You know those days when you wake up and think, “I just can’t do this today. I can’t take one more day as a walking, talking fat-bodied political statement and I can’t cope with the misogyny and racism and ablism and homophobia and transphobia and capitalism and hate and greed and pollution and noise and assholes because it’s hopeless and we can never change anything ever”? I have those days sometimes. But from now on, instead of despairing,* I will call those times Teaspoon Days:

KNEEL BEFORE THE POWER CARDIGAN
Thanks to Melissa for the concept and Faith for the execution. And how pants-wettingly great is it going to be the first time I’m out and about and run into some other awesome person wearing a teaspoon? Because I’ll know that whatever I’m feeling, be it despair or the will to keep on fighting, I am not alone.
*Okay, I will probably despair some, too, but whatever this jewelry can’t fix, I will treat with beer.

I got mine yesterday too and I was so excited! After I got over being freaked because I recognized Faith’s name on the envelope and was like HOW DOES THIS COMMENTER KNOW WHERE I LIVE. Because as wonderful as she is, that was freaky to me. Then I was like “oh, right.”

Yours looks great too, shaminey! I hope this starts a trend of posting teaspoon necklace photos.
fillyjonk, that really is funny. Receiving a package unbidden from a commenter would be sort of startling.

I actually had no idea that you ordered one because I don’t even know your real name! So, anonymity is maintained!!!

Gosh. You guys are so happy. It makes me wonder if the spoon has some purpose other than purely symbolic? Whatevs.

I totally got my earrings yesterday, and was confused as all hell that this person whose name I didn’t recognize was sending me something.
Then I opened the card and inside was happiness and awesomeness in earring form :)

How about earring pictures? I am going to get the earrings after I get paid.
