My latest piece, Raku fired. I will put her in one of my ceramic boats so she can continue her journey. You can probably tell that I’m very interested in dolls and ancient ceramics.

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church,
I keep it staying at Home -
With a bobolink for a Chorister,
And an Orchard, for a Dome.

~ Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

NEWS: 16 MILLION people will lose health care because of the GOP’s Big Beautiful Betrayal. Millions of children, seniors, people with disabilities, and working families will lose their health care. Outrageous.

When @bradtakei.bsky.social and I first got together, we never imagined we’d one day celebrate Pride openly, let alone post about it on the internet. But here we are, joy and all. Happy Pride, everyone! Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and marching forward (glitter optional, but encouraged). 🌈✨

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this?

Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

Update: I have to keep telling children that I’m not the Dogman guy.
In case you want some sweet news today.

I’m volunteering at the book fair at my kid’s school, and discovered Dav Pilkey paid for the whole thing.

For the entire school.

Every kid pre-k through fifth grade (the whole school) goes home with two free books.
