It's time to get in the streets and make yourself heard. Saturday, be there.

"Never 51"

Deporting someone because they used sign language for I love you and calling it a gang sign.... Again, I'd like to thank everyone who "loves" my deaf son and still voted for this. You're the real MVP. Most Victimized Person. Poor you. Good thing everything is cheaper though, right? Right?

My son and I would like to thank everyone we know who voted for this- his transportation is provided by federal grants because there is ONE school in Ohio that will teach him speech and asl. Our only other option is private school he would have to live at and I would have to pay out of pocket.

Worried about selling your Tesla? Worry no more! stealmytesla.com

Keeping busy.

Brass rods- perfect for plant stakes. I adore this tulip design. I can't wait to do more! What colors should I do next? #stainedglass #art #flowers

Combining two things I love- cats(especially Potato), and stained glass. Cats, inspiring art since cats.

Some color on this gross day

"Its been a few weeks... Let me just dip my toes back in"

Went to a cool toy store yesterday and they had a giant dinosaur. The dinosaur had a butthole. Obviously I had to take a photo, as the adult leading around three teenagers in public. Weird moms build character.

I found a stained glass supply store and I think I found heaven. They had crates on crates of VanGogh glass, neons, 4 foot slabs even! They had patterned glass, beveled glass, fusing glass, and every supply I've ever needed, plus some I had no clue existed. I am SO stoked to go back!

For a few hours yesterday my son and I lost our insurance. For a few hours yesterday, my son lost his education. My son is deaf and there is one school in the state that teaches ASL with English. I could send him to an expensive private school but he would live there for 5 days a week.

Just casually reading some local history.

My oldest teen started his first job today and he made his first tip. He excitedly proclaimed "I made five dubloons!" The kids are alright. 🥹🏴‍☠️

Attn: Tesla drivers

No answer as to why my lymph node is swollen, but my blood tests came back normal! I'm anemic and looking at my charts it looks like I've BEEN anemic since last year and nobody told me, but hey! It's not cancer!

Trying to take pictures of my new glasses to send to my mom when my partner jumps in. Almost 7 years together, 7 years of learning sign for my deaf son, 7 years of being there for me through chronic illness, 7 years of never faltering as my rock. I love this man so much.

Noticed a weird lump in my neck Tuesday, by Wednesday I was drained of all energy. Today I get to go have bloodwork done to rule out cancer. Did yall know swollen lymph nodes, exhaustion, and night sweats are all symptoms of Lymphoma? Neither did I, but now you know.

Mountains of cocaine make you fuck yo buddy.

I get these weird food fixations where I only want THAT food. My favorite vending machine chips are unavailable in stores and on the manufacturers website. Did I buy a bulk order off of Amazon? Absolutely. I also ate at least 26 Minute rice cups this week, plus a whole bottle of soy sauce. 🙃

My health is not healthing again, so here are some flowers I made to distract myself. I hope this helps anyone else needing a distraction.

Don’t be glum about the long, cold winter. Look around: the trees are busy, not sleeping. When the temperature permits, cells in this bud are dividing, maturing into flowers, leaves, stems. The cambium, maker of all the trees, is preparing for its spring festivities. Be like a tree: keep growing.

I'm an elder millennial, so Pluto is absolutely included.

Finished staining and waxing this piece today. My partner drew the design and I brought it to life, and I am obsessed with this color combination. I'd love some feedback, especially from other stained glass artists!

I listen to podcasts while I work on glass. Today, @thetraecrowder.bsky.social and @coreyrforrester.bsky.social got me through the most frustrating part of this piece. Then I realized, I'm a trash person who makes stained glass art. I AM the venn diagram. Love from Ohio, and sorry for JD.

I have never once willingly listened to Joe Rogan but for some reason, Spotify keeps autoplaying his show when my partner or I connect to a new device. And since everything is a fcking algorithm, it's screwed up my suggested podcasts. Yay, the digital age. 🙃

Hey, hi, it's me, I'm not trying to be a bother, but can we turn down the brightness on the snow? It's late and people are trying to sleep.

I don’t want to girl boss anymore. I want to spend 13 hours in Stardew Valley like a gremlin and ignore ✨everyone✨

Stained glass is like meditation for me. Designing the pattern, cutting the glass, grinding the edges, assembling a rudimentary puzzle and watching it transform into a work of art with a little soldering. All I want is to add color and joy to peoples lives.

#caturday contribution. Ham posing near the portrait I painted of her as a kitten- she grew into her ears but otherwise, same old Hambone.

Adding some stained glass to your feeds today

For my first post on this platform, I'd like to share a very important message- Muck Elon Fusk.
