Another day in the mid-nineties, with no rain for us.

Another storm gathering; another day in the mid-nineties, with no rain for us.

The forecast all week? Has insisted that our high today would be 74, and for next fifteen days or so, no more than 76. We're already 20 degrees higher than that. And no, I'm not talking about the forecast for the town or county; I'm talking about what they've specified for our little spot right here. It's absurd. It's 2024, the world is burning up, drying out, and drowning around us, they still refuse to factor climate collapse into their modeling.

Then again, this is a society that refuses to acknowledge the pandemic that's killing people in the millions, never mind mitigate it; refuses to admit the genocides occurring on our screens before our eyes, never mind halt them in the slightest.

Like I said yesterday, all of it feels like a metaphor for everything else right now. Sound and fury and plenty of suffocating effects, but no rain. None in the form of sales, either.

And the expenses from last year and the first half of this year broke us so badly that we're way behind on every single thing now. Generating income is all that matters at this point, which means sales are all that matters. Wings redid the new cuff, so I expect to have it tonight, as well as a new wristband, possibly; sometime soon, he'll have a few new pairs of simple bezel-set gemstone earrings, too [turquoise, fossilized mammoth tooth, rose quartz, Picasso jasper all currently in the mix]. But apart from last weekend's sales and so forth, we are still way, WAY behind on this year, and I will probably need to make sales at a rate of at least two per week for the rest of the year for us to catch up [and that's just breaking even]. So: Go buy! Please! Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (Amazon cards are probably most useful at this point); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year, this one already even worse than the last, we really need to get 2024 onto a better footing, so please share all of the links.
