Hey Chicago, things are about to get rough. Here’s something you can do to make a difference: Join Pots to the People on September 13th for our inaugural sale, “Seconds for the First Amendment”
100% of the proceeds go to the ACLU, who keep fighting this shit every single day.

I started a little grassroots movement in the ceramics community. Check out “Pots to the People” on Instagram to see how potters are showing up for civil rights! First event is Sept 13th in Chicago!

Also important to note that the estimates that place trans people at 1.3 million are rather old, from the Williams Institute, which did good work at the time mind you.

Latest Gallup poll shows 1.3% of people now identify as trans, which would be over 4 million people!

Yesterday’s emergency rally in Chicago. Just keep showing up!

So very sorry for your loss my friend

Chicago: if you’re feeling like your elected reps aren’t doing enough, I get it. Here’s something YOU can do. It will harness that agitation you’re wrestling with and you will feel energized and part of something greater. Because you are. Come join me!

Who has suggested action? Any leads? Im in!!

Big crowd at Federal Plaza, and an unofficial March to Trump Tower. They asked if anyone had anything to say. I grabbed the bullhorn.

If you’re wondering when it will be time to grab the bullhorn: Now. The time is now.

It’s near impossible to post pot pictures. I’m consumed with the dismantling of our government. Here’s a pic of our gorgeous brand new soda kiln which is having its inaugural firing today. But I’ll be at Federal Plaza in Chicago making some noise in front of our Senators’ offices.

Hey Chicago: We have a voice. Here’s an opportunity to use it. See you Wednesday!

Please, everyone, drop what you’re doing and read this:

Totally agree and I’m glad you said the words. I want to post when I have something to share, not because the IG overlord demands it . But I can’t quite figure out how to make this place scratch the same itch though…

😴💤🛌

I do like the stormy ones…😏

Ohhhh thats good living. Or so I’ve heard. My dog will have none of that 😩

I called these “Blue Wave”mugs, back when hope for a Blue Wave was still growing. But there’s room for this design yet. What if you started each morning with empathy as deep as the ocean, and waves churning your next big idea toward shore? #pottery

My paralysis in a nutshell. Thanks for the generous nudge.

Do I Dare Disturb My Doomscrolling? Part of the feeling of helplessness right now is this idea that you don’t know some big thing you can do. But why would you expect that from yourself? Do something every day. That can be some…

"Your job is to do something small but measurable every day that ensures you are not the one being moved off your norms, that ensures you are connecting to community around you."

Well I for one am happy to hear your voice here! I aspire to shutting it all down, but there are a handful of neighborhood groups I depend on. I hope Bluesky comes up with something similar.
