My latest round of glaze firing was a little less political than the last, but maybe just as fun? 🧵

When people ask for variations on your “mug for the times,” you give the people what they want 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’d love to see a version of this panel where the panelists represent a broader range of lived experiences - beyond their career sector.

My latest #pottery creations! I’m pretty proud of this batch! (And my “mug for the times” has been a popular request! 😂)

I’ve been slacking in my quest to turn this into a pottery account 😅 Please enjoy my latest hand-carved spiral mug, and the mug that I’m calling “a mug for the times.” I recently had a request to add Trump after f*ck in said mug for the times. I’m excited to work on that next!

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

I spent the weekend at a ranch in WY with fellow faculty from the University of Wyoming’s Academic Writing Fellows Program. We meet weekly in small groups to write, and we were fortunate enough to all gather together this weekend for writing, community, and camaraderie. 10/10 recommend.
