Some sponges do. Not luffas. 🤷‍♀️

I’m gonna watch the video tomorrow. I’m in a quiet room where someone is sleeping right now but I’m excited to watch it!

I would! 😍

Goingtoseed.org for the adaptation stuff.

Nice! I love grow bags! They are great cuz you can move em around. And they breathe. Better than pots.

All the fiber!

I have started some heirloom tomatoes and I’m a sucker for weird cucumbers, got some white ones. And eggplants and lots of peppers. Always pumpkin and squash. I saved a ton of seeds from last year might get some interesting hybrids. Planted marigolds and daisies and sunflowers.

Luffa (Sponge Gourd) Luffa cylindrica Seeds per pack ~ 25  Packed for 2026 BOTANICAL SAMPLE Origins and History Luffa, or Sponge Gourd (Luffa cylindrica), is an heirloom member of the Cucurbitaceae family, closely related...

So fascinated that luffa sponges are actually squash plants. You can grow a sponge. ujamaaseeds.com/products/luf...

Shopping for seeds as a form of therapy.

Hahah I’m joking. I have so many things I can use for cookies!

Just plain squares.

Two short cup shapes one with shells and one with waves in the wet clay stage.

Works in progress from today.

my retirement plan is the collapse of civilization

But seriously be nice to people.

I have a dog dying and an uncle dying and I’m in a position where I have to be the steady force of calm and support for other people and I just want to say that you should be kind to the people you meet because we might snap at any moment.

I’ve got an all 80s video channel on while I work today and all I have to say is, we didn’t deserve Prince.

Some mugs being painted with black underglaze. Lots of blackbirds.

Paint it black.
Doing detail underglaze work today.

This street is so perfect I have to assume that half the people that live there are secret murderers. I walk down there with Wilder sometimes and it’s like picture book suburbia.

A tree with pink blossoms overlooks a sidewalk near a white picket fence. Green grass as far as the eye can see. A seemingly idyllic suburban scene.

A view from the “cute street” in my neighborhood.

I suppose it depends on the vantage point and the lens from which you are viewing the history.

He had a very good day. 😊

I didn’t ignore it. Women and POC have been being oppressed and speaking out the entire time. I’m sure there are groups to blame but it’s certainly not all of Americans. It encourages xenophobia to acquiesce in that way. I still think this country has redeeming factors and lots of good people.

Outside a window would be nice. I have small bushes of it way out back but there is a huge fence of it on our walk and it’s just a wall of scent. Amazing.

Look I get it. For whatever reason it makes some people feel bigger to insult all Americans for what our leader and his people are doing but fascism comes at you quick. My advice is to be empathetic to the average people here and weed your own backyard.

Jasmine blooms. Clusters of white blossoms with hints of pink.

This is blooming on a fence down the street and it smells sooooooo good. #bloomscrolling

Best of luck to you.

It’s a product of capitalism. Do you have that where you live?

A big black sleepy dog on a couch. A tired dog is a good dog as they say.

This is a VERY good dog who did not bark at two different sets of small dogs on his walk today and THEN got to play with a neighbor dog his size for a good 20 minutes! He is tired and I’m very proud of him. 🥰
