Big mossy green mug with a swamp tree full of honey bees gathering pollen in the warm sun. It's feeling like spring outside and reminding me I still haven't even ordered seeds yet, much less gotten things planted. Time is running out. Brambledragon.etsy.com #ceramics #pottery #art #gifts #etsy

The marshes will be full of blackbird songs soon. I can't breathe from all the mold blooming in my dumpy trailer. Need to replace the broken window and plug up the leaking roof again. Here's a mossy green cup in the spirit of the season. Brambledragon.etsy.com #ceramics #pottery #art

Particularly dangerous in a country so stricken with laziness that people will ske any opportunity to forgive themselves of responsibility by throwing their arms in the air and going "OH gorsh I guess it's just too hard to figure out the truth, opinions are truth now"

AI fakes spread disinformation. Is the distrust they create even worse? Manipulated images undermine our shared realityβ€”and the democracy built upon it.

A few weeks ago, I saw a group of people in a Facebook comments section trying to figure out if a picture of Ilhan Omar was real. (It was not.) I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I wrote about what I'm calling "strategic memes against public participation." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

One of my kid’s favorite books. My toddler had me read it tonight. He loves pointing at the baby in the Iranian family.

I wonder if we killed Kian and his baby sister yet. I wonder if they’re reading together as oil rains down and their streets burst into flames.

It's just copper red colored--it's a magnesioferrite glaze on stoneware. I don't think a copper planter would last very long or do good things to the soil.

Low wide copper red planter for bonsai trees or shallow root succulents. Used to be my biggest seller but now they pile up and collect dust. Trends are funny. brambledragon.etsy.com #ceramics #pottery #art #bonsai #houseplants

This shows the sort of data that Proton Mail, which prides itself both on end-to-end encryption and that it's only governed by Swiss privacy law, can provide to third parties. In this case, the FBI. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

This big copper red mug has dragons wrapped around it. There's a little sun out. I've forgotten how to talk to people and interact with the world. There are no others to time my life to, not even a pet that needs a meal. Just the sounds of machines and wind. Shop.brambledragon.com #ceramics #art

An Israeli settler, armed with a gun, confronts a Palestinian farmer, declaring, β€œThis land is now mine. Leave immediately. Never return.” The farmer’s family has cultivated this land for generations, while the settler arrived from Eastern Europe.

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us β€œsexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS
