Seeing as my last post only got 3 likes, and the last pendant I auctioned sold for $3 (about 4% the asking price, or essentially the price of shipping) it's evident interest in the things I make has dropped off. Auctioning most of my inventory. If it sells for a dollar then it sells for a dollar. If it doesn't sell it will be destroyed. *** This Loliondo Garnet and Lindi Garnet sterling and fine silver pendant is up for auction. *** Starts at $0. Bid full dollar increments only please. Auction ends Sunday June 3 @ 8pm EST when I call it. *** Take this pendant home for a dollar if no one else bids. Final bid wins no matter the price. If a pendant does not get auctioned off it will be destroyed for it's silver to be traded in. $3 shipping applies, US residents only please. Stay blessed y'all. *** Comment bids below. *** * *** #handmade #handmadejewelry #garnets #garnet #710 #spessartite #lindigarnet #loliondo #gems #gemstones #birthstone #heady #headstash #customjewelry #sterlingsilver #finesilver #bitcoin #btc #nature #natural #ethereum #bitcoinaccepted #mandaringarnet #etsy #etsyshop #etsyartist #auction

Tanzania's government calling people indigenous to the land illegal is colonialism, and terrible. The Maa have been there far longer than Tanzania has existed, and they took care of the land far better. The entire country, and continent needs to be decolonised proper, and re-constituted, so colonialists and their allies stop ruining people's lives.

“The land injustices and massacre are due to the interests the Tanzania government has in fetching tourists’ dollars – not otherwise,” said a Maasai leader. “We, the people of Loliondo and Ngorongoro, already conserved the region for centuries.”
