I crochet more than critters! Sometimes!

Anyone who looks past the header of my blog knows what my current hyperfixation is haha….

I stayed up all night 8 months ago reading @bamsara’s amazing Solar Lunacy (seriously, go give it a read, it will permanently alter your brain chemistry) and that was pretty much the end for me LOLLL. Hyperfixation reached critical mass about a month ago and I had to make SOMETHING. Hence, Sun/Moon bag. Complete with REALLY cute pins from SpaceJacket on Etsy and amazing keychains from @vurelly!

Pattern for the bag is from AlyssiaCreates on Etsy!

Ugghhh I need this in my liiffeeeee😫😫😫I just finished 5 big projects and cleared out a massive amount of yarn darn you don't make me go back to Michael's on my day off😭😭😭

BEKKATHYST 10th Business Anniversary Giveaway!

~This giveaway is in no way affiliated with Tumblr.~

Please read thoroughly before entering!

Hello lovely Tumblr folk! It’s that time again- I have a giveaway for you all. This one is extra special because my business/shop turned 10 years old earlier this year! 💜

We have an online store that could use your support!

You can also find us on Instagram.

About us: My business is a small, family-run establishment that I started here on tumblr in 2013. I’ve been lucky enough to grow to the point where this supports me, my partner, and our daughter. In the US we also had a brick-and-mortar shop in which I employed my mom and a few of my siblings. However, we closed it to be able to move to Austria, my home country! 💜 I strived to put compassion and ethics above all else in my business, and I hope that shines through. We have a website but also run many fun sales directly here on Tumblr!

One of our long-term customers graciously asked to sponsor this giveaway, so I'd like to give a huge thank you to @classicintp !! Also thank you to everyone who voted on which crystal should be featured in the giveaway. Opal won in a landslide!

This giveaway will have two winners.

What the first winner receives:

  • The two amazing specimens of opal shown above! The darker piece is a boulder opal from Australia with a hole drilled through it (so it can be worn as a necklace) and the lighter piece is a massive rough chunk of welo opal from Ethiopia. The retail value of both of these opals is approximately $650.

What the second winner receives:

  • A $50 gift card that can be used for our online store or tumblr sales!

Rules:

  1. You must be 16 or older. (If under 18 you MUST have parent’s permission)
  2. You can be from anywhere in the world! I am shipping from Austria.
  3. Shipping is entirely free, I will cover it. But if you live in a country that charges import tax on gifts, you are responsible for it. If it gets sent back to me, you will need to pay shipping to have it sent again.
  4. You must be following me, so you can get updates if anything about the giveaway changes.
  5. Please check out our online shop!
  6. Reblog this post to enter. Likes count as additional entries. No giveaway or spam blogs. If you reblog on a side blog, let me know in the tags what the name of your blog is that you’re following me with.
  7. Please don’t spam people with reblogs- limit 2 reblogs per blog per day.  
  8. At the end, each entry will be assigned a number and the winner will be chosen by a random number generator.
  9. The giveaway ends Tuesday, August 1st, 2023.
  10. The winners will be messaged and must respond with their full name and address within 24 hours, or a new winner will be chosen.

Please respect me and my rules, and have fun!

Aish I'm so excited! Opals are single handedly my fave gems rn and just imagine being able to final own not one but two🥺😭😭

why is finding trans healthcare so complicated can’t someone just hit me up with boy juice and amputitty me already

“you need documentation” ok fine

i have no idea if this will help with your situation, but erin reed has a map with all informed consent clinics- this may be completely unhelpful but i know these clinics make it easier to access hrt with less barriers.

so I made the original post as a joke, but then I saw this and found an informed consent provider in my area and I’m gonna make an appointment. genuinely thank you, this reblog could make my healthcare journey so much easier. hope this helps someone else too <3

Beautiful gorgeous creature of the day is a friendly squid

So, listen, I'm not usually the "did a squid write this" guy, but this article is about how these massive predators aren't dangerous and also aren't very nutritious, so I really gotta wonder about this one

*snorts at the memtal image of a squid on a typewriter*

Your impact on other people is bigger than you think. Someone still giggles when they think of that funny thing you said. Someone still smiles when they think of the compliment you gave them. Someone silently admires you. The advice you give has made a difference for people. The support and love you’ve offered others has made someone’s day. Your input and opinions have made someone think twice. You’re not insignificant and forgotten. Your existence makes a positive difference, whether you see it or not.

I know it's silly, I mean I'm just the cashier at Michael's on occasion that says nice things. I make it an actual point that if I notice something I like about a customer's attire or something they're carrying or their amazing piece of tattoo artwork that I say something. Most of these interactions occur in less than a five minute time span (note according to the register time sheet I currently have the fastest transaction time rofl and I'm damn proud of it🤣)

But like? I dondo it to be remembered or praised. I do it because I absolutely adore seeing people smile. Because I have no clue what's going on in your life but honey you are rocking that newly dyed purple hair and I just HAVE to say that I adore it. And that old worn shirt with the sick paisley pattern you've had since 895 bc? Yes honey it looks fabulous on you and gdi I'm saying something!

Some of those customers I'll never see again, and that's okay. Call it selfish or weird but it makes me happy to see you smile. It makes me happy to briefly ask about that new past time you picked up because you just so happened to watch a tiktock the other day. It brings me joy to share the knowledge I've aquired over the last however many years of crafting so that when you tackle that new baby blanket for your coworker at least you'll go into it with a little bit of confidence because the nice cashier at Michael's said she believed in you.

That's why I love my job. I adore it despite the shady corporate bullshit. I get to make people happy and smile and be confident in a field I am so absolutely passionate about that I spent my whole life inundating my entire being with arts and crafts.

They may never remember me, and that's okay. But I am content and that is enough for me.

Not knowing that you have a villain inside you, a hero, and a bystander is a lesson that everyone should learn.

What is the quote from Jingo, by Sir Terry Pratchett, to the effect of "when someone does something terrible, we want it to be one of Them, because if it isn't Them, then it is Us?"

“It was because he wanted there to be conspirators. It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn’t then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do the bad things.”
