Agate is a form of chalcedony used as a protective talisman for thousands of years. In 3000 BCE, Egyptians used it to ward off thunderstorms and to quench thirst (Ed, note: These goals seem counter-productive). In the Middlle Ages, people thought agate could make the wearer invisible (Ed. note: being aged middie aged can do that too) and protect them from danger.

Today, agate is believed to promote inner peace, protect against negativity, including bad dreams, aid in emotional and physical healing, ground, stabilize, and energize, encourage emotional balance and self-confidence

Grieving the loss of an artist does not necessarily condone the problematic views they once held. To Yayoi Kusama's credit, she presumably learned the errors of her ignorance.

Yayoi Kusama quote from SF Chronicle: I deeply regret using hurtful and offensive language in my book. My message has always been one of love, hope, compassion, and respect for all people. My lifelong intention has been to lift up humanity through my art. I apologize for the pain I have caused

When the renowned physicist Niels Bohr was at Los Alamos working on the Manhattan Project, he nailed a horseshoe over his office door. Somebody asked him, “Surely you don’t believe in that superstition!” To which he replied, “Of course not… but they say it works whether you believe in it or not!”

here is my coping card, in case of anxiety. these are my ways to stave off panic attacks, as taught to me by my wonderful therapist. maybe it can help you too.

coping card - in case of anxiety
listen to binaural beats on stereo headphones
reset using breathing exercises - try holding it in
repeat your mantra "i am going to be okay."
go outside - breathe in scents - lavender?
drink water
tilt your head up - keep looking up
validate your feelings!
i am feeling this
it is okay to feel this

An annoying thing about being publicly queer is when a dude wants to objectify women with me. Sir, I am bisexual, I am not an asshole.

On Aug. 1, I am going to launch my online jewelry shop. I am both excited and prepared for disappointment 😅 MariNaomi.myshopify.com

Hi, I'm MariNaomi.

Since the 1990s, my career has been as a writer, author, and visual artist. Recently, I've been self- soothing by making jewelry, gifting or trading it with friends. I love sourcing materials through my travels, estate and garage sales, gem fairs, and wherever I can find interesting, beautiful objects. Then comes the obsessive part, where I will toil over a piece, sometimes for days, until it has just the right look and feel.

Like all my art projects, I post my jewelry to social media. When people asked to buy my bracelets, I initially resisted. Like many artists, I don't enjoy the business side of things. But the more jewelry I made, the more I realized it makes sense for them to land in the hands (on the wrists) of people who want to wear them instead of cluttering up my studio. So here I am, having a real go at it.

I've priced my work according to my material

costs, however I am open to sliding scale or trades with other artists. What's most important is that the bracelets end up with folks who will love them, so don't be shy, reach out!

Treat yourself!

You deserve it. Or maybe you don't. Does anyone deserve anything?

I deserve nice things

The problem with speaking publicly about someone having a borderline personality episode and smearing the reputation of innocent people is that people with BPD are likely to be paranoid and vindictive and come after you for it.
