This is what I’ve been up to
A top view of a ceramic bowl with an orangey patina glaze with a drippy design that flows to the center
A close-up of the center of the bowl where the drips converge into a creamy white, blue, purple, green, and orange moment

NEW: ICE tased a man in Danbury on Thursday, sending him to the hospital. I got video and the 911 call. DHS says the man reached for a pocketknife. It comes after four days of ICE sweeps in the city and dozens of arrests. My latest at @ctinsider.bsky.social — www.ctinsider.com/news/article...

Morning mountain cups!! Maybe this will be a pottery account now.
A hand holds a handmade (by me!) ceramic cup with a round belly and fluted top. It has mountains carved on the bottom half and a green glaze on the top half. A hand holds ANOTHER handmade (by me!) ceramic cup with a round belly and fluted top. It has mountains carved on the bottom half and a green glaze on the top half. The two cutie mountain cups that I am so proud of sit on a wood table in a pottery studio. Lockers are in the blurry background.

Some people are so universally beloved that I think we shouldn’t be told when they die. Let us figure it out eventually but never receive confirmation. We should always be able to idly speculate that somehow there’s a chance they *could* still be alive

toddler absolutely lost it at this line, requested the story over and over, talked for days about Toad pouring water all over his head, poured water on his own head in the bath just like Toad. Good stuff.

I love to outline in a spreadsheet until I absolutely cannot move forward unless I switch to writing by hand, which totally works until suddenly, only a bulleted list will do, and there are no clear stages at which each of these inner demands for change appear, I am just at the whim of my dumb brain

Hello! I am yet another person sharing with the void that I've been laid off from my media job, where I spent the last four years as a managing editor. In case magic is real and a perfect employer sees this, I'm looking for any editing/writing/comms/operations/admin positions, ideally remote!
