Wheel thrown mug with underglaze transfers and a fancy handle. #pottery

Double vase “noodle pets”, wheel thrown and altered.

Working on a mug. One of my pottery students gave me her bag of clay scraps (because she refuses to wedge!) and she was going to throw out her underglaze transfer scraps. I salvaged both and turned them into this, which I plan to give back to her when it’s done.

“What have I done!” 🤡

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Current US Policy: If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Love this visual by @sarahlcomics. Keep this in mind as we move through a season of heightened consumerism, and when you do buy, consider seeking out local artisans and small Canadian businesses.

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember and honour the people we've lost to acts of anti-trans violence. I stand in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQ+ community and will continue to advocate for the rights and safety of transgender people across the province.

Beautiful glaze on this ruffle topped bowl! I am quite pleased with the results! Glaze notes are in the alt text

Doug Ford is why we can't have nice things. What I'd like to know is how his government manages to add $100 billion in new debt while chronically underfunding both education and health care. We are not being served. Ford's pals are getting richer. #onpoli bsky.app/profile/eslf...

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

ICE vs the clergy

I am so embarrassed to having to do this but I need 600 for a surgery to happen on 10/31 for my severe carpal tunnel on my left wrist as well as a ganglion cyst that's gotten too close to my artery So I am selling some pieces! I know everyone is tight right now but reposting is love

This really is a GREAT sign!

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

DC J6: 1.500 arrests DC No Kings: zero Tell me again which side is violent?

There is much less pottery left to glaze. A full kiln load is cooling down. I should be able to empty it tomorrow morning.

Inside of bowl textured Amber Brown x3, followed by RHC x2 dots, with iron luster x1 over top. Textured Amber brown x3 on the outside .

I got behind on pottery glazing and wound up with an overwhelming number of pieces to glaze!

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

There’s a non-zero chance that Trump is destroying the country to distract from Epstein

Saw a bunch of wildlife down by Turtle Pond. Didn’t manage to get photos of all of them.

A small urn I made for my friend.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Work in progress on a porcelain butter dish using Sanbao underglaze transfers.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

Mikie Sherrill: To have someone like Hegseth say that he’s going to put the Marines on the streets of America, that’s really dangerous, it’s dangerous for our civilization population, it’s not good for the Marines

Bowl with frozen pond technique. So pleased with this! Wish I had written down the glazes I used! RHC dots, possibly Amaco deep firebrick and or Smokey merlot?

Mug shot Monday. I made these beauties for myself and am so pleased with how they turned out - hand built with Amaco Blue Rutile.

Since @tkingfisher.com shared these words of wisdom with the world, I shall share 5 US Kindle copies of A Wizard's Guide To Defensive Baking, which is a great book, and you should read it if you haven't, and if you have, find someone who hasn't. #KindleBookGiveaway

The same shit, different assholes

Almost 10% of the entire Canadian electorate voted on the VERY FIRST DAY of advance polls because we’ve spent the last 3 months watching what happens when you elect a populist windbag who vilifies journalists and shits all over people’s fundamental rights. Thanks America. You really did us a solid.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

We can’t stop speaking out. For every Kilmar. For every single person this administration is targeting and hurting and disappearing. Because democracy really does die in darkness and authoritarians like Trump win by tiring us out and making us feel hopeless. We must keep going.

This is good, but is Abrego Garcia coming back?

I’m so relieved that Kilmar is alive. I do think it’s strange that just one of the 200 people who were sent to this hell hole is receiving most of the public attention. All of these men need to be returned to US and given due process &/deported to their home countries.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

Sounds about right…👇 Doesn’t it?! 🤚

This chip and dip bowl is already on its way to its new home. #pottery #wheelthrown #handmade

I don’t know why I am even a little bit surprised. I do know why I am 100% sickened and angry.
