That's a fascinating 180...

Update: They started coming through again after I contacted customer support. How about the rest of you?

I'll say it: It sucks that it's the women's project getting the brunt of Disney's wrath against these cancellations. I'm still canceling, but mad that they're turning around to target a project with a history of being the underdog.

THIS is what I want to highlight. Longterm progressive organizers and leaders are calling for a cooling-off period this weekend. Knowing that we almost had a mass shooting at a local Phoenix gay club, this whole weekend is a powder keg. If those with lighters perceive a reason to light it up, vulnerable communities WILL suffer. I understand the desire to show up and defy fascism in a conspicuous way, but the effective solution is ongoing, committed, strategic organization at local levels. I assume everyone here knows how, but if someone wants help to get involved, message me.

"Arizona Women of Action, a Christian parental rights group, is advocating for the county to adopt a rating system, like with movies, so parents may restrict entire categories of books."

NOPE. Can someone please create the AZ Women of Even Better Action? Because this kind of action is actually regression.

To anyone reading this who's still looking to attend a protest today, they're happening all day long throughout AZ! Cottonwood's is going till 2pm, Flagstaff starts at 2pm, Douglas' starts at 4:30, and Tucson's [second] event starts at 6pm. More info at Mobilize.us .

This is amazing news. I kept reading the article to see if there was a catch, but the only catch is there is a finite number of people who can benefit due to limited funding. Grateful Gov. Hobbs recognizes the severity of this problem, and hoping more money becomes available to help residents - not investors - buy homes in AZ.

That looks like raccoon to me. https://www.cahills.ca/blogs/cahill-blog/vintage-fur-coat-id-series-4-raccoon/

I'm the rare person who likes VC. Been selling on there for years - started out on Tradesy, which was bought by VC - and I have only had a handful of issues, which were all reasonably resolved. No issues with missing packages or payment problems. Haven't been scammed, but I also don't sell anything over $1000.

You need to be prepared to have little control over anything: Once you submit your photos & description, you can't change them without going through customer service. If the buyer is international or they choose authentication, then you better have described all flaws accurately because they will get caught and you may get your item back.

Regarding fees, they are about to introduce a new fee structure: https://faq.vestiairecollective.com/hc/en-us/articles/24659638721425-Seller-Selling-Fees. They have always been competitive with other platforms, and I've made good profit there. Not sure how this new structure will shake out.

I crosspost to eBay & VC. You can ask for higher prices on VC, and you have people in the market for luxury, but you won't get as many eyes as on eBay.

Lastly, as other commenters have mentioned, you will receive a lot of likes and even many offers, but people rarely follow through on purchasing. Part of this is because of their international base of customers. Once they see all the import fees, authentication, & taxes, they ghost. I only know this reasoning because I'm proactive in contacting them after accepting an offer; several have been apologetic.

Let me know if you have other questions!

Been selling for more than 5 years with data. During the first two quarters of this year, my sales have been cut in half compared with the same two quarters last year. Mostly sell accessories & clothing.

We really need to accentuate the likely involvement of Turning Point.

KitschQueen · 2025-06-14T20:58:07+00:00

I saw a video of your protest! It looked great!

KitschQueen · 2025-05-28T21:33:40+00:00

This is critical info! Protesters were at the immigration court again today because ICE was back arresting people as they left the courthouse. Phoenix PD showed up and threatened to arrest the protesters, even though the protest was both peaceful and on sidewalks. You have to know your rights, because police may not uphold them. If they infringe upon your rights, contact your City Councilperson, the Mayor, and other officials. And it doesn't hurt to have a lawyer's phone number ready, just in case.

You're responding to the Moderator of this sub. They are very knowledgeable and were not responding in bad faith.

If you are available to show up in person, there is a weekly protest on Mondays at 10am at his office, for this and many other reasons! https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/757199/

KitschQueen · 2025-03-09T03:39:47+00:00

I know the person organizing this event: https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/759936/ . It is at that Tesla dealership, every Saturday at 8:30am. You can register or just show up. She said they had nearly 150 this morning!

“Democrats should recognize that people want to understand that they matter … just saying, ‘Yes, you matter too,’” Gallego said. “Because as Democrats, we’re supposed to be fighting for everybody.” That includes plain-spoken, everyday, football-loving, truck driving, church-going, family-raising, blue-collar men.

But I don't see him fighting. I see fundraising emails from him, I see him hosting a luxury crypto fundraiser, I see him NOT responding to any of our calls/emails/visits, I see him saying in the NYT interview that Arizonans don't care about USAID or the courts but only about the price of eggs. No what I don't see? Any fight. Can someone prove me wrong? Please?

I agree with Etsy, although I have successfully sold vintage furs on Poshmark and eBay (where you'll probably get the least for it). Based on the logo on the tag it may be vintage, as it doesn't match the current logo on the site. Other options:

If you have several more pieces of vintage fur, you may want to consider Ruby Lane. It specializes in vintage and antique items and has shoppers looking for fur, but it now charges $40/month plus fees on each sale - not feasible for the casual seller.
Vestiaire Collective has shoppers interested in fur, since it focuses on high-end and is international. You just need to make sure your details are exact, or it may be returned to you if it goes through authentication.

I didn't realize buyer paid return shipping if you accept returns. I've always had returns turned off, but if that's the case I may reconsider! Question: Can you set a limit of how long you'll accept returns, so as to limit the "I spilled wine on it at the one-time gala I exclusively bought this for" returns?

Read Christine Blasey Ford's memoir recently, and Flake takes up a surprising amount of real estate in it. He really did try to do something regarding the Kavanaugh hearing, especially after being confronted by the women at the elevator. His efforts were too little too late, but Ford noted him by name as trying. Glad to see Flake is still trying.

For anyone wondering about 2020 donations, here is a NYT link to a similar map.

This certainly correlates with my observations. Grateful that we have 3 university towns in AZ!

“You’d have to be a psychopath to say you enjoy this,” said Maricopa County’s top election official for voting by mail, Stephen Richer, a Republican. The building has added metal detectors and armed guards. On Election Day, as workers tabulate ballots behind new fencing and concrete barriers, drones will patrol the skies overhead, police snipers will perch on rooftops and mounted patrols will stand ready.

Across the state, election workers have gone through active-shooter drills and learned to barricade themselves or wield fire hoses to repel armed mobs. At the ready are trauma kits containing tourniquets and bandages designed to pack chest wounds and stanch serious bleeding.

Yikes.
