Since I’ve been reminded that biphobia is alive and well, I just want to brag about my bisexual husband.

He’s the kindest, most thoughtful, most creative man I’ve ever met. He cooks for me. He makes sourdough. He makes the most beautiful ceramics that I get to eat and drink from every day.

A handmade ceramic mug. It is roughly cylindrical and bellies out in a soft curve near the bottom, with a mouth that flares out slightly. It has a beautifully arched handle with a spot to rest your thumb. The mug is a dark blue color at the base, with a blue and white pattern that looks like choppy or icy water near the top. A mug of a similar shape. This mug has a beautiful light blueish green glaze drips down and stops just before the base of the mug, exposing a raw whiteish clay at the base. There are two distinct drips of glaze that have solidified looking like a set of dull canine teeth.

Some wins from Maine:
Question 1, an attempt at voter suppression, was strongly rejected.
Question 2, the start of some common sense gun laws, passes by a similar margin.

This is what happens when we turn out. This is exactly what they were trying to suppress.

This little message at the end of Hollow Knight 🥺

I know I’m almost 9 years late but I’ve been so engrossed in this game for the past couple weeks. I absolutely loved it.
Thanks for everything @teamcherry.bsky.social

While everyone is paying attention to Maine politics, I’d like to remind my fellow Mainers to get out and vote on (or before) Nov 4.

Vote NO on 1!

Question 1 is “solving” a problem that doesn’t exist and stripping thousands of Mainers of their rights.
A snippet from the Maine.gov website with the following text: QUESTION 1: "Do you want to change Maine election laws to eliminate two days of absentee voting, prohibit requests for absentee ballots by phone or family members, end ongoing absentee voter status for seniors and people with disabilities, ban prepaid postage on absentee ballot return envelopes, limit the number of drop boxes, require voters to show certain photo ID before voting, and make other changes to our elections?"

Finishing the White Palace may be my proudest gaming achievement. I am ✨not good✨ at platformers, so it took me forever.

Guess I have to stop putting off the final boss 😅

Applying for a marriage license and I was NOT expecting this 💀
A line from the marriage license form that says “First cousins are required by law to obtain a certificate of genetic counseling by a physician. Are you first cousins?”

Y’all have those songs that just always get a repeat?

Please excuse my garbo photos from what we dubbed the “30+ section” - I did not prioritize taking photos.

I had so much fun seeing Ateez! Driving in NYC and paying $20 for a spiked Arnold Palmer was absolutely worth it (ok, maybe not the drink, but still).

This is who runs this account
A picture of a very unhappy child who is about 2 years old. Her face is patchy red and streaked with tears. She has a binky half hanging out of her mouth as she looks defiantly at the camera with bright blue eyes.

Instagram already saw it but look at this impracticality small cup I made. I’m so happy with it. I love the blues and greens.

#ceramics #pottery #handmade
A small (6oz) ceramic cup with no handle. The cup is black at the top rim, fading to a textured blue color, then to a light grassy-green color. The inside of the same cup. The top is black, fading into the blue and subtle green. The inner base of the cup is black, with inconsistent lines around the edge where the green and blue glazes flowed towards the center and stopped.

My headphones have clay debris all over them, which is super normal at the pottery studio, but makes me look like a sloppy disgusting garbage person at my grown-up job.

Me in October: maybe I’ll get a birdfeeder. The cats will like it.

Me now:

Good morning! I can’t stop thinking about these glaze combos.
There’s definitely room for improvement, but I’m really happy with how they came out as a first try.

Glazes by yours truly

#pottery #ceramics #handmade
A handmade vase with blue, black and white glaze patterns. The top of the vase flares out, and has a black rim that fades quickly into blue and then into a greyish blue. The vase tapers in, as the glaze fades to a light greyish band. The band ends abruptly in soft waves, as the vase flares out abruptly? where it meets a bright, marbled blue color. It again tapers slightly down to the base. The marbled blue fades to a lighter marbled blue, and then the same grey as the top, as it travels down the base. The inside of a large bowl. The bowl has a blueish grey ripple pattern around the top, before coming to a wavey stop where it meets a darker blue glaze, that blends again into a greyish glaze. The greyish glaze has a distinct, gently waving boarder with a silky black glaze at the center. A similar glaze pattern as the previous photo, only on the outside of the same bowl. Black fades to blue, which fades to a speckled grey and another thin line of light blue, followed by dark black and but marbling, which fades to a soft grey.

They’re on a date

Threw on the wheel for the first time today. It was definitely challenging but I ended up with a couple decent shapes.

Respectfully, what the f u c k is happening over on Instagram
A picture of Instagram’s chat with AI feature. It shows two accounts. One with the caption “proud new convert to Islam! I’m so excited to have formally… “ and the name Aisha Azizah, under the AI picture of a white girl with blonde hair hanging out of a teal blue hijab. The next suggestion has a picture of a plain white cup and is titled “cup”

My dumb baby boy does this, too. He is also a former street cat, so maybe there’s a correlation.

(He has PLENTY of clean water available)

My partner and I recently discovered that we can directly vacuum his cat and she loves it.

My watercolor palette came out of the glaze kiln.

LOOK AT IT!
I love it

#handbuilding #ceramics
A picture of a handmade ceramic watercolor palette. It is an organic, roundish shape with wells of varying size and shape (all of which have curved walls). The clay is a light tan, with a glossy white glaze over it. The texture of the clay can be seen slightly through the glaze, giving it a subtle speckled appearance Another view of the same palette, this time from the side. This view accentuates the contrast between the glazed and unglazed parts, as well as two small divots in the side of the palette to rest brushes
