They all do the same thing to us in the end.

Last night.

This is the Ricing Moon, but there won't be any rice left if Biden gets his way in court and keep ramming Line 3 through. This is what I mean when I say it's ALL colonial white supremacy, all genocide. There is one place in the world where this grows, my cousins steward it, and they're busy destroying it with the help of fascist government cops on hire to private companies.

This is why I don't believe in any of your idols. They all do the same thing to us in the end.

The continual intentional mishandling of this pandemic is proof of that.  As with climate and environment and justice, we hold the blueprints and made them available to you, and colonialism just refuses, because it prefers to harm and kill people.

I'm tired. Very little sleep. The pain is crippling, and I mean that term literally. I spend most of my days right now in a constant state of asthma attack, and yes, the inhaler helps some and so does the pred, but the latter entails an inevitable blinding headache, so I can't ever get free of pain on any front. I'm struggling just to get through each day now. And I can't go anywhere except for medical appointments, because people are willfully endangering everyone else.

On top of it all, fall's here, never mind what the stupid calendar says, and I have to worry about keeping us going through what now promises to be an early winter. I can't even function, and I'm getting a little desperate, because I can't work with all this.

Meanwhile, the bills have to be paid, and we have to find a way to survive in the face of the constant pain and all the willful colonial greed and death and destruction. If I could sell Wednesday's featured work, we'd be good for most of the rest of the year, barring medical or other catastrophe. Might even be able to get on the fall drill list for the well. If I could sell any combination of Wings's new pieces, it would get us out of this month and well into September. But I've got way too much to do and too few hours and other resources to do it. Pain is out of control, which means so is the fatigue. I have to push everything down to make sales, and there's always something or someone else demanding money. 

I can't do this alone. I can't.

Wings has A LOT of new work, and I'd be grateful to everyone who shares all of it, and of course, if you're in the market, keep us in mind for purchases. After paying our taxes the last week plus some other bills, I really do need to build up some reserves to get us just a tiny bit ahead of the eight-ball of bills.

I did get Wings's brand new ring up, posted here Saturday, and the other new cuff, up a few  days ago, is here. You do want to see all the images of that one, too. We still have to make it through the month, never mind the rest of the year, and there are also far too many folks who need help (which we did the other day and will be doing more of next week, in addition to having had to pay for the farrier and for an upcoming firewood delivery; fall's here already). Anyway, links are here:
  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here (priorities are all the mosquito-prevention items, especially the portables and the patio-surface ones, because Wings can take them around the land with his as he works);
  • Patreon here;
  • Ko-fi here.

And if you've been contemplating a purchase? This would be a very, very good time to do it; I've got to make up this staggering outlay somehow. There's lots of fabulous new work, so please watch for all of it and share all of the links.
