To increase my impact beyond my own sourcing decisions, I’m working to help others in the #jewelry industry improve their practices as well. Start with our Foundations class: https://t.co/h3zuDa98AJ or let’s start a conversation! #ethicaljewelry

We acknowledge that the jewelry industry, as it currently stands, is limited in terms of responsible, sustainable practices, information, and materials. However, we make choices every day to move our collective ethical jewelry practice forward.https://t.co/FXUe8PSYdC

@SenAlexPadilla how can you not even have a voicemail set up to take messages from your constituents. I am so disappointed to not see any support from you for the Palestinians in a humanitarian crisis in Gaza right now and can't even call to voice my thoughts.

Canadian Mining corp Belo Sun $BSXGF is attempting to open the largest open pit gold mine in the Xingu River Basin of the Amazon. Sign the petition to stop it from threatening biodiversity loss & Indigenous rights violations! #BeloSunOut #ForaBeloSun

I know there are so many references in Barbie but am I the only one who thought of The Virgin Suicides with the scene where it’s a close up of Barbie’s eye then gets cross faded with the sun shining through the tree?

Came back to this forsaken place just to share this with a few more folks, hope y'all check it out! It's a truly excellent short film by my friend @BensonChambers (and @spiffythedog & @phil_jackson !)

@stairwaygames loving Coral Island lots, just wish harvesting crops was easier. Playing on steam deck and it’s pain staking slow to line up properly with the crops to get the “harvest” action to pop up rather than “interact” with sprinklers or scarecrows

@SharonZJewelry Heavy plus

We’ll learn about proposed gold mining projects in California, and what members of the jewelry industry can do to support Friends of the Inyo.

Coral Island is Star Dew Valley plus Animal Crossing with a really enticing ocean preservation angle. Loving it. #coralisland

Thanks to @NationalJeweler for sharing about our online course, Foundations for Sustainable Jewelry Practices! #ethicaljewelry #onlinelearning https://t.co/Br7mpVe18g

@SharonZJewelry Can’t wait to see how well it can work in different locations/with different types of ore bodies! It’s looking so promising

Finding it so cute hearing all the journalists pronouncing “Vilnius” probably for the first time 🇱🇹 ❤️

@realtonysm1th @donovanreyno1ds @ethan_harsell @evansmith2020 That’s why it’s called a dogwhistle…because those who don’t want to “hear it” (read: think more critically or say what they really mean) can just say that that’s not what they hear…that’s the excuse…

[Ana Brazaityte (she/her) @onuhh]

@babbel Okay, just sent DM. Thanks!

[Ana Brazaityte (she/her) @onuhh]

@babbel is there a way to skip ahead in courses? Looking for more advanced Spanish lessons and currently stuck on conjugating regular ar verbs, not very exciting

[Ana Brazaityte (she/her) @onuhh]

@babbel Hmm I only see a "Newcomer A1" level for Spanish when I'm logged in in browser too, is that correct? I was really hoping for some more advanced lessons on past & future tense conjugations and such...

[Ana Brazaityte (she/her) @onuhh]

I’m so grateful for @Oakland ‘s #MACRO program. One of their teams was just able to help out a person who was camped out up against our front gate since yesterday early evening. Kind and respectful help like everyone deserves, without police involvement. https://t.co/16eBizhXQT

[Ana Brazaityte (she/her) @onuhh]

@LindseyCreated @AjaSaysHello Putting that much effort into a propaganda campaign when they could just put it into actually changing even an iota of their practices

[Ana Brazaityte (she/her) @onuhh]

Why is everything a “masterclass” now?? How many things can you be a “master” of? And aren’t we kind of past using that word?

We also want to highlight Queer Metalsmiths, an organization working to uplift LGBTQ+ jewelers and metalsmiths.

Jewelry is one of the oldest forms of self expression, it’s human to want to adorn oneself.

Similarly, diversity in humans is they way life has always been. So why limit jewelry with gender norms & expectations? We want to recognize the work of those who are leading the way.
