You can feel the change on the air.

Beautiful clouds this morning. For a while, it looked like the rain might arrive a day early, but no. What we do have are trickster winds, though, and you can feel the change on the air.

We can only hope.

But that means that things are going to become urgent, emergent, very fast for our local houseless folks, and for those who are at risk of losing their homes, unable to afford to the keep the heat and lights on, and so on [and on and on and on and on and . . .] . As I said yesterday, we have both given up entirely on the toxic, poisoned colonial politics of this country, and we're turning our efforts daily toward finding actual, concrete ways to help folks. Y'all can help, too:  a GFM for a local family we know [his grandmother and aunt supply the beads y'all love in Wings's work, and despite what it says about Phoenix, he's coming home now] that needs a lot of help, here; and an Amazon wishlist for a group I was invited to join yesterday that does outreach to local houseless folks with pets, gearing up for winter with survival supplies, here. No amount of election nonsense is going to help these folks, but WE CAN, so go give.

And. of course, there's more than enough that I need to get done around here. It starts with sales, of course. And as I also said, I'm also redoing what I highlight here. Wings has SO MUCH NEW WORK that I can't keep up with it all, and I imagine listing it all is a bit overwhelming, so I'm just going to highlight a few items each day. Here are four of his newest pairs of earrings, small solid silver tabs, each with unique freehand stampwork and each at a lower price point than most of his work:

• "Atmospheric Magic," with gorgeous border and texture work, here; 
• "Father Sun's Journey," again, all freehand border and texture work, here; 
• "The Radiant Hours," with an Art Deco sensibility, here;
• And "What Goes Up," Deco meets Modern and my personal favorites, here. 

There's more on the way very soon. And I need to sell them all, because I still need to make sales weekly for us to catch up on the year and cover all the stuff still in the pipeline that needs covering [roof, more medical, etc.]. So: GO BUY! Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (Priority is the liquid soaps and Amazon cards, probably most useful at this point); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

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