How will I fire my pottery? I don’t know, yet! But I did make my first ever pinch pot this weekend and shaped a whole herd of spindle whorls.

I also make a lemon pasta that consists of spaghetti in a pot or pan, with about 1 - 1/2 inch of water on top (have some handy in case it cooks off because this measurement depends on the pan dimensions) and the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Bring to boiling and then reduce, letting the pasta cook in the

One of my favorite, cheap and filling and flavorful Winter meals:

-Chopped or sliced cabbage
-can of tomatoes
-can of garbanzo beans
-spices (I usually do turmeric, paprika, red pepper, etc.)
-olive oil

Mix it all up and put it in a baking dish in the oven at 400° F for 45 min, top with feta.

Money given to the Democrats isn't just wasted, it does active harm. Donate directly to people in need or grassroots, local orgs doing measurable good.

Apparently I am abundant with correct assessments, and must only deal with the occasional quibble over my statements about how quetzalcoatlus takes off.
I’ve been trying to start a fight on this site for over a year now, here goes:

Other than the fact that an actor from a lot of John Waters’ movies once tried to nonconsensually smooch me, but that’s not that interesting, in the end.
I’d do a “I’ve had mezcal and it’s been a long couple of weeks so AMA” but I think in all the ways that matter I’m an open book on here, so . . .

About the only mysteries are my speculations on various celebrities’ sexualities and gender identities, and you won’t get those out of me with any amount of alcohol unless you’re in some super specific group chats.

Part of the reason I think there isn’t as much pressure around stopping ChatGPT re: suicide/psychosis as compared to stuff like Panera Lemonade is because people are inclined to blame it on mental illness versus the tech, a kind of victim-blaming mentality that fits neatly into just world fallacy

A few weeks ago I zoomed with a group of high school students and their adult mentor to discuss taking social action. I am thrilled to report that this group of 10 students raised $10,000 in two weeks to support their local food pantry. They sent me a photo and it has them all jumping and I tear up.

It’s time to live another day as a radical extremist with unpopular opinions, like that all humans deserve food, healthcare, bodily autonomy, civil rights, a home, and clean air.

Maybe it’s the Mezcal talking, but then again maybe the future is in Universal Basic Income, Landback, and reparations.

Geology is responsible for Frankenstein, but so is privilege. (In addition to the most goth and badass queen who has maybe ever lived, but still, without the first two things we still don’t get Frankenstein.)

Wands are drop spindles.

Took me until making my own drop spindle to realize this, but of course!

The reason “spinsters” are called as such is because women who developed the skill to spin thread were able to make enough money they didn’t have to marry.

That’s some powerful magic.

You don’t beat abusive, controlling people by trying to play chess better than them. They will win every time.

You win by refusing to play games. By caring for people. By standing firmly in what is right. By turning away from the chess board over and over again.

I have a hard and fast rule about not sharing substack links, but if you want to understand the strategy behind what Justice Jackson did in issuing a administrative stay with a 48 hour deadline re SNAP, do a little searching.

Don’t just be like “I can’t believe she did that.”

She had a reason.

Now contemplating what I’d put on a sandwich called “the acquittal”.

Should it be cold-cuts, or should we put it in a panini press? Or maybe just grill it?

Obviously, mustard and onions are essential. (Mmmm, let’s pickle the onions with some hot peppers!)

I feel like arugula would be grand.
If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing
