This is Loki, our Maine Coon and the cat of our hearts, and he went missing today. We have no idea how he got out, but he’s an elder, indoor cat, the whole region’s in an intense heat wave, and we’re really scared. I doubt I have any followers here in Martinez, CA, but if so, help? It’s SO hot

HI, I have a sick little cat right now, and vet bills have run me out of my savings. My friend Alex has set up a gofundme for me. I would be super grateful for anything y'all can throw over without making things hard for yourselves. www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-...
Gearing up for what I have started calling in my head "Friday Night Jewelry Fight", where I post super beautiful one of a kind things and let y'all run amok. This is the first item for the day. www.adornedbyshivani.com/product/prop...

A gorgeous earpiece in a truly out of this galaxy style. Its like if an earring could be a waterfall, somehow.

I've heard first hand that it's confirmed baristas are having breathing issues and headaches from being exposed to this new Starbucks blending powder. there are no news articles but this powder has silica in it and becomes airborne when used for drinks. Baristas aren't allowed to mask on shift.
still in the shop!
I still have 3 sterling rings available! help me buy the raw materials to make more! (sterling be pricey, y'all 😭) Reminder: I made these to be mega-resizeable. The numbers on the listings are a baseline -- they can go +/- 2 sizes up or down from those! www.peculiarityshop.com/nibs-corner
This dude used to be a logger? A literal lumberjack? And his sign says "Fight Oligarchy"? But I was told that the guy with the terrible tattoo was unique, a rare flower, never his like to be found. Huh.
“Troy Jackson, who is expected to become the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine, said he would not support Senator Chuck Schumer of New York to continue as the party’s leader in the chamber. Mr. Jackson also said that he was not sure he would want Mr. Schumer’s help in the general election.”

Hi! The avengers have assembled, meaning Hillary, Vavia, and Becky are ready to sell you some earrings. I really want this to go smoothly! So there is a small instruction video and in the middle of it is a coupon code for 15% off! Yes, there are subtitles! Let's have some fun.
There absolutely will, including some black opals I’m working on right now!
I can't even with the cut on that stone! Seriously, out of this world amazing. Please say there may be more Nibs-cut opals in the future!!!
Fun fact: i designed that makers mark to look somewhat like the first letters of my name and surname the way they’re written in Bengali
I am listing some rings on the shop today but they are special! That maker's mark? @hernibsen.bsky.social All .925.
This is probably the one I’m proudest of, because tiny faceted stone = deceptively difficult to step bezel!

Let me talk a little bit about why these rings are different. Obviously they are handmade by someone on the shop. Nibs gets seventy percent of every sale on these. You are directly supporting the artist. Also!!! 1/2 @hernibsen.bsky.social

Baby man has recently had an inhaler added to his daily med routine. He is being the very goodest boy about its, but communicating his displeasure via what I’ve started calling his squanch face.
Cat behaviorists, explain to me why my furry son wags his tail like a dog when he’s happy? Like he’s blissed out purring and making biscuits on my shoulder here, but the tail is lashing all the while!
It’s always interesting when I get to explain to a cis person that the current anti-trans hysteria is not only 100% astroturfed, it’s 180° opposite of the initial popular reaction to public medical transition. People thought it was cool! Look what modern medicine can do! She’s a bombshell!
It's easy to forget that the current anti-trans moral panic, for instance, is only four or five years old. That doesn't mean it's not ruining real people's lives and it won't take a while to fix, but it's completely artificial and brand new because, ironically enough, it's not natural.
