Fediverse, send me your jeweler recommendations!

I've lost some weight recently (intentionally and healthy) and now my wedding band is frequently slipping off. It's tungsten, so resizing isn't an option, and the independent artisan who made it closed up shop a couple years ago.

I'd like to stick with tungsten if possible, though I'm also open to titanium or other low-maintenance metals, and would prefer to support independent artists. I'm located in #Seattle if there's anyone local, but also happy to shop online.

ISO One Fabulous Parasol

🔁 #BoostsWelcome

I have no idea how to shop for a #Parasol or how to #LazyWeb my way to that knowledge sans this lazy web post.

I would LOVE to buy from an artisan. OH, I just remembered I found that not-a-coven group of women making period clothing … I can also ask them. Okay, but still this message in a bottle.

In Search Of One Fabulous Parasol

Parsol MUST:

  • be and look FABULOUS; doesn't have to be queer themed, but I'd hop on a quality Trans pride parasol

  • protect me from the sun; I'm going to sit and picket with it

  • NOT come from Amazon or an effective equivalent; could come from Etsy but ick; would love to connect directly with Fedi artisans or their collectives

Looking at the early episode of “In Search Of” wondering if there are Martians. It’s interesting - doesn’t take the hypothesis very seriously, but does ask the climatological question: what happened to the water on Mars, and could Earth’s climate go bad?

This was 1977, so the guess isn’t global warming. That idea was around, and has been pretty much since the properties of carbon dioxide were worked out, but the worry around that time was worldwide desertification, or a new ice age.

Leonard Nimoy - “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” (1968)

Everytime I hear this I’m struck by how it’s so fully developed, musically.

The video is cool too, but the song itself is just perfect. Well crafted, celebratory lyrics, plus some cool horn sounds, particularly the little baritone sax solo near the end.

Back on it, watching #InSearchOf . Curse of Tutankhamun was solid, if not particularly convincing. But the Martian LIfe episode has some interesting things. First off, REALLY GOOD early call drawing a line from 'pouring smoke & pollution into the atmosphere' to cataclysmic planetary disaster...but then followed it up with "but mankind has done worse..." with Atomic Bomb footage. Errr...first answer was correct.
