Galactic Jewelry Pieces Inspired By The Cosmic Beauty Of The Universe
Moon Stars Jewelry is an Etsy shop catering to the star-studded whims of people. The designer incorporates metals, glitters and glass into each piece to create a multilayered pendant or stone which becomes the heart of the collection. With an extensive career in honing her craftsmanship and eye for details in the design industry, this artist captures the transcendental skyscape in her jewelry design.
She uses glass to mold a fluid space into which she dumps glitters and tiny crystals of dazzling colors to produce a realistic galactic effect. In her studio page on Etsy, she explains the inspiration behind her work, “Like the Tibetan Buddhist monks who, during the casting process of their sacred bells, threw prayers of intention written on rice paper into the molten metal (that special moment of alchemical possibility). I also do this in my own work, realizing the importance of intention, and elements that go beyond the decorative aspect of jewelry.”
The designer creates celestial jewellery pieces that celebrate the beauty of the universe. Her products can be found in herEtsy shop.
this is the same state that acts like potable water isn’t a human right and sent a trafficked 15 yr old girl to prison for 9 years so i’m not even surprised tbh
But what is the drudgery of mandated education for if not to come out able to read, write, and do math so one can be one of those vaunted ‘productive members of society’?
looks like they’ve already decided they won’t be productive members of society and so they better not give these kids any skills that might give them Notions about Rights
A snippet from an article on Huffington Post about what it means to be working poor.
Pretty spot on…
I got into an argument today with someone who is a landlord, and they were outraged, outraged, to find that their evicted tenants owned an Xbox 360. Never mind that the console was ten years old and worth perhaps $50 on Craigslist, they were outraged that their evicted tenants did not sell it, along with the very clothes on their back, to pay their back rent. I tried to explain to him that when you are $1800 in back rent, $50 isn’t even a dent in that debt. Why bother? Why bother selling that $50 item if it isn’t going to get you any less evicted? If it’s not going to save you, you’ll hold on to it. Money becomes meaningless when you’ll never have enough to hold onto. You just let it flow like water through your hands. It’s all gone anyways, no matter what you do. It was gone before it ever touched you.
The other day I got very mad at someone because their justification of why a family didn’t deserve their council house was because they had decorated the front of their house with xmas lights. DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO LIVE WITH NO SMALL PLEASURES AT ALL?!?!? DO YOU REALLY?!?!
This is one of the great end results of capitalism: we treat people as if the only thing they should care about are their mechanical needs but without things to nourish the soul or the capacity to talk about same, we fall apart.
We aren’t meant to be things which sit in blank boxes waiting to be used by our employers. Nothing in nature acts that way. Nothing’s meant to.
Jill Stein is pushing forward with her petitions for a recount in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan
On Monday, Stein successfully filed for a recount in Pennsylvania within hours of the state’s deadline.
In a video posted to her campaign website, Stein explains this particular recount will require election officials to “jump through some hoops” to come to a decisive conclusion about which presidential candidate claimed Pennsylvania’s electors.
Stein pointed to “hack-friendly” voting machines and restrictive voter identification laws as hindrances to accurate and reliable elections.
Pennsylvania presents a tricky case: According to CBS News, Pennsylvania is the only state in which a recount can only be requested via a legal appeal to be decided in court.
What’s more, Stein reminds viewers she can’t be the sole person to pull the trigger on a recount — the process, she says, must be initiated by thousands of voters. Read more
I was walking my dog today and this little boy stopped to pat her and was asking questions about her. He wanted to know where I got her and I said she was adopted from a shelter.
Boy: Have you told her yet?
Me: What?
Boy: Have you told her that she’s adopted?
Me: Yes, she knows.
Boy: That’s good, you should never keep a secret from a dog.
