I bought this lovely linen tunic from Etsy in "light grey" (see colour swatch pic), it's XL (see size guide), and it doesn't fit me - but I have been so busy that I wasn't able to return it in time!
It was pretty expensive and it is quite lovely, so I thought I would offer it up here. Would anyone like to make me an offer? (Don't worry about whether I'll be offended by your offer, I can't return it so any offer is welcome!)
…Despite his past stances in favor of action against #TikTok for its #Chinese ties, Trump…wrote in a…post…that he opposed the recent bill:
"If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook & Zuckerschmuck [Mark Zuckerberg] will double their business. I don't want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!"
…reports note that Trump’s shift came after a meeting w/ #JeffYass
#JeffYass, a #conservative hedge fund manager has a $33B stake in #TikTok. #Yass, according to Intelligencer, has been allegedly threatening to pull support from #GOP lawmakers who back the bipartisan divestment bill.
#Bannon… took to Gettr to make his suspicions about the situation clear.
"Simple: Yass Coin," he wrote in a post that included a link to an Axios story about Trump's flip on TikTok….

Hey there! So I’ve got these super cute baby shoes up for grabs. Unfortunately, they’ve never been worn. But that just means they’re brand spanking new and ready for a little one to rock them! Let me know if you’re interested in giving these adorable kicks a new home. #forsale#babystyle#neverworn
I want to apologize ahead of time, because over the next two weeks I am going to be posting #ForSale posts, out of necessity. I've budgeted for next paycheck and am very short. I will be posting items for sale until they are gone. Two #FountainPens (images to come later), Sailor Pro Gear Fountain Pen - Imperial Black, and, LAMY 2000 Fountain Pen, as well as an older #Apple#iPad in perfect condition, but I still have to find out the year (images later). Sorry for the sales ads in advance!
I apparently really like that Tupandactylus imperator sketch, because I’ve made two things from it! The one in the last image isn’t available on my Etsy store, but if you want one, or something similar, you can find others like it in said store (link in bio), or you can commission me directly via private post!
Any engagement really helps, so if you like things like this, please favorite and share it around! I’d really appreciate it!!
I've put a couple of #FountainPens I don't use up #ForSale on eBay if anybody's interested. they're both Monteverde pens, a Monza ID (demonstrator with a flex nib), and a Ritma (chunky red boy with a black nib). (^_^)
NHS England published heavily redacted Palantir contract as festivities began. By redacted, they mean that they will not reveal how data will be used and how it will be shared overseas (England is bad enough). By publishing it over the holiday season they are hoping people don't notice and ask questions. With a supine parliament they might get away with it.
A few comments (I could not put them better myself)
“"lessons have been learned from previous data programmes including the need for a) transparency and b) data to be held in secure environments with the correct checks and balances in place. But we are not telling you what the lessons learned were, or how we are going to protect the data - we are being totally un-transparent about this.” #NHS#Privacy#ForSale#Corrupt#ScottishIndependence
"The platform will use only existing data legally collected by the NHS to support direct patient care, which is lawful under all relevant data protection regulations"
While it might be lawful to centralise patient care records, it's also now lawful to declare an unsafe country safe for deportees. Creating a law that allows you to act abusively does not make it right to do so.
Have people had much luck posting toy sale threads here on Fedi? I've made a lot of semi-impulse purchases over the last few years and I really should do a clean-out, but I really don't want to go the eBay route again. #ToyCollecting#ForSale
I've decided about putting my fursona Kuro up for auction. They come with over 60 pieces of art and counting along with a pre-made fursuit nub tail (made to order, you MUST provide shipping costs for this) made by me.
The character includes some art that contains a character that belongs to an ex partner(s) of mine, you will not have character rights to their OC but you will have rights to edit, alter, etc Kuro. You can crop out their character(s) from the art to just leave Kuro. Please have a Toyhou.se account if not I can save Kuro for you to keep artists credits, etc, etc intact.
I can accept PayPal and CashApp. I prefer CashApp if possible! The character is well over $300 in value but I am willing to haggle!
Hey toy-collecting Fedi: Anybody interested in the Retro Cobra Commander that came with the HISS for an even $100 shipped in the US? He's very cool, and I thought about opening and keeping him, but I decided to wait to see how much he ended up going for on eBay, and I don't want him more than I want a hundred dollars toward my holiday bills. Also taking offers on the tank drivers since I got the HISS for the Dreadnoks.
So, of course, I cut my hand on my scythe for the first time while taking photos of it to sell it (we’ve just bought a little shoebox in Bray and – fingers crossed – we’re moving next week… So! Much! To! Do!)
Anyway, so if anyone wants a scythe (a very lovely Austrian scythe, I might add, which I’m loathe to part with but we barely have a garden in the new place and I don’t want to scare the neighbours.)

Are there tools that exist to anonymize writing styles?
