good morning trans people you do not have to forgive your mother

Inspired by an episode of @deathpanel.bsky.social

More pottery in progress and one finished piece. Jars are currently a thing for me and I've been trying out some carving tools

Seeing a specialist today for hypermobility and am stuck waiting in an exam room with no chairs with backs on them

It's so strange that my partner is on vacation with a 7 hour time difference. I'm getting goodnight texts at 3PM lol

My partner is on a 14 day trip to eastern Europe with his best friend and just sent me a photo of them together. They'd be such a cute couple lol

Saw a group of 4 bears today while driving between pottery studios. Shock of my life

Anti-trans extremists are trying to undermine the science of trans healthcare, but in Boston this weekend the passionate activists at Protect Trans Futures made it clear they couldn't get away with posing as experts without pushback. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Some recent pots and pots in progress

Going to the dentist has absolutely no redeeming qualities

Final tally of the first night of the online shop was 6 sales! All to people I already know but that's OK for now

Somehow managed to sell 3 pots already 🩷

Actually opening my online pottery shop, ada-em.com, this week! Shipping to the US only for now. Sign up for the newsletter on the site to get a 10% discount code in your email Friday morning. There are no duplicate items, so once something sells, that's it (though you can always write to ask).

This made my day yesterday

My partner and I are finally making the transition from students to members at our pottery studio and I am fucking thrilled

Crossing state borders for HRT. Insurance denials. Missed surgeries. U.S. Catholic bishops imposed a ban on all trans healthcare throughout the church's massive networks. That's left working class trans people struggling even more. Our latest, by @davidforbes.bsky.social are some of their stories:

BTW, also setting up a newsletter so if you want to know when my ceramic shop goes live first, sign up here buttondown.com/AdaEm

Ordered shipping supplies and as long as our printer still works I'm going to be set to open my online shop for sales soon 😊

A pot that can go 🤷🏼‍♀️

Taking half a day of vacation today to try and finalize my website and order shipping supplies. The first people to know when my ceramics are available for purchase will be subscribers to my newsletter (buttondown.com/AdaEm)

Went to an experimental music concert in a chapel crypt last night and it was like reconnecting with my college self when i would go see weird shit all the time

Learning to support my body, just ordered finger splints and a tool to help make wheel throwing easier on my hands

Definitely wasn't provided enough info before doing a gastric emptying study. Had it canceled because I took my morning meds during the fasting period. Apparently I was supposed to wake up at 5am and take them

Forgot to do my injection before going on an overnight trip to NYC 🤦‍♀️

there are two trans lesbian tinglers. there should be more. i have made a note

Incredible stuff from Steph here

Definitely my favorite mug so far

First pots sold! And first commission! Two espresso cups with their pronouns 🩷

They're not going to run out of the absolute worst people with the absolute worst politics to replace the previous absolute worst person with. The barrel is bottomless, we have to eliminate the position, the agency, and unbuild the whole institution.

Learning a lot in therapy finally but probably not enough to make changes to my life yet lol

Think I nailed how I was feeling about the world in general at the pottery studio the other night

Yesterday was my 3 year hrt anniversary and next Tuesday is my 1 year orchi anniversary 🩷

trans love will save you ❣️

Happened across campus police having discussions about adding security cameras in my building today and I hate the treatment of schools as an expected scene of a crime

Uhhh, you good, Raffi?

I'm on a custom domain so it might not look it but, HELLO FROM NORTHSKY

Snow day number 1 was great for actually taking new pot photos for the website

All of my recently fired pots ended up nesting

Learned today that the dissolvable stitches from my surgery could be the cause of my chronic hives

if you subscribed to the old pronoun labeller, here's a replacement. you can subscribe to the labeller to see the labels, and you can like the posts in this thread to choose labels for your own account

My partner just got a job offer with only 5 days of vacation a year, wtf

(Jess Ting is in the Epstein files, I apologize if this is unwelcome news for you specifically)

I'm trying to sell more of these pins than they sell tickets for the Melania movie. I think I can do it. Want to help? willburrows.art/shop

Would love to see a platform finally allow me to leave IG for good share.upscrolled.com/en/user/4406...

New mugs!

Finally glazed this mug I threw months ago

That reminds us... we do have a Stitch & Bitch coming up! 🧶 Feb 5, 8 PM ET. Zoom. Be there. Do crafts! www.eventbrite.com/e/stitch-and...

PT intake to address general hypermobility results in a lot of "wow"s

trans ppl comparing their transition journeys, trying to suss out who's been "transitioning longer."
