  Keeping busy filling online orders. The piece pictured is an almost-completed bead wrapped keychain from my pride collection. Pride pieces are some of my favorite to make. The visibility of queer pride accessories signals safety, allyship, and community. It helps us find each other in a world that can be scary and hostile to us, especially as our rights are under attack. As a Two-Spirit artist these things are very important to me.

  More benches at bus stops means more accessible public transit for everyone. I really hope the city of Chicago allows the new technically illegal benches to stay. Out with hostile, inaccessible transit infrastructure, in with more places to park your butt. #Chicago

  RE: https://turtleisland.social/@Tzipporah/117351442787292263 One way to help support me staying out of burnout and keeping prices affordable is to support me monthly with a Patreon membership!! Patrons get earlier notice about new products than other social media, so when I have new stock, you can get first dibs! Selling more in-stock items also helps me keep up easier.

  Cvkvlv.com updates + sales goal! I'm super broke right now!! I need some sales but I can't handle *too* many orders. There have been some supply slowdowns that have limited the items I can make, so you may notice some sold out items on my site. I want to keep prices affordable, but it is becoming hard to keep up with demand while avoiding burnout. *TIPS ARE EXTRA APPRECIATED RIGHT NOW* Goal: $0/$1500 Shop my work → https://cvkvlv.com Tips → https://cvkvlv.com/products/tip-for-tzippo...

  The best trick up an autodidact's sleeve is getting into argument and then needing to go down a research rabbit hole for 3+ hours to make sure you were right. (You were; you're always right.)

  I have been trying to practice singing recently and I have to repeatedly remind myself of what I said in an interview a while back about not being afraid of failure, that it is a necessary part of any creative or skill-learning process. You are allowed to do things you [think you] suck at! Doing things you suck at is the only chance you have to Not Suck at those things. That little voice doesn't want you to reach your dreams, it wants you to stay inside your comfort zone. DON'T...

  Seems like a good time to remind people: • Boosting mutual aid posts is free. • If you saw someone stealing food from a corporation, no you didn't. • Don't cross the picket line. We are not powerless.

  I chose the butterfly (Tvffolopv, Duf-fol-obuh in Mvskoke) to highlight in this years Pride collection because it symbolizes rebirth and transformation. Like every living thing, human beings grow and change. It is the natural way of things. Two-Spirit, trans, and nonbinary people are essential to our communities; likewise butterflies and other pollinators are essential to their ecosystems.

  Cultural appropriation is not just a microaggression; it has *real financial harm* for our communities when we have to compete with artists who claim to be Native but aren't. Falsely advertising your products as made by a Native artist when they aren't is also illegal under The Indian Arts and Crafts Act (IACA) of 1990 (P.L. 101-644). If you want to support our communities and art make sure not to buy anything "Native-inspired" from Etsy or any other site. #N...

  "Cvkvlv" is the Mvskoke (Muscogee) word for "woodpecker". Cvkvlv is pronounced CHUH kuh luh, kind of like chocolate. Woodpeckers are medicine birds, respected for their persistence and power.
