Picked up my pots from the latest firing. I feel like I'm getting better at some of my forms. #noborigama #pottery #pottersofbluesky #wheelthrownpottery

We could use a new TV. I've been looking at Black Friday deals to see what's what. Every. Single. "Deal". Has been bullshit. As in "30% off! But don't check the price history or you'll see that it's *normally* 35% off and we actually *raised* the price!" No thanks. #Blackout #RetailHell

I'm proud to announce I've officially earned my CISSP certification! This is another step in my journey of continuous learning and staying current. Looking forward to connecting with others in the infosec community. #CISSP #Cybersecurity #InfoSec #ContinuousLearning #ProfessionalDevelopment

I was lucky enough to find a team at Jawncon that was willing to let me join so I could participate in my first CTF. I actually solved one of the puzzles and retrieved a flag so I wasn't complete dead weight! Our team got first place, too! #cybersecurity #ctf #challengecoin

🧵1/6 500 years under the Baltic Sea, the Gribshunden—King Hans of Denmark’s flagship—has been called the “Tudor warship of the North.” Recent finds reveal a time capsule of politics, power, and daily life at sea ⚓👑

While it's a very generous offer, I think I'm going to pass on the $2 steaks from the back of a truck parked in the hardware store parking lot. Call me paranoid, but I... have doubts about the quality and sanitation.

This big beautiful non-native bug is a growing pest for Northeast U.S. gardeners & esp wineries But a new study reveals an #agroecology answer: milkweed This monarch butterfly fave intercropped w/ grapes kills 60-80% in 24 hrs: projects.sare.org/sare_project... Might boost monarch numbers too?

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

oh my god someone slashed our tire

A classic hallmark of pseudoscience is when proponents reverse the burden of proof on skeptics to prove them wrong rather than having to provide evidence to support their own claims. Hitchens’s razor: What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

FUCK YEAH SCIENCE arstechnica.com/science/2025...

an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening

Got my two bowls back today. They had to be refired because of some pitting/cracking in the glaze on the bottom. I'm thrilled with how they came out! #pottery #ceramics

Did my second blind tasting of 4 IB Macduff bottlings last night (2 SMWS and 2 Dramfool). The wild divergence from my notes and scores compared to the first blind tasting for these bottles confirms my suspicion: I'm terrible at discerning tasting notes 😅 Also, Macduff is tasty. #whisky #scotch

My first attempt at coil-and-throw failed in several ways, not least of which was my not scoring the first coil layer deep enough. This led to a big crack during firing, so I decided to fake-kintsugi it with amethyst and galena pieces in epoxy. #pottery #pottersofbluesky #anagama #ceramics

This hand-built ceramic clock is my favorite of the pieces I made in my last ceramics class. No glaze was used. Just some slip for the accents and natural woodfire. #anagama #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #clocks

Terminology has an effect not just on how we communicate, but also how we learn. When we define terms based on a limited understanding (such as only seeing the effects of venom when we see obvious harm from a bite or sting), we need to be prepared to expand our definitions as our understanding grows

I'm finishing up my 8 week pottery class, and only came out with 6 pieces. My coil-and-throw attempt failed partway through, and my first mug crached while drying. But I managed to throw porcelain, and learned a bunch of new techniques, so it was a win. Wish I didn't have to miss the next session...

Getting sucked into a debate with a local white nationalist cult leader was not on my bingo card for tonight. I tried. I'm not sure why I tried, but I did. I got him to agree with a few points, but then it seemed he realized that we were talking, not fighting, and he did not like that.

My phone bricked itself two days ago. I'm waiting on the replacement. In the meantime, withdrawal is real! Sure, I can doom scroll on my laptop, but not having MFA access, or the ability to make or receive phone calls, feels absolutely crippling.

Beautiful salty goodness!

Accurate

Last night I spent the whole class finishing two of my bowls (there was a LOT of material to remove!). Played around with textures and chattering, plus tried out some underglaze. Can't wait to see how these look after the soda fire! #pottery #potteryofbluesky #ceramics

Sewing is harder than I expected. Some is technique, and some is the pattern instructions. They read like a foreign language (sewing has its own entire lexicon that I'm still learning) and the steps described are deeply unintuitive to me. Still having fun though! #sewing

We rescued Vlad and his brother almost a year ago. Vlad didn't trust us at first. He would run and hide when we came near him. In the past two months he's started letting me pet him and even asks for chin scratches. Seeing him finally feel comfortable around us is so gratifying! #rescuecats #cats

Achievement: Nerd Narcissism in the Third Dimension. Some people like to cosplay. Some people like to collect action figures. However, turning your cosplay into an action figure of... yourself *may* be crossing a line. No regerts from me, though. I love this. #DungeonCrawlerCarl #cosplay #3DPrint

Second class of my second 8 week ceramics course. Tried using the white clay for the first time, which is supposed to be much less forgiving than the red clay I used last class and all of the previous course. Very pleased with my progress! #pottery #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #potterywheel
