The US govt is now shutdown, Republicans keep illegally dismantling basic services while Dems host pressers and send angry letters.

Our leaders have failed us and we need a new approach.

The Moonlight Movement is organizing a fresh creative strategy to fight back, but we need your help, a thread ➡️

We were trying to get into Peacemaker. There were two chutes of people in front of us at 3:40 and the panel started at 3:30 so we called it and left 😔

Huge number of people left hall H after the Ryan Gosling panel and they haven’t let any of the ADA line in. They said they’re actively looking for seats but can’t find any. Absolute bullshit. We’ve waited 5+ hours for this panel and will miss it 😓

In LA for a few days then heading to San Diego for SDCC! I’m so excited to go back 💖

Five rows of small plaster townhouses laid on a dark wood table. There’s three different versions of townhouse and two copies of each. Each row has differing levels of detail and air bubbles in the plaster.

I wrote a pretty long IG post about what worked & what didn’t in making these from silicone molds & my results were: spray Windex on the silicone & pour plaster while Windex is still damp. Tap/shake molds vigorously for 2-3 minutes until air bubbles stop rising to the surface.

Three rows of small plaster row houses in three different varieties. There are four of each laying on a paper towel.

Wow hey Bsky it’s been a while and I’ve done 3 soda firings and taken a mold making class this year. Most recently I’ve been working on making molds of these little row houses but trying to get a good cast from the silicone before I make the mold for slip casting.

YES. If you mask everywhere- or at least in the most crowded places that people cannot avoid, like stores- then it places masks in the category of Everyday Clothing. It makes it SO much harder to ban when at least a decent chunk of people wear them.

Cone 6 soda fired results! A few bits of underglaze bubbles & flakes and the inside is a mess and will need to be refried with clear again. But I love the outside so much 😍

Did a nice transfer peel on this plate that will have my Manarola city design on the front.

This cup got accepted into a soda show so I had to send it out into the ether this week. Hoping it arrives safely and people enjoy seeing it in person at the show! This is the first show I’ve had my work in 🥹

I’m really excited about the little dragon hand hold on this cup. Going into the soda firing in a few weeks 🧡

My need for Oblivion Remastered is so strong but I’m in the middle of AC: Shadows

Got some gorgeous soda firing results back from the studio on my lunch break and can’t stop picking them up and looking at them. They’re all so different and interesting but this one is obviously my favorite 🧡

The FAA’s Troubles Are More Serious Than You Know The agency responsible for air safety is facing deep cuts and interference by Elon Musk.

Pay attention to this: Musk is trying to make our air traffic control system "dependent” on him by integrating his equipment, which has not gone through security and risk-management review.

It's corruption. And it's dangerous.

Fire Elon Musk.

Thank you! Yeah I’m leaning towards black underglaze or possibly electric blue

Bisqued Velaris wall piece - should the wash be black underglaze or red iron oxide? This is for a cone 6 soda firing next week.

Omg that’s so fun!! I’d love to go to a Flyers open practice if that’s a thing 👀 I’m pretty new to the hockey fandom only getting into it this past summer but it’s been so fun to go to a few games. And now I know we can watch warmups from front row I’m going to do that every time!

Please do

lol wtf

As an early birthday present to me, we went to see my two favorite hockey teams Flyers v. Kraken play and I got to watch warm-ups from the front row. SO fun to see the guys I’m usually watching on TV after 10pm EST up close and playing around. Also really fun to see the @seattlekraken.com win! 🦑

Eheheheh I don’t know her 😅

If you want to get a better measure of how many people in the US military or formerly in it will actually oppose Trump, get working on recruiting them to join this protest. #3E

Don't just guess, organize, and find out.
