I can’t keep track of days, but I can share my fave pottery pic of the week. Take care of yourselves and do what you can with what you have. Experimental bottle - hoping it turns out more forest floor than ocean floor after firing

Reddish clay bottle with little bits and patterns added around the neck that hopefully will look like moss after it’s glazed and fired

One cool thing about the United States is that there are more people whose job is to deny healthcare coverage without having any medical background than there are people to provide healthcare coverage and they’ve somehow convinced people that the doctors are where the monetary waste is happening

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

I found gardening back in 2019 when I literally threw some seeds into some dirt outside the place I’d just moved to. Now I have a big garden and even bigger plans for this year 🌱 This big mama is among the last of 2024 sweet potatoes, but she will live on this year! Her slips are growing!

My hand holding a pretty big sweet potato, from which the end has been cut off for growing slips (new potato plants for this year). Trays planted with sweet potato chunks are in the background.

18-year-old Jude on laws banning gender-affirming care: "On the more extreme end, for a lot of kids it's the possibility of severe mental-health struggles and suicidal ideation - but I also think on a smaller scale, kids, because they cannot be themselves, would rather choose to not be anyone."

I think a lot of people don't quite
understand the impact of these bills on
queer kids. On the more extreme end,
for a lot of kids it's the possibility of
severe mental-health struggles and
suicidal ideation - but I also think
something could happen on a smaller
scale where kids, because they cannot be
themselves, would rather choose to not
be anyone. If I hadn`t been able to
change my name, I don't know ifI
would choose to go onstage for the
school play, if I would choose to be in my
poetry club. There's a whole bunch of
kids who don't get to thrive because
they're stuck in this place where they're
suffering and there's not really a way out
of that" -Jude, 18, he/they, Louisiana

Back in the mid-20th century, the FBI could place an individual under surveillance solely for being LGBTQ. This is what enabled the anti-queer witch hunts of the McCarthy era. Now, DHS permits surveillance of LGBTQ people again. Just being queer makes you a suspect. www.advocate.com/politics/dhs...

DHS quietly eliminates ban on surveillance based on sexual orientation and gender identity

The DHS quietly updated its policy manual earlier this month, removing LGBTQ+ identities from the section prohibiting surveillance based solely on immutable characteristics.
