GenZ teens shout "EEWWW" at you when you drive by.

Glazing has long been really challenging for me. I can get too excited about a glaze and then suddenly I have 40 thousand of them. The actual decorating/glazing part can feel overwhelming though. Hang in there!

My favorite stage.

I love this plan!

This fuzz-face is going to be 6 this year! First two pics were baby Pixie, probably 3-6 months old, and last two are today.

We need fearless leaders with spines of steel and hearts of gold.

Universal Healthcare and Childcare as human rights. A moratorium on AI so reasonable regulations can be made.

Defund Israel. Abolish ICE. Demilitarize the police.

Just to start.

I will not vote for anyone getting AIPAC money.

I will not vote for anyone over the age of 67.

I will not vote for anyone who seeks to re-gain or maintain the status quo.

Closeups of the new pieces!

I’m going to ride this flaming pony of a year to success & prosperity & I hope U do too!
I am making some pieces w/ new patterns & textures to capture the energy of imagination & creativity. These 4 pcs will be finished in my current making cycle & we’ll check them out & see what we like best soon!!

Before we get our scheduled 16 inches of snow

The final phase.

‘They always gave us the heaviest work’: how Maga billionaires relied on Mexican labor Trump administration seeks to remove ‘illegal aliens’ but Uline’s past employment practices reveal a different reality

For anyone who is a creative who ships their work, in case you didn't know. Boycott Uline:

I really wish postage was cheaper between our countries...

Happy to report that I had a similar experience with the second load this cycle. Thanks!

And just like that!

But really, the full glaze kiln load cycle is around 28-30 hours when it’s this packed from lid closed to lid open and I don’t even wait for it to get to room temp.

Happy Blessed Imbolc!
Today would be my Gran’s 107th birthday. Also is the anniversary of the death of my favorite outlaw ( my MIL’s longtime partner, they never got married.) It always tickled Tom to be called that.
Weird, bittersweet day. I’m happy to be heading toward spring tho.

Hmmmm. Glaze kiln took two hours longer than last time. Granted, I bought two more levels worth of shelves (& I should’ve gotten 3) so there’s definitely more work in there than last time, so hopefully it doesn’t mean my elements are starting to fail.

A red hat, inspired by a symbol of resistance to Nazi occupation, gains traction in Minnesota A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant commu...

I love this.

I think that the regime has forgotten how much "FUCK you, you can't tell me what to do" lives in the DNA of Americans. People are feeling that wake up inside of themselves. I don't always like us, but we can be real pains in the ass, and I do love that about us.

Today would be a good day to hold Pam Bondi in contempt of congress. #releasetheepsteinfiles

Amid lawsuits and protests, Trump sends border czar to Minnesota Border czar Tom Homan will be heading to Minnesota, while Gregory Bovino, the bombastic and controversial Border Patrol chief leading the surge, will soon leave the state.

Because the guy who took a $50K bribe is a better option than GI N@zi?

Today would be a good day to impeach Kristi Noem.

Um, don't they know that Palantir are the bad guys? Like the really real, dark back alley boogeyman bad guys??

TikTok would not let this video be seen today.

Today would be a good day to tear down the Regime. It is time for a country wide #GeneralStrike

Today would be a good day for the Dems to start acting like an opposition party not helpless ninnys.

Today would be a good day for the Dems to stop acting like the status quo has any value.
