I’m deeply, achingly ashamed of Gov Ayotte today. I’m sure she’s not ashamed of herself, but she should be. What an epic disappointment to the people of New Hampshire.
To my LGBTQ+ pals, I see you and I love you and no amount of misguided idiocy or full out hatred will stop that. I’m with you 💝

I really kinda miss the days before I learned all my favorite childhood flowers are horribly invasive and before I knew what knotweed is.

Psst! Psst! Hey…
so if you’re in a space where a mental health counselor feels comfortable enough to admit to being a MHC, you should never respond with any of the following:
-Oh! Want to fix me?
- Are you psychoanalyzing me right now?!
-any TMI story about you or your kids

Nothing super fancy because a return to the wheel after 20 years is, in fact, not just like riding a bike, but I’m pretty proud of the 8 weeks of skill growth here

It’s been 8hrs since a classmate brought politics into the sanctuary of the basement pottery studio class and I’m still cranky about it.
Those 4 hours underground on Wednesdays are my only real escape from reality and just… ugh.

Found my new litmus test for friendship- the facial expressions made when seeing this tote have told me volumes about people this week.
With that said- read banned books. Read queer authors. Read history and controversy. Read and wonder why someone would want you to not

Both of these planters didn’t survive the trimming process today 🙃 I know what happened, I know why it happened. I’m choosing to move on and try again and learn the lessons the clay wants to teach me.
Everything is shit, so I’m re-honing some skills I haven’t practiced in 20 years

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them.
Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

Blue state secession and a blanket refusal to pay federal taxes should be part of the discussion NOW.
If the fed is going to attempt to cripple blue states, blue states must FIGHT back.
Be bold, swift and blunt.
