mugs with blue pink and white glazing representing the trans flag
It's #portfolioday, and I should probably share some pictures of my work, but we are still grieving the loss of our niece.
It was her lived experience and our desire for people to be loved and accepted for who they are that inspired our trans mug fundraiser.

The National Museum of Denmark’s photo shows fourty-four annular (ring-shaped) translucent turquoise blue glass beads strung on a modern circular thread and displayed against a black background. In 1885, Jens Jensen, a farmer, found the forty-four glass beads in a large cremation urn in the ploughed-over Kongehøj burial mound, near Humlum church, Denmark. The broken urn contained burnt bones, forty-four turquoise blue glass beads, and two gold spiral rings. The cremation burial is dated circa 1,100 BC. A research project published in 2015, analysed twenty-three blue glass beads from various Danish Bronze Age graves. The analysis showed that the glass of two of the beads originated in Egypt, and the others originated in Mesopotamia. The forty-four glass beads from Kongehøj at Humlum, originated in Mesopotamia. They date to the same long-distance exchange period as Baltic amber moving south. The research project links glass moving north with Baltic amber moving south, which points to complex, far-reaching trade and exchange in exotic goods some 3,000 years ago.
Beautiful blue glass beads from the Danish Bronze Age.

Big worry. There is this very coherent picture of deep western Atlantic overturning weakening for all different kinds of latitudes in the AMOC system consistent with slowing models. www.newscientist.com/article/2522...

Artemis II mission captures first pictures of the far side of the Moon.
Bees are small, fragile, and easily overlooked. And yet, in their heavy pollen-laden wings, they hold something of the planet's balance. With every flight, with every touch of the petals, the bee gathers not only nectar—it gathers life, color, hope.

Trump is bored with the war. He wanted another quick-fix like Venezuela. But Iran is now attacking the Gulf states and the Mideast is crippling our economy. Trump can’t tiptoe away from a longer bigger war than he expected!
I think we just need to make this shit mandatory.

This is extremely bad — and it’s ALL Trump‘s fault.
Meet Ayla Lucas, a 7-year old little girl with autism who is being held at the Ursula Detention Center in Texas.
The Ursula facility is notoriously known for having locked children in cages.
The irreparable harm being inflicted on these innocent children by this administration is inexcusable.
FYI to trans people:
HRT Cafe has apparently shut down after too much media attention.
Please, take advice from an old trans woman:
Take those discussions underground. All of them. Anything that discusses what we need to survive & where to get it. Word of mouth and private forums only!
This is trans genocide.
