Tumblr Logo Earrings • $12.00

You aren’t going to find these earrings anywhere else. Seriously, who would be crazy enough to make them. They started their life as a request from a co-worker but turned into a real product that you can actually buy thanks to my mom.

About Maker

Normally this would be a weird situation but this is tumblr, anything goes. These earrings are handmade by my mother. She retired from teaching high school chemistry and needed something to do so I bought her a Glowforge and the things she creates make me equal parts proud and jealous. Her passion is earrings and I had to talk her into making some for me as I might have scared her a bit with stories about my tumblr experience, but she finally agreed.

All income she earns from these earrings will go towards feeding her little glutton of a puppy, Izzi, who is equal parts adorable and picky about what she’ll eat.

Australian Gun Law Update.. September 28

Here’s a thought to warm some of your hearts….

From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia

Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real

figures from Down Under. It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.

The first year results are now in:

Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent,

Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent;

Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!

In the state of Victoria…..alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent.(Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not and criminals still possess their guns!)

While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady

decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.

Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in ‘successfully ridding Australian society of guns….’ You won’t see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information. The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note Americans, before it’s too late!
