Enraged at the state of the world? Finding it hard to keep your hands off of the necks of hateful shitheads? Get yourself some clay! Don’t wait, try clay now and you too can avoid a crime spree, for at least another day or so. Clay: keeping people from prison one lumpy project at a time!
This is a clay witch hat that is made of a wet grey clay. If it does not crack it will get fired in a kiln. This is a clay spider, still wet. I wanted to see if I could make a spider. Not sure if it will survive.This is another wet clay witch hat. I don’t know if it will survive drying and the kiln, so right now these are just experiments.

Dandelion is eating cornflowers and is a happy bunny. She is also a brave and violent warrior who terrifies her dog. My home is safe provided I sacrifice live plants to her twice a day. #housedemon #rabbit #bunny

The resident demon of my dwelling requires a daily sacrifice of plant life. It is violent and passionate, like everything rabbits love best. As it is the end of August and I live in the Yukon, soon the free range sacrifices will be nigh impossible to harvest. Praise greens. #housedemon #rabbit

His lordship. A sweetie. The loveliest gentleman who sometimes gets catnippy and breaks things. This wonderful black pittie is a caring and gentle brother to his cat and rabbit. He’s a love.This pretty brown lop rabbit is a demon from hell who crawled out of a pit to collect souls from this realm and she has me bound by an ancient code that keeps me in her service. Highly recommend.

These may become ceramic ghosts, or they may be shattered by the kiln gods into smithereens, like my heart when I run out of ramen. Tempt not the kiln gods. Yes it is too soon for spooky season but I am a slow beginner potter and this may be as far as these guys go. Love you. #pottery #clay

Finding yourself needing to strangle others? Uncertain of how you would fare in prison? Try pottery today! Smush and shape and flatten the snot out of some clay, and then fire it like it’s the US president. Sigh. #pottery

The community kiln I have access to closes in the summer, but I am a fool and keeping starting little pottery projects. As a result my home is filling with fragile greenware that the rabbit is happy to hop around on and sometimes break. Why not? #pottery #rabbit #housedemon
A rabbit sits in unfinished work-in-progress pottery, called greenware. She does not care that by sitting there she will break it, as it is just raw clay and not “cooked” yet. She only cares that it is a wobbly little container that fits her squishy, demonic self. I really love her.

One of the many benefits of channeling your rage and despair into squeezing the bejeebus out of clay instead of people is that you can sometimes make a lumpy plant pot and a depressed mushroom. Love you. #pottery #monsters

Just enjoyed a timely talk by @lesliedavenport.bsky.social featuring the “climate emotions wheel” - a reminder there’s no one right way to feel about climate change, the important thing is to acknowledge and tend to the full range of emotions so they don’t come out sideways.
Climate Emotions Wheel - a multicolored wheel highlighting a range of climate emotions falling within four overarching categories:

Positivity, including interest, empowerment, inspiration, empathy, gratitude and hope

Fear, including overwhelm, panic, powerlessness, anxiety and worry

Sadness, including guilt, shame, grief, depression, loss, loneliness and despair

Anger, including disappointment, betrayal, frustration, outrage and indignation

Some things I have seen this week. I am very lucky to be able to go outside and see a living world. I sit with this in awe and I worship and appreciate this place with everything I got. #yukon #kluane #hiking
Balsam poplar tree budding out its leaves on a sunny day. They smell beautiful. They can be medicine, sometimes. I saw this when I ducked into the trees to go to the bathroom, which is a normal practice for me when hiking. This is a view of Dezadeash Lake taken from the Rock Glacier Trail. The water looks still and blue and the mountain across the lake still had a bit of snow on it.This is St.Elias Lake, the end of the St. Elias Lake Trail in Kluane National Park and Reserve. It will green up soon now that the warm weather is here. We need rain.This is a view of Sheep Creek, taken at the 2km post on Sheep Creek Trail in Kluane National Park and Reserve. It is lovely there. There are Dall Sheep on the mountain but they are far away, up where it is high and safer for them.

I am less alarmed by this than by the fact that Conan O'Brien's 2026 commencement speech at Harvard doesn't mention climate change once. But it's the same story, really. We had enough data on oceans in 1985, when Conan graduated Harvard (Magna Cum Laude) to know it was a crisis...
