The Empty Chair in the Oval Office | Katelyn Burns Get more from Katelyn Burns on Patreon

For my Sunday Patreon column, I asked a question that has been bouncing around in my head for awhile:

Is Donald Trump actually the president?

Here I make the case that he's no more than a political marionette, his strings getting pulled by his biggest campaign donor www.patreon.com/posts/empty-...

"Pornography" is a dog-whistle, same as "DEI" and "woke" — a pretext for broad censorship and repression of issues related sex and gender.

Unfortunately, too many on the left take it at face value ... and distance themselves from fights. We need much broader awareness and our allies to fight back.

My loves

10 fairly regular fresh clay cylinders

I am exhausted. My life has been hit once again with a curve ball made of excrement. I don’t know how much cope I have left.

But I have made 100 cylinders now. So that’s nice?

Lovely!

Books are sexy!

A mix of fresh clay cylinders, some well made and some messy

Tired me, tired clay, a real struggle getting these to work. Though happy with the consistency of the first 4. Feel like I’ve only just started to understand how to throw 😂🤦🏻 90/100

10 fresh clay cylinders all of fairly equal width and height!

80/100 Much better today! And bought myself a throwing gauge to help with consistency! Noticing my clay is getting a bit soft and tired though

10 inconsistent fresh clay cylinders

Absolute carnage today. A few consistent pots but overall bad show 🤦🏻 70/100

listen, we gotta live. we have to outlast them. we have to turn their graves into trans inclusive toilets.

10 equally sized fresh clay cylinders

Smashed it! 60/100!

50/100! Tired after a morning at work so not wild about the results but time well spent

10 freshly made clay cylinders

40/100! Nolonger needing to use a rib to get a straight form!

13 and 10 thrown on Monday and Wednesday 30/100! I can already see progress🥰

7 roughly made fresh clay cylinders in a row

Pottery has been my big time coping mechanism the last few years. Doing a 10min cylinder challenge - gonna see how long it takes to do 100

The Robbie Williams is a chimp film was fucking banger!

♥️

Not going to lie, this is the stuff that brings me joy.

Why yeeeeeeees my good sir

Fancy coffee out of a cup I made

Hot chocolate bowls for family Christmas

Feeling blessed my coping mechanism for intense emotional trauma is skill learning - cause now I get cool bowls along with being unstable #beginnerpotter

Former Amazon worker here; do not cross this picket line. Don't do it. Don't even order from them (unless absolutely necessary). They're a disgusting company to work for and the reason for my knee problems that required years of physical therapy.

Fuck Amazon. We stand with the workers! 👊🏻✨

Revamping a profile pic from about 15 years ago. Weird and nice to see how me and my art have changed (improved)

Yeah - don’t worry about it then 😅 those are all of my criticisms, but I really enjoy the music and animation 🤷🏻

The writing isn’t the best, but like… the animation! The animation!

IT’S A GREAT GAME!

Yeah, you are definitely the dragon of unconventional sweet flavours
