I wonder if this is why my Senator @markwarner.bsky.social has gone on Fox News to talk about why polite adherence to tradition is more important than the lives of trans people, Federal workers, and the people of America who are about to experience years of insecurity and death.

Cranky GenX Elder Queer here: Remember that trans people are normal, rare, and desirable. Pic because I love this piece and show it off at every opportunity.

This is part of my Fire and Earth series. I use black clay and strongly pigmented glazes that break well to create the contrasts of color, texture, and shine that define this series to me. Also dragons are cool. #pottery #potterywheelthrown #lgbtqartist

This is my rad friend Sam! He makes really cool games and his newest game is about sad dead pirates. This is the sad dead pirate Kickstarter and it's almost funded. Come help out!

Teapots teapots I love teapots. I never fall in love with anything until it comes out of the glaze kiln, but the UST is strong this one. #pottery #lgbtqartist #potteryteapots

I left my photo tent up yesterday. Jazal, today's studio assistant, loves the photo tent. What studio amenities do y'all's studio assistants love unreasonably? #catsofbluesky #potterypets #bengalcats

I am a stoneware potter. I love how textured and solid it is, I love how it throws, I love everything about it. But sometimes I need something different. Sometimes I need danger and thrills. Sometimes I throw translucent porcelain. #pottery #potteryporcelain #lgbtqartist

Hello, your small grumpy lawyer friend here to tell you to SHUT THE FUCK UP. Do NOT talk to cops.

Moar teapots! I throw my spouts off the hump, so I always make a little bowl with the clay left over.

Working on teapots today! Making all the parts and then putting them together is really meditative for me.

Faceting agateware today. I have been recording my process from clay to finished piece for this batch of agateware, with plans to edit together a video, so I've been forgetting to keep y'all updated. Mea culpa, but I'll make it up to you. #pottery #potteryagateware #pottersofbluesky

I have been having a lot of feelings about the US recently, and I wanted to share some of my thoughts We have a government that is engaging in mass deportations. Word of ICE raids has become all too common, with both specifics and general information about them reaching people via social media.

Glaze kiln today. I have a lot of bisque and greenware piled up from the snowstorms, so I am trying to catch up whenever I get a chance. My kiln is in an unheated garage and I keep forgetting to bring a space heater so it was a chilly day. Hot tea helped, but it was nice to get home.

Happy Imbolc, everyone! This is one of my favorite holidays, all about art and fire and the wheel of the year turning to hope from winter. I unloaded a glaze kiln this morning, put in a bisque kiln, and worked on the new batch of Trash Animal mugs. This chalice came out this morning, enjoy!

Yeah, this is a pretty batch of agateware! Deciding which ones to facet and which ones to leave just swirled is going to be hard. #pottery #potteryagateware #potterywheelthrown #lgbtartist
