willow caught doing the cough that looks like asthma again :/ it’s been over a month (at least so far as we’ve seen) and she otherwise is super active and breathing fine per my amateur opinion. all the vet said was “if it becomes a pattern then come back” but what does that mean!!!!

there are SO many different colors of clay and I’d love to painstakingly separate all the colors out if I had the time. but I want to see what the colors look like mixed too, for comparisons sake

sieving yard clay while working and it’s taking all my effort not to just throw the computer out and focus all in on my beautiful clay slurry

I was wondering if her little freak out was triggered by smelling an outdoor predator (since it happened right after I came in from the yard and we often have bobbed cats) and lo, today a bobcat walked through sniffing after something. curious if it following the scent of another cat…

making a bunch of planters for indoor plants is fast becoming a gateway drug for making ceramic table lamps

Thanks for following this body of work, it was an inspiring project for me!

ms willow has sort of involuntarily growled at me a few times this morning, I think maybe she smells something from when I walked outside that’s freaking her out :( but she gets kind of the sniffles after too so I hope it’s not another kind of coughing fit :(

I spent my whole lunch break today spraying down tiny spider mite infestations trying to grow too 😡 it’s barely even spring and we suffer already

UGH fine. her leaf is basically free and her new stalk is baby baby so she’ll probably be fine and I don’t want my room covered in millipede things 😭

I should repot but she’s doing SO well and has a bunch of new growth right now that will immediately die if I fuck with the roots :(

there were. small many legged creatures coming out of the bottom of a plant pot. I did not like that

you really have to look out for baseball players these days. they’re everywhere. a few minutes ago i turned on a baseball game and there were like 12 of those fuckin’ guys

yay: tree swallows in the park at work picking up grasses, presumably to decorate a nest
nay: I think they were pulling dead grass from a spot that was herbicided :(

I think we really bonded over this experience

meanwhile, quietly watching IT remote into my new computer to solve an issue I’m having and hitting all the same walls I hit. like yep that’s not going to work. see. that won’t either. nope we’re gonna have to restart now

they gave me 48gb of ram on my new work computer. can I steal this for home

an eyewitness report says it was the studio menace who did it. she also recently took someone else’s greenware and put her initials on it.

Everyone knows the economy is doing great. I dont know why homelessness is up and a record number of people are working 2 jobs, but that has nothing to do with the economy. The economy is a chart with a line going up, not that other shit. Grow up

I was questioning my sanity like DID I really glaze this pot already?? it was washed VERY clean but was still covered in sponge debris…. I’m mostly just mad it was glaze I paid for

my first guess is they mistook it for something they made (though. it was carved so it’s not like it was an easy thing to mistake!) and thought someone took it?? but then. they washed it off extremely thoroughly and didn’t leave any sort of oops my bad note??? so???

today in shared studio ceramics. someone just. washed all of the glaze off a piece of mine that was waiting to be fired.

me and my coworker were like. in the nicest way possible trying to be like well. maybe TikTok is not the best source of info?

“well, so I saw this TikTok—“

this kid at work who I already dislike just said. so do you guys believe that moon stuff was real or fake?

2h 45min bird study ✨

and my first infested plant had like 3-4 today 🥲

watching NASA hit a very specific target in the big big ocean with a vehicle that just came back from outer space at 25,000mph definitely has me reflecting on the charter bus company that couldn't get me to a bus station

I too have been locked inside a small space on a vessel on the pacific ocean off the coast of san diego

girl they’re trapped
