So I realize that “tism rizz” was a little bit of a meme, but I think it’s a real thing!! There’s something about clear communication and easy praise that’s really attractive to people.

THE AUCTIONS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE VOTER SUPPRESSION ENDS. We send notes for crafters ahead of an auction so you can plan which projects to finish and make sure you’re on the list.

If this country is going to change, it will be because we supported folks in “red” states. Give your $5, knock doors, send postcards, call voters, go to your local school board meeting, run for something, be the person with a meal and a hug and a listening ear. Because we cannot give up.

You can’t despair (for long) and you can’t quit, because if you quit it never gets better. And folks in blue states mock how bad it is & pat themselves on the backs for knowing better and we absolutely cannot keep doing that. (You can take breaks and change what you do, pls, if you need it)

Organizers in the South wearing their shoes to the ground in the streets, at events, in city council, in school and library boards, celebrating every tiny win. And then so many losses. Mourning & anger & despair but they keep doing it because nothing gets better unless we make it better.

I’m reposting this because I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how fucking hard it is to be resilient in a place where so many people want to break you. Folks going around with their hearts in their throats hoping they can get healthcare, they can keep their jobs, they can survive.

YES! The impact is far beyond “just” a million dollars, for sure. This community has rallied around so many great causes, especially the last 5 years. ❤️

When I told y'all that the big ticket items are flashy but this auction runs on the fact that *so many people* put in $5 and $10 and $25 items, I WAS NOT KIDDING.

I love—and want to remind new folks—that this all started with Georgia. It started with making a difference in states that go red, but only because voting access has been so restricted. There’s hope in all the states and all the states deserve better. We don’t write off anywhere or anyone.

When someone talks about whether you can separate someone from their work, I know the someone they’re talking about is a white man. Marginalized creators (including young women who are that man’s victims) are never allowed to have their work considered apart from their marginalization.

Ash, this song is what finally pushed me over the edge to start a SHINee+Ateez station on my pandora and listen today. It needs more calibration, but I liked Don’t Call Me (SHINee), Heartbreak (MINHO), and Move (TAEMIN).

In fairness to the energy difference, she probably sleeps 50% more than you do and has no responsibilities If you could match those stats, I’d bet you would prance too

This is an awesome idea! I can’t wait to check out everyone’s shops! I don’t have a shop, but I made the bee, frog, and chicken plushies, as well as the tasty treats throw pillows and “Catalyst” painting. 😊
