I cuddled with the Zigmotron for a while and then decided to give Scout her time and Ziggy was all “no I’m not done” and climbed over her sister to get back in the cuddle.
A woman in glasses and blue hair with two kittens in pink llama onesies both cuddled on her chest.

In addition to reclaiming a bunch of clay I also threw the rest of my last bag tonight. I’m feeling a lot of internal pressure to get a bunch of things in process. I need to ensure tne future has more dopamine! #pottery

Reclaim time, bishes! #pottery
Three plaster rectangles sitting on a grey folding table. Each has a pile of very wet clay on it drying out to reclaim for making more pottery.

It’s been a long long time since I’ve had a fluffy cat. We got to “celebrate” baby’s first dingleberry last week. 🙄

They hate their onesies SO much and won’t believe me that a cone is worse. Also they won’t just calm down and nap they are wandering aimlessly around their room and falling over.

Very unhappy and hungry kittens have gone for their spay today. But on the bright side, they’ll come back in cute onesies!

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I like that these articles always say “could” — as if a massive corporate merger ever did anything but raise prices.
Headline: $67 billion NextEra-Dominion merger could raise U.S. electricity prices

One of the best Cat Things is when you reach down to pet one and they just get up in a little hop on their hind legs to get to the petting and lean into it 2 milliseconds earlier than if they waited for the pets to reach them normally. Collaborative Pets.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Does everyone get a lot of anxiety about things that require multiple STEPS and find it very overwhelming or is that me probably being neurodivergent? 😬 (e.g. one of the reasons I find exercise so hard is it involves multiple changes of clothes and showering and each is a Step to face)

It’s pretty much a damn miracle, with the kittens mostly having the run of the house except overnight, that they haven’t yet broken any pottery. Or Lego sets. Not for lack of trying, however.

Trimmed up a couple cute one piece jars tonight. for the second jar I had originally planned a more angular lid but I think pivoting to the curve was better #pottery
A freshly thrown small lidded ceramic jar thrown as one piece (closed form). It’s sitting in a square black bat on a white table. A freshly trimmed small lidded ceramic jar sitting on a grey table. It has a small domed lid with no knob. A freshly thrown lidded ceramic jar thrown as one piece (closed form). It’s sitting in a square black bat on a grey table.

The best way to console ourselves about the international shit sandwich buffet that we will have to consume in the coming years is to build out a massive train network, provide health care to all, and take out our aggressions on the billionaires.

A public backlash is growing against the predatory companies that try to erase our jobs and monetize everything not nailed down. They want leaders who are going to unapologetically fight back. Democrats should seize that humanist mantle. And it matters who we work with.

Here's some unsolicited advice for my Democratic friends - in office and running. Think twice before hiring consultants who are cozying up to private equity, signing up to defend prediction markets, or telling candidates to not say what they actually feel about the big AI companies.

If you struggle with this even when trying some kind of art, may I recommend sitting in front of a pottery wheel, which absolutely will demand your full attention on account of soft clay spinning very fast, and trying to leave bc centrifugal forces

Watching the first ep of the celebrity pottery throwdown and it makes me wonder if I was ever that bad. I don’t think so? I mean I definitely had some crap and trimming was a big learning curve but the physics made sense to me fairly quickly.

some people replying and saying ed sheeran can’t take the same risks as an established legend like david byrne, but then you look at olivia rodrigo who is 12 years younger than sheeran and just organized an entire festival to support ABORTION. bravery has little to do with age/experience.

I wish I was the sort of person who could sell my stuff in other ways than in person at a market or show or something. I can't even get myself to get around to sending things to people I love, much less strangers, so things would never get shipped in a timely manner.
