Yeah. This is just the seed beads I'm finding new homes for. I think I purged 2 gallon bags of just metal beads & 2 gallon bags of stone beads tonight.
All the beads at the back are size 10/11. The front middle are size 6/8. The right are burlesque. The left are weird. Up front are a bunch of size 10 & 12 beading needles.
A large collection of small containers filled with seed beads.

Do you have a preference for size 10/11 or size 6/8, and/or bugles?

There are various Czech made, Toho, Delica, and a bunch of mystery ones.
This doesn't include seed beads from previous purge days and probably isn't everything from the bin I'm working through right now.
Hello indigenous bluesky! I'm purging my bead stash that I haven't touched in decades. I have a TON of gorgeous seed beads & will happily send them to any of y'all for just shipping cost.
Feel free to share this far & wide. Happy to split things into a bunch of packages to send out.

Wire Grid Squares
Probably about 200 based on how many I counted and how many I've counted so far.
Heavy-AF for shipping but great for anyone in AA at cons.
These take up the most space and will be going to goodwill on Saturday if not claimed b4 then.

Book Boxes
I have a metric button ton of these. They are light but take up a bunch of space if they are being shipped.
I can make a list of # of small/med/lg but im not going to inventory all the different styles.
HMU if you want some/all.
Today was amazing.
I finished a pair of earrings at work that took roughly 44hrs. I got my accurate passport. I got a care package from @xplainthexmen.bsky.social . I'm getting fancy pizza.

Uline's owners "have used their wealth to funnel millions of dollars into the most extreme RW politicians & mvmts... contributed $144 million to conservative groups in the 2024 election cycle... donated $4+ million to bankroll anti-abortion groups who pushed to overturn Roe v Wade."

At RCCC this year I saw at least 3! Gandalf Big Naturals and 1 Sauruman Big UnNaturals
Now I just have to figure out where to put it because I don't want the dog to share it because its not big enough. But the dog will want to share if he can access it.
I say he's bougie because he clearly wants a fountain. He drinks from the bowl currently but I think he spent more time drinking in the sink tonight than any other full day at the bowl.
I learned tonight that Jellyman Kelly is both bougie (I turned the sink on real low & he was so happy to be drinking moving water) and very very orange (he couldn't get a good angle so he just let the water run over his head).
A white and orange cat in a sink with a thin stream of water running on his head. A pleased white cat with orange markings who's head is soaked with water licking his nose.

Rest in peace, Miss Major.

We will carry the bricks forward.
ACLU @aclu.org · 3d
The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.
If you know a jeweler or someone with a big collection who could use organization or display bits, send them this way because I'd love to pass this along instead of sending it to a thrift shop where it might just become trash.
I am hoping to be able to take pics & quick inventory everything next week.
In the interim, some of it is already mentioned in my long bead-purge thread here.
If you're not PDX local I'll ask you to pay shipping. But otherwise this stuff is all free to a good home.
If you are PDX local we can arrange a pick-up spot.
