Merry crimus from Taro (eating leftover bahn mi half with an egg for lunch)

Idk what intro to pottery student needs to hear this, but keep going… Left: last batch of mugs Right: somewhere between my first and second semester classes In other news, I made more mugs today 🥰

Good morning, gamers! My team be fighting bosses in Dark Souls 2 as a part of the Firekeeper's Deck the Bosses event tonight! I will probably sign on around 5pm to do housekeeping. Official event starts at 6pm. Come cheer us on!

UHHHHHH, I made a video... #ADHD 😑 youtu.be/JHZ4krylmvQ?...

I watched a friend kill yoga bug, so I had to make this... #silksong

I’m having a really difficult day today, and I just want one nice thing…

Okay my last update on these 5 mugs, I used a grinding pad on them. I know it takes off the reduction color on this clay, but I think it turned out kind of cool.

Fern has no survival instinct and half a brain cell. Found her sleeping in the open again this morning… #crestedgecko #derp

In a Silksong stream, I commented on how I felt so heartbroken and cried after defeating the "gay lovers" [Cogwork Dancers]. It is the best pair fight in the game, and it is devastatingly beautiful and sad The [cis] heterosexuals jumped in and started questioning their queerness... WHY??

Mark Rubio has declared that Calibri is too woke. Wait until he learns about Sans Serif as a category. Just out of control…

Aabstract and I are both super bad at selfies, but pretty good at photobooths 🖤🖤🖤

Everything I thought to be true was confirmed, and now I know it to be true: The shiny studio glazes run way more. They also contract more than most clays. I shouldn’t try to glaze only the outside anymore. Not everything was bad. Some things were unscathed. A painful but good experience…

Muscle mommy Shakra. POSHANKA

🥹🥹🥹 A very wide bowl—trying this shaped I think this was 5lbs of clay to start #pottery #ceramics

WTF was this #silksong

Living on the edge literally with this combo. Hope it doesn’t stick on the shelf. Both of these glazes run if you dip too long…

I got the Amaran pano 120c light. Here is some ugly freezer chicken. Taken on my iPhone and edited in Lightroom 💀💀💀

This flyer is amazing

Okay folks… it would be super lovely to hit 1k by the end of this year. There. I said it. 😭😭😭

Sometimes, I get on Returnal coop because I LOVE Returnal. My experience has been: - New players—chill - Players who are in biome 2, stuck on Ixion. FUCKING BABIES EVERY SINGLE ONE. Asks for carries. Rage quits if I refuse to fight Ixion for them after I revive them 3x. - Players past biome 2—chill

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

I still don’t know about these wrap-up things so posting pottery again. Mugs are dry and going into low-fire… i have some glaze ideas for these and I’m excited to see how they turn out

I think recaps are so awkward, but I will share this…

Hayyyyeveryone, we are officially team Dark Souls 2 for the Keepie Holiday Event!!!

Pottery update: 5lb bowls are trimmed and drying. Chawan that was too big to begin with exploded in the kiln. Sometimes this happens if I glaze a certain way. The glaze contracts the clay too much and it implodes—oh well. Pulled a bunch of handles…

We’ve been viewing a lot of art over the past week. I considered streaming tonight but I am going to lean into this effort of stopping, not doing, and spend my final night of vacation off (Photos by me)

Thanksgiving We cleaned up the grill and smoked a turkey that I got at Costco for $14 ☺️

I mentioned during stream on Sunday, but I’m taking this week off for the holidays!

This is one of those prolific autistic creators that I disagree with most of the time. WTF is this utility, usefulness bullshit. My brain is filled with 60% thoughts on food—acquiring food, cooking food, when to eat food—20% what food does aabstract want to eat, 10% pottery, 10% why is Taro so soft.

Hey, it’s the holidays. Just a reminder that you don’t have to spend your time with people who don’t care about your rights or existence… or don’t know what is happening in this country, because they and everyone they know are largely unscathed. It’s okay to stay home and cuddle your cat instead.

A bunch of mugs and 2 cups from this past 1.5 months. This was the roughly half the bag of b-mix with sand. This ended up nice, but I still like b-mix with grog better.

I’m serious when I say that people don’t pay enough money for mugs. Period.

This is the “if-I-fits-I-sits” photo I took of Taro during strim. She did not in fact fits…

Seeing how many indies are up for GOTY is getting me kinda emo ngl 🥹 Big budget, tiny budget, huge team, small team, 3D, 2D, whatever the case may be, video games mean so much y’all 😭 So grateful to exist at the same time as this beautiful art form.

For anyone who has been following my half-marathon drama: I ran the half, and I finish, and I got a banana. I was +30 minutes on my PR for this route. But considering I’m still recovering from being sick, I didn’t get to train for the month leading up to it, and it was raining, this was a win…

Final update of this large blate 😌😌😌 #ceramics #pottery #wheelthrown

wtf they gave a bell house in Silksong??? 🥺🥺🥺

Update on the bigger piece: Went from 10.75 to roughly 10.25in after bisque firing. Someone moved my greenware from the bat it was on and chipped it. I fired anyway and glazed over it. Depending on kiln loading, final piece in a few days. #ceramics #pottery #wheelthrown

FDT 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Looking forward to the day my diet can move beyond soup and cough drops again

Happy Halloween!!! I’ve been very sick, so we didn’t get to do anything, but here is a horrifying clip…

I can finally take a break from the game. PC version 9999/9999 Deep of Night points! #EldenRingNightreign

One of two mug sets I made to gift. Might keep a set. Kind of like them… Ceramics, b-mix with sand (I prefer b-mix with grog of all of the options), winokur gray, eggshell white, cone 10

Okay folks, stream is tonight, but I am sick. I am coughing a bit, I sound stuffy, and I might take some pseudoephedrine, so it may be weirder than normal. I'll have cough drops and my inhaler to try to cough less, but this is just a heads up.

I was in the stream of an AuDHD creator when someone said to me, "At this point I think everyone is "divergent" in some way. I don't think there is a 'normal'." Folks, the existence of brain functioning/processing that is different from what is traditionally considered standard exists and is real..

what daily convos with political friends look like now 😔

Compliments of Shads

Thank you for everyone who stopped by to celebrate my streamaversary yesterday!!! Here's some of the temp tattoos I'm rocking at work today!

I have no idea how these will turn out but the clay is light gray (bmix with sand), I have eggshell white and another gray glaze. I normally enjoy darker clays more, but this was on sale, and I take the opportunity to use the light colored glazes when I get it…
