The drop from it is on the puddle of the bottom shelf. Also, look at those bubbles in the middle shelf; I think they indicate that some component of this glop is melting and gassing off. 002

There are depressions in it where is still fills the holes, though. The middle shelf is mounded with material, and the bottom shelf is glassy with smooth melt. 121

The clump is more melted today, and the drips of melt are preserved as they fall through the holes in the shelf. I am pleased by the drips on the bottom of the shelf, because I adjusted the rate and temperature of the cooling in an attempt to get that effect. We will see if it continues. 111

Reposted by Elliott PerkinsElliott Perkins @elliottperkins.bsky.social · 03/09/2026This is after the cone 017, or about 1360F firing. The borax precipitate on the top of the material has melted to translucence, and the sides are shiny from the melting material. One of the corners has fallen off. 132

Elliott Perkins @elliottperkins.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Ray A. Young Bear's book Black Eagle Child: The Facepaint Narratives really sticks with me because of the way the words kind of float around the stories, sometimes really close to events, sometimes far away, and how that invites me as a reader to think about what I'm doing in these stories. 120
Elliott Perkins @elliottperkins.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Malarkey Books sent me a sticker, three poetry chapbooks, and a fiction chapbook after I responded to a post where they gave away a returned copy of The Walls Are Closing in on Us by Joshua Trent Brown. The sticker is great, and so are the poetry chapbooks. You should support Malarkey Books. 1124

Elliott Perkins @elliottperkins.bsky.social · 01/08/2026This is true. It is cheaper to keep an EV on the road than a gas car. There are less moving parts. Electric motors require very little maintenance. This does not count the savings from fuel. Also, it is fun and funny to drive an EV into a gas station to wash the windshield and drive away. 120
