I don’t know if it was national or just the tri state area but growing up, every night they had an announcement ad at 10pm that sternly said “it’s 10pm. Do you know where your children are?” and I still think about it every night at or around 10pm

been a stressful day and it’s not even over but I thought I’d take a nice lil dinner break with some sushi and then ya gurl dropped the spicy mayo and it splattered all over the hallway, just… when can I be in my bed and stop being conscious, please

I’ve been renting out space in my kiln in exchange for snacks, getting TWO snacks deliveries today, might need to start reporting all these snacks to the irs

I get it, I sell things, but anti-black-Friday spending still carries the ick of Black Friday spending, like seeing all ads for cool things is still just… seeing all ads? could we not just reject the notion of a purchase holiday altogether, could we not choose sanity, I ask ye verily

first real snag of the espresso cups: absolutely do not have enough of this base color glaze to finish and don’t have time to go buy more - time to get ~creative~ WHOOPS

the dog show is an event, like the Olympics, where there should be a lane for regular people so you have a sense of how good the athletes really are - throw some wild looking shelter dogs in the mix, just a couple of weirdos who can’t really follow directions for emphasis

it’s just chalk so everything is fine but wow what an incredible post to open Reddit to

omgggggg all my espresso cups survived their first firing, maybe I have just been bad at attaching handles until now, this is an unprecedented success rate, lol

I’ve never cooked a Thanksgiving dinner but I feel like I’m getting the full experience right now waiting for my kiln to be cool enough to open so I can find out if I fucked up my turkey/espresso cups We’re at 660 degrees and dropping, someone start decanting the gravy

there’s this guy on my street that always smiles at me so I talk to him in my v broken Spanish and today he said I was beautiful (por supuesto 💅💅) but I did not have the Spanish capacity to say gracias, senor, I haven’t showered in dias y dias

I unironically love the cover of Sweet Child O Mine from Captain Fantastic if you are looking for a fun version but can only listen to music featuring Viggo Mortenson youtu.be/SZCD4_Zckn8?...

every time I think I’ve gotten the cricket in my house back outside, I find a new cricket in the house. I dare say these bugs… are not virgins

I’d also note that Jim is a cartoon smokeshow who is underrepresented in most hot cartoon dude ranking discussions - Aladdin ain’t got SHIT on Jim (but still he’s no Dimitri in Anastasia, with respect)

I want cocaine to be decriminalized for the sole purpose of reality tv shows being honest that everybody is on coke - all these Bravo shows about 30 somethings screaming and they’re all so obviously on coke and I want someone to just say it out loud as the explanation for ONCE

I have suggested a Thanksgiving gender reveal to someone in the form of food coloring in the mashed potatoes and let’s just say I’m prepared to end relationships if this doesn’t happen

there was a nunnery (I don’t feel like looking this word up, but this can’t be right) and when I worked at the video store the nuns would come in all the time and I always felt so scandalized when they would rent R-rated movies, I was a sin accomplice to god’s closest buds

I’m stuck in an in between where there’s proooooobably not enough time to make anything more for the craft markets I have NEXT week, but there’s also just enough time that I miiiiiight be able to get something else done so I’ll prob just procrastinate until the decision is made for me

I made some postcards advertising paint your own pottery private events, which is just an insanely confident thing to do for an activity I have half completed once, lol

sure am taking my sweet ass time for a gal on a schedule, I tell ya what

hello, will you be in Long Beach, CA this small business Saturday Nov 29? Would you like to paint your own pottery from 11am - 5pm AND support a small business? Then perhaps you would join me at Patchwork Show at Marine Stadium! Food! Shopping! Free activities! www.patchworkshow.com/long-beach/

one of my gen z cousins already said “ok boomer” to me five years ago, I can only assume I’ve aged to “ok greatest generation” this holiday season

I’m gonna lose my “Star seller” badge on Etsy because I’ve been too busy to update my shop so it’s been on vacation and you have to make like three hundo per quarter to stay a Star seller It’s generally meaningless but do you understand the pain for a former gifted child to LOSE a STAR

got these as a great goof excuse to buy a black light but actually I will have to move if a black light reveals anything in my home beyond glow in the dark Swedish fish, so this idea might be at a standstill

I really thought we were passed the age of door-to-door solicitors but BOY we are not, what a fucking terrible job to have also like… “I have no identification and no business cards but let me into your home” who is this pitch working on, my man, lol

Update: let er rip drying, sicko mode - but it seems to be working and nobody has cracked yet myself included and I am cautiously optimistic we’ll be firing tonight, babyyyyyy

I’m at the “let er rip” stage of drying these espresso cups, a stage of drying ceramics one ought never get to or stay at, but baby: we got a deadline

I mostly use weed vape pens, and you’re supposed to keep the cartridges upright so they don’t clog, which I find impossible to do, so I’d like the weeble wobble team to get in the vape pen game and make some cute lil vape dudes that won’t tip over, there are potentially tens of dollars to make here

The building that my dentist’s office is in is under construction and now I know what it would look like if Jigsaw was your dentist, aesthetically

what is the smallest societal change that could cure you - mine would be legislation requiring the hot/cold knob of your shower be calibrated to the reality of your water heater. I got about 1/2 a millimeter of maneuvering space between burning to death and freezing to death, it’s no way to live

I actually think this is the reason I feel better having deleted Facebook and only looking at instagram a couple times a year - it’s not the AI slop itself, it’s realizing the people you respected are functionally braindead that is depressing

Hey there #portfolioday! I'm Daniel, a ceramic and digital artist with a focus on natural history, horseshoe crabs, and Pokémon. I offer commissioned D&D maps, personalized cups and mugs, and unique batch order pottery to your specifications! Email: [email protected]

today I did a full Sunday: no work, only bagel-based meals, several cozy video games, wearing a t shirt from middle school, and a crisp Coca Cola with the fancy sphere ice my fridge makes for no reason but pizzazz

this may be the Stockholm syndrome talking, but I think I love making espresso cups now?? Lookit all my lil cuties!

when I was like 12, we got stopped at the mall to do a market research thing and it was taste testing a pizza-stuffed pretzel, like totino’s pizza rolls but a full sized hot pretzel and god if I don’t think about that food item constantly, gave me a taste then never came to market

been thinking a lot about making an urn for meoward’s ashes, but I’ve also been thinking a lot about making a lamp and what… if I combine them into a lampurn “cool lamp” “thank you, my cat is inside”

My only note on a note here is don’t then forget to go back and fill in the brackets - literally an insane amount of scripts have crossed my desk with shit like [a soccer game occurs] still in there, lol

took a nap in there by accident but it’s DONE, 60 espresso cups with handles attached who all better show me some respect and dry perfectly

when your temperature regulation leg doubles as a gentleman regulation leg

the handle smusher returns to the scene of the crime, unrepentant and thirsty for more

gotta attach 38 more handles to my espresso cups and my main bitch James just walked across my handles, smushing at random - def went to Montessori school

literally whaaaaat is happening, over here puttin lil handles on lil cups and suddenly everything is upside down on god’s own internet

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down TRUMP: Uh huh MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade? TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

the last rains shifted the post so my gate door isn’t locking right, and I felt an immense loss of safety until I thought for one second about how the “fence” is just a row of bushes and I’ve been locking a door in a wall you can walk through, lol

We have to turn impostor syndrome into a pill and give it to every prominent person in this country. They should constantly be worrying that they're stupid

an absolute palm frond massacre out here from the rain and wind last night, almost seems like a design flaw to have towering trees that shoot deadly projectiles at you all over a residential area

the agony of watching old reality tv is I am finally in the emotionally vulnerable position to buy one of Patricia’s pet kaftans and the website no longer exists because it was eight years ago 😩😩 There’s never been a better place for Meoward than on a kaftan!

60 espresso cups: technically exist still to do: wow, rude to ask me that
