Got back my commissioned planters and they look great! I also got the feet set on the gray bowls, pulled handles, and then taught the sugar and creamer workshop! Tomorrow i’ll finish the gray bowls, finish the white bowls, put handles on the mugs, and try to get some last minute throwing in. I’ll plan to do mushrooms, coasters, and little sexy patricks on Sunday.

Forgot to post I made more bowls last night bc the studio closed for snow (that melted before noon and definitely threw off my making plan fir the whole weekend but we tryin’). I went ahead and put foot coils on the gray bowls and rolled out extra for the six already at the studio, and then I made eight more of white clay and saved enough white slabs to make hopefully seven sets of coasters (four textured sets and three slipped with hopeful carvings). I may have some extra time today before I teach tonight and I desperately need to put handles on the mugs I trimmed Monday. Hopefully they haven’t dried out completely. I’ll be able to get back in tomorrow too.

okay the non-american burger absolutism seems to be "on a burger bun = burger" so i have to ask the australians out there: does that mean a yumbo is a burger

Literally sobbing. A judge, a US judge defended us. A judge brought up intersex people, uaing the term intersex, to *defend* us by not allowing our erasure. I'm having a lot of feelings right now

Hiding government and public services to reduce how much they're used and "prove" that they're unneeded is a tried and true Republican technique. It's not a conspiracy, these things are deliberately made difficult to access to discourage people from using them because "more use = more funding" and "less use = less funding" is how public service funding is generally decided.

Musk outright lying about "deleting" a whole IRS program for low income tax filing is just a progression of common Republican tactics. Don't fall for it.

Hey, you reblogged that AI post and I was surprised to see something so mean on your blog. "If you cant write unassisted, fuck you, youre a disgrace to the community." Is that really something you want on your blog?

Just in case this isn't a spam message:

Posting AI-generated content to a platform intended to be an archive for writers is not appropriate use of the platform. On a platform intended for human creation, it is rude and inappropriate to clog search results with AI-produced content which often plagiarizes the work of human authors.

Use of generative AI is also horrible for our environment, leading to massive waste of fossil fuel energy and water. We should not be doing damage to our planet for the sake of generating (robot-produced, often plagiarized) fiction, especially when the joy of fiction comes from the creation and emotion of real people.

Rather than giving a prompt to a generative AI, people should consider attempting to write their own work, or asking another writer from the fandom if they would be interested in writing it. Anyone who is capable of typing a prompt into ChatGPT is capable of writing a story. The first attempts may not be amazing, but that is true of any skill, and anyone can improve with time and practice - and while ChatGPT may give you big returns in your time, it doesn't give you practice, growth, or creativity, which is where the joy of writing should come from.

Work tonight included testing two clays for the studio (while practicing the cream and sugar set I’m scheduled to teach Friday night, weather permitting), and waxing the empty bowls bowls we have for students to help with. I also rolled out some more slabs to take home because I’m nervous I’ll lose even more time Thursday if we do get ice. And that I realized the salt kiln is literally two weeks away and I’m NOT ready.

Not sure if I've told this story here before, but once upon a time, I didn't really get the point of most protests happening my area because I viewed them as "preaching to your own echo chamber" in a lot of cases. Ex: I saw people do a climate march through a very liberal university campus within a very liberal city, and I was just like "Okay, everyone here agrees with you. This place has crazy aggressive sustainability goals. What is the point of this?"

Then when Roe fell, there were a lot of protests outside the courthouses in cities near me, and though those city courthouses do serve the surrounding rural areas as well, the cities themselves are all rather progressive and left-leaning, so once again I was like "Okay, what is the point of this?" but I went anyway just for the experience. We stood on a street corner with our signs. Most people driving by honked in agreement with us. A few people yelled "abortion is murder" at us out their car windows, and we yelled back "abortion is healthcare!" Cool, okay, still didn't get the point because it's not like we were changing any minds or there in large numbers (we were no threat to any power structures), and the city already largely agreed with us.

But then we got another SUV that pulled up and yelled "abortion is murder!" at us (both husband and wife this time). Looked in the back seat, and they were traveling with their daughter who was maybe 13ish. She locked eyes with me, gave me the most serious look I've ever received, and gave us a thumbs up just above the window ledge so that her family couldn't see.

And that's the day I learned that protests are not always about threatening entrenched power structures but letting people in isolated ideological bubbles know that there are other perspectives and that if they share them, they're not alone.
