This raku piece 'Hera's Heart' reminds us of loves complexities this Valentine's Day.

Hera’s heart, in flames entwined,
Emerald and copper, power combined.
A queen unyielding, bold and strong,
Of passion, trials, and love’s song.
Cracked by flame, but never torn,
A goddess crowned, in fire reborn.

All they can put in your way is bureaucracy, annoyance, and the false impression that more people hate you than actually do. Your body and soul and self are yours.

Trans people threw the first brick at Stonewall. Now, the Trump administration is trying to write us out of that history. We will not let them.

I've known shitposters, on boards you people will never see, I've been BBS and back...dial-up! I've heard downloads screech their shame on a 100 baud modem on a Commodore 64 on a stack of milk crates with sweat in my eyes watching sbootleg anime dubs on VHS

Overheard this really loud conversation while walking into a crowded Bay station:

Dude 2: Uhh..

Woman: Can I try hitting you now to see what happens?

I’ve turned the corner from crank to eccentric. I work alone and outside. I talk to owls. The dogs see me as an equal. My hair and beard are a poorly executed 17th-century woodcut and the people I don’t hiss at suffer my stories about things I’ve found in the wrack line until their eyes glaze over
