend waiting a few days and just listening to the knowledge fight episode about it. you can also just wait for people who listen to knowledge fight to summarize it as if they did their own research

"touch grass" is bad advice. i am allergic to grass and it's a huge waste of water. we should instead be touching desert-friendly xeriscaping

mr brightside
bright me a side

i do still have a lot of really beautiful glass work in stock. i'm going to talk a little bit about the glass in this thread. https://www.nora.jewelry/

@HauntedOwlbear thank you!! I'll try that.

hey does anyone have advice on places in the upper body to put a nicotine patch where the skin doesn't move around too much and it will fucking stay on that isn't directly above my collarbones? because this shit is really interfering with my hobby of wearing necklaces

i need help with something, masto. i need you to tell me not to go cutting glass up for a new project even though i just got the parts for it and have a really good idea. i can do it tomorrow. also i just took an edible.

bot idea: bot that generates bad advertisements for non-existent products to simulate the twitter experience for mastodon users detoxing from the twitter platform

i think the lack of quote tweets on here emboldens people to behave super weird in your replies and that we should have quote tweets but be restricted to only being available for people who have replied to you

mastodon is full of busybodies/cops that all have impossible, contradictory standards about what comes across their feeds and you should post selling your art as much as you want if for no other reason than it makes them mad

every time i see something that's like "this is a chance to show your art but don't try to sell it! but people do make sales from this ;)" im like oh cool so you can sell but you have to do a little dance to show you don't need the money, cool

I'm giving some jewelry away to some trans folks who wouldn't otherwise get presents. details here. everyone be cool about this ok? https://cohost.org/nora/post/3669867-giving-some-jewelry

just fyi the "ruin concrete with sugar" thing doesn't work. it might delay setting a bit but that's all

these pendants are made by making big slabs with layers of colored glass pieces, covering them with clear, and then adding murrine glass (extruded glass rods with patterns inside them) on top, then cutting the slabs up and refiring the pieces. here's a thread detailing the process. https://mastodon.social/@NoraReed/111155313034355150

spotlight on the atomic symbol earrings: these are custom printed just for my shop and have steel backs. they're very cute and only $12. i put two pairs of rubber backs on them because i always lose my earring backs. https://www.nora.jewelry/product/atomic-stud-earrings

spotlight on cufflinks: I am a huge fan of "men's jewelry", and i really love cufflinks: they're weighty objects, heavy with the symbolism of gender and formal dress and with gendered expectations. here's the ones i make and sell. https://www.nora.jewelry/category/cufflinks 10% off with HOLIDAY23. #fedigiftshop
