Death Panel's conversation about body fascism between Da'Shaun L. Harrison and Beatrice Adler-Bolton is the essential primer you need on who gets to be embodied, how we've marginalized people in the name of "care," and how this relates to the current rise in fascism.

I think I'm going to have to make my darling Frinos a quilted lily pad to sit on so he can be comfy while I confide in him. 😁

Finally starting this lily pad for Frinos.

I promised myself that I'd post about some of the pots I'm making this week, so here's a quick post about some starry sky hex cups that are secretly also glaze tests! Good luck in the glaze firing!

I haven't been making as much work as I'd hoped to be at this point, but I'm trying to be gentler with myself about that as there's little I can do about nasty chronic illness flareups! At least it seems like I won't have to wait as long to see how these new-to-me glazes will turn out on the hex cups as I likely will for doctors to get a handle on what's all going on now and why it's flaring up so badly.

During this slower time, I haven't been focusing as much on producing a lot of work as I have on experimentation both small and large - everything from streamlining processes to new bodies of work. Hopefully more pots to come soon!

Out of the kiln now!

If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.

Oh hey! Haven’t seen this in forever! Didn’t reblog it when it came across me before, not gonna skip it this time, I need some good vibes.

Sometimes NYC folks get confused when I say I'm skeptical of driverless taxis - here's a bunch of reasons why that have nothing to do with being (correctly) skeptical of big tech. Turns out the safety isn't there yet, and unsurprisingly, they mean more cars on roads in cities!

Don't think that adding driverless cars in the mix will increase the number of cars and taxi trips? You don't take it from me, take it from Uber cheering it on for this very reason: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/17/waymo-means-way-mo-cars-according-to-uber-docs

Think they're better at following the law than human drivers? Waymo knows they block bike lanes too and doesn't care: https://road.cc/news/driverless-taxis-veering-into-cycle-lanes-normal-practice-says-waymo

Cities deserve real transportation solutions that scale - public and active transit. I know a lot of the US has a real long way to go to get there, but NYC (for the most part) is there and could really get there for all New Yorkers using proven solutions like protected bus and bike lanes.

worst thing about liking an m/f ship is other people always bring gender roles into it and it's like okay atp you're shipping the platonic ideal of A Girl and A Boy. that is not how they are. get your gender roles out of my awesome bisexual ship.

I decided to see if it was possible to pit olives with a little cherry pitter, and I am thrilled to report it absolutely is.

For those who aren't aware, in NYC bicyclists are legally required to follow pedestrian signals when bike signals aren't present. This includes explicitly being allowed to have a head start compared to cars for increased visibility where there are leading pedestrian intervals, i.e. the pedestrian signal changes to walk before the red light turns green. This has been true since late 2019.

NYPD and most traffic court judgesare largely unaware of this rule, despite years of reporting on the matter, and this has resulted in lots of bicyclists getting expensive tickets (nearly $200 for one "run red light") incorrectly for years.

Hell Gate has the latest reporting on this, which includes a judge noting that these tickets may all have been wrong since then: https://hellgatenyc.com/judge-upends-nypd-red-light-tickets-cyclists/.

I'm so glad to see this reporting, but also wondering what the fix is going to be. Will people's records get corrected? Will the nearly $200 fines be refunded?
