Ugh. If you have sensory issues, never put matte glaze on the inside of a bowl you plan to eat ice cream (or any other spoon scraping meal) out of.

She’s so purty

Feels like such a gen x nerd rite of passage to swoon when Linnell looks at the camera while singing.

Also the “why is my water not on, mother??”

And the answer is always yes

Dear Mr. Musk, What we found out is that each one of us is 1. a brain 2. and an athlete 3. and a basket case 4. a princess 5. and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

Enjoy my little dingus.

Well that’s far more hardcore than I was expecting @tmbg.bsky.social . Coraline the tortie approves.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Sucked at throwing tonight. Apparently I forgot how to be a potter.

I have today off and I’m supposed to be cleaning but mostly I’m just staring into the void and trying not to go insane.

Love living with a constant knot in my gut. It’s super great.

Going out on top (of a festering tower of flaming maggots he himself both built and set on fire)!

Not enough people realize there’s a plus button down there to make your multiple part posts at once! It’s super convenient! I see so many people write posts that are clearly intended to continue and you’re just waiting for them to finish typing the next parts, like they’re buffering. 😆

Week 6: Kitties! Including bonus kitty shoes on Tuesday and a kitty necklace today.

Beautiful work!

I really need to get around to glazing soon so I can get into the next gas kiln load they do at the studio. Because boy howdy do I need a hit of that “I did things! They’re pretty!” dopamine from finished pots to fight off the darkness.

no more breaking news, put it back together

Often the me that tries on and buys shoes and the me who wears the shoes are very different people. And I kinda hate that try-and-buy bitch.

Of course we lose power two days after the ice storm when it’s doing nothing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Because I am 12, I am highly amused that a hotel we booked for a trip is on a “Sharts Drive”.

Muting “sims” to make the pottery feed less obnoxious for now! 😀

Feeling super comfortable about flying next month. 😬

Good thing garbage night was last night so we found out the garage door was frozen shut then and Jim could dislodge it rather than me finding it out this morning when trying to go to the office. 😂

This cat on my dress is angry at me.

I’ve had multiple people now tell me that GPS is bad because nobody learns to navigate, and as a person who substantially predated GPS, excuse you, it is so nice not driving in circles for hours.

Look at your ridiculous paws, woman. Nobody needs that many toes.
