#auctioned — Public Fediverse posts

Super excited that the first half of my plan for this #sculpture is coming to fruition. #Pilchuck accepted it to be auctioned. I bent a second, backup copy of the neon before cavity packing both of them in filleted upholstery foam and building a box in a box -yeah, I used to be an #art handler :)

I particularly enjoyed the moment of writing #NYC and #Seattle arrows pointing to each pattern before slicing them in half with the sharp edge of a broken tube. The Sun pattern will go with the sun- the two will (probably) never be re-united again :) - except by internet blinky signals between the two

Sun half will be #auctioned to support a non profit #glass school with a lyric from a song that came out the same year as the school's founding- over 50 years ago. Cultural recycling.

Coming in at over $850, UPS was too expensive. NTG freight will *hopefully save me a pile of monies. The #mirror box is another big box inside of box.

Hopefully it makes it the journey.

Inside #USAID Fire Sale. Around the world, defibrillators, motorbikes, and water towers are being donated, sold, or simply abandoned. Federal, humanitarian workers have scrambled​​ to run mass closeout before their own termination or their project’s #bankruptcy, with little guidance from leadership at USAID or State Depart. Result is millions of $ worth of equipment that US has already purchased is being #auctioned off, likely at an extreme #loss, or simply #abandoned https://archive.is/Hc3or

A written order is expected later today, and a trustee could take over control of #AlexJones’ personal estate within hours. #Liquidation means Jones' personal belongings — from his #gun collection to his jewelry — will be #auctioned to the highest bidder in something of a fire sale. He could even lose access to his account on X, where he currently has 2.3M followers. However, #Texas #law allows him to keep his home, worth >$2M.

Yes it would!
Only if it's global (since supply chains are global), and fees taken at the wellhead.

I personally prefer the writing of #carbon #emissions permits, with a hard cap on the number of #permits and the cap decreasing every year, and the permits #auctioned to the highest bidder. The interesting discussion would be around how the proceeds are spent.

My proposal (older blog post, but I stand by the idea).
