I don't even have a witty thing to say about this one, it's just got me mad as fuck.

Sending some fun things to the kiln tonight! I'm experimenting with new shapes and forms.

Every time I see a Tesla truck I quote this hopecore video and laugh so hard

Cybertrucks are cylons

No I will not be elaborating

"Bury our friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and dance all night."

So much to learn from generations before us who were also resisting hostile and fascist governments. I'm listening to movement elders for advice on how to live in these times. #AIDS #QueerHistory

Burnishing is such a commitment but damn if it doesn't make a pot look good. 🤩

(Burnishing is a way to prepare a piece of ceramics before it's fired for the first time by smoothing the surface with rocks or other tools, which creates a shiny, polished surface)

For my birthday I asked my artist friends to make me some art. This is the 40 Fucks for 40th Birthday journal, and I love it. Glorious work.

It reminds me of the "all these fucks are mine" cartoon from maybe a decade ago. None of these are to give away.

This week I signed up for my third raku experience & I can't wait to try out some new techniques. I'm going to make a raku-un, which I did for a previous raku workshop. This time, the raku-un will be in a trash can. And I'm hoping to hand build some organic vase shapes. #pottery #ceramics

There are plenty of good visuals for it, this one covering Zuckerberg's wealth is among my current favorites.

Starting 2025 with some big creative goals (no resolutions, no thank you).

Last year I accomplished many of my creative goals and I'm ready to roll up to these new possibilities. #WritingCommunity

Even as a person of Irish descent in the US, with little cultural ties to Ireland, I'm loud about my heritage. The Irish government and Irish people have been on the right side of history about Palestine, and it makes me so proud my ancestors are from there.

The algorithm is working! I have a deep love of Death Valley that no one else has been able to match. I even wrote a poem about an experience I had there during a breakup, and Auvert Magazine published it!

Some cat content for your Wednesday evening:

Our cat has finally learned to use the treat enrichment fish toy we got him last month. Now he whines multiple times a day that the treats are gone. He's the best. #CatPics

Well the earthquake this morning in California didn't get me any closer to bingo. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm in love with this jewel tone rainbow keffiyeh from the Palestine Soap Co-op, which was made in the occupied West Bank. I can also recommend the almond nablus soap! #FreePalestine
