Moonbean in Kensington used to have super tasty ones & I got them often when I worked on Spadina. These look amazing 🤩

Looooooooooooooooong boi

If the sea wants you, the sea wants you, y’know??

Will do! If you DM me your email, or email me at jbbartram at gmail dot com, I can send them that way 😊

Yes!! More ravens are on their way!! (If you still want one, I’m happy to send photos & reserve one for you when they’re done!)

A box of bone dry snats (snail cats) made from white, brown, and black clay

My desk covered in the snats (and some owls in a clementine box). I’m underglazing their eyeballs pre-bisque fire

The bone dry creatures & vessels in a plastic box ready to head to the kiln. The black clay raven at the front looks like it wants out

Another plastic box of bone dry ceramics, featuring toads with mushroom hats who would also like out please

Just unloaded the kiln & now have SO many Little Guys to glaze (but first, one more quick batch of mugs for a second, smaller bisque fire, because I’m trying to figure out a good production schedule now that I’m doing markets!!!!!!!! Agh!!!).

Also it is SUNNY and 4 DEGREES CELSIUS and I GOT AN ICED COFFEE TODAY!!!!!!!!! It gets cold again tonight, but I was having the best time not wearing a coat and basking in the sunshine!!!!!!!

A plate with two onigiri wrapped in cellophane w/cute cartoon characters on it, sunny yellow pickled radishes, and marinated potato chunks

Cute onigiri part one, feat three little onigiri with cartoon faces

Cute onigiri part two: one onigiri with a fish egg hat

Saturday jaunt to Merivale = picking up some lunch from OK Mart & getting the most adorable onigiri (tho I missed the nori — they were out of that version 🥲) & perfect marinated potato & pickled radish banchan 👍👍👍

Heroic Chicago trans comedian recalls saving infant from ice-cold Lake Michigan: ‘I guess I’m going in’ “The most important part of this entire story is that the baby is okay,” Lio Cundiff told The Advocate.

“It’s weird,” he said. “I just did something that I would think anyone would do. What do you mean you would watch a stroller and a baby just sink?”

Hard same (I made…so many clay things this week & my brain & hands are TOAST)

Ha! I also love OLP, especially Happiness is not a fish you can catch!

Yessssssss

I loooved (& still love, when I hear them!!) Savage Garden. Gotta put them on some of my playlists.

Let's see if we can raise $10,000 today for red state or national queer orgs. Post proof here in the replies that you donated to a red state or national queer organization and I will share.

Who's with me?

(I can't donate myself because I'm a journalist who covers these orgs)

I don’t remember that one, but I believe you 😂

I hardly remember anything about that show, but this immediately reminded me how weird the club is!! A vivid image of the Bad Vibes!!

6 mugs in one image. The first on the top left is blue and has a cat as a handle! The next to the right is intergalactic themed. To the right (and last in the top row) is a brown and blue mug called Spring Moss. In the bottom row, is a blue, red and brown mug with dotted clay. In the middle is another brown and blue mug with a more delicate handle. On the bottom right is a delightfully purple mug made of porcelain.

New mugs are heading into the kiln soon 🔥

To make room, most of the remaining mugs are now $65, shipping included.

If one’s been calling your name, this might be the moment to bring it home.

And if not, a share always helps. 🙏

Yesssssss

Eugh yeah, I get it! I’m still weirdly tough, but can’t imagine rewatching some of the stuff I used to (eg season one of Broadchurch?!)

It’s technically a good movie (well made, incredible cast), but MAN it got to me!!!

Quills. I bought it from the Blockbuster $6 movie box, watched it once & immediately donated it because I had to get it out of my house due to the way it made me so sad.

Mine is Quills. BIG oof.

I’m like that with Fawlty Towers!!!! I can watch one ep & then I am OUT (haven’t seen Brit-Office or Curb, but based on what I know, it would get me the same way)

I’m on a Most Tense Train in the world 😂😂😂

A wall screen at a train station showing a headline about Crosby not playing the gold medal game

Sorry, follow-up (at Toronto’s union station).

(Also I’m scared to try the filet o’fish, my other childhood fav)

I didn’t have chicken nugs from McD’s for ages & assumed they’d still hit like they did when I was a kid, but tragically the last time I had them (a few years ago) they were atrocious 😭 don’t know if I just got a dud batch, but mannnnnnnn (fries are still good tho!)

thinking abouit how in korean traditional theater there is a monster called yeongno which eats rich people and if it eats 100 of them it gets to go to heaven (I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well and I can't explain what it looks like, sort of like an anteater) Like can we summon this m quasi-normalcy replies - go little fellow!

I believe in you, little guy

I’m watching on my phone at Union Station (along with half the people waiting for trains near me)!! Their servers are doing heavy work & we love them for it!!
