A raku vase with coppers, browns, greens and gold on a white background.
This raku piece 'Hera's Heart' reminds us of loves complexities this Valentine's Day.
Heraβs heart, in flames entwined,
Emerald and copper, power combined.
A queen unyielding, bold and strong,
Of passion, trials, and loveβs song.
Cracked by flame, but never torn,
A goddess crowned, in fire reborn.

All they can put in your way is bureaucracy, annoyance, and the false impression that more people hate you than actually do. Your body and soul and self are yours.
Servarr is the answer. No need for physical media. 80TB NAS the size of a few paperback books. MiniPC the size of a couple decks of cards. Bam. All the media you want.
Beautifully designed space-age-llooking gun made from glass, brass and aluminum.
Photo of the designer, a young Taiwanese woman, holding up her gun. There are delicate tubes and a small clear pocket attached to her face, ready to catch any tears
Thank god there's finally some useful technology. Yi-Fei Chen, aTaiwanese designer, has built a beautiful gun that collects and freezes tears, so you can shoot them at the person who caused them
Trans people threw the first brick at Stonewall. Now, the Trump administration is trying to write us out of that history. We will not let them.

I've literally spent years trying to get a decent photo of a Goldcrest, and today I finally managed it. Thanks Gordon! You're a tiny little star! #birds #ukwildlife #wildlife #nature

A young red-tailed hawk flying from the ground to a low post at Ridgefield wildlife refuge. This is the driving loop and Iβm inside my car with the hawk returning to this post several times while I sat there enjoying its company.
This young Red-tailed Hawk spending time near me yesterday felt like a gift.

I've known shitposters, on boards you people will never see, I've been BBS and back...dial-up! I've heard downloads screech their shame on a 100 baud modem on a Commodore 64 on a stack of milk crates with sweat in my eyes watching sbootleg anime dubs on VHS
I'm so looking forward to riding the subway again!
They're too stupid to take any responsibility.
Overheard this really loud conversation while walking into a crowded Bay station:
Dude 1: When you get hit in the balls, does your right one hurt more than your left one.
Dude 2: Uhh..
Dude 1: DUDE! MY RIGHT SIDE IS LOWER THAN MY LEFT!!1!
Woman: Can I try hitting you now to see what happens?
Mine was at 2:32!
Iβve turned the corner from crank to eccentric. I work alone and outside. I talk to owls. The dogs see me as an equal. My hair and beard are a poorly executed 17th-century woodcut and the people I donβt hiss at suffer my stories about things Iβve found in the wrack line until their eyes glaze over
Ah, the gentle approach.
How great is it that both Bill and Ted turned out okay?

An ever-so-slightly out-of-focus great grey owl perched on a deciduous branch, partially obscured by other twigs and branches. The bird is looking down at the camera with a look of mild annoyance.
Another view of last weekβs great grey owl doing what it does best: shoot daggers. #birds
Doesn't work. Not salty enough and gives horrible stomach ache.
Feeling that right now. Beautiful, Joseph!
