I wanted to welcome all the new people joining Mastodon in the latest #TwitterMigration and introduce myself.
I'm an #artist who specializes in #raku #pottery. I am also very interested in #nature #gardening #sustainability #boardgames #Archaeology #space #photography and learning new things.
As you may have guessed from my post hashtags are helpful to connect with others on Mastodon.
I have included some of my work below.
THIS is last year's Christmas card from TN Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican who represents the district that Covenant School is in in Nashville. #tnleg -Shannon Watts. Remember:
Ogles claimed to be an economist & a former law enforcement official who focused on child trafficking.
Nashvilleβs Channel 5 found that NONE of it was true. Another Republican fraud. StopGOPLies

I love how Barnes & Noble specifically promoted some of these "banned" books. Every library and bookstore should do this.
βThis magazine can be saved. Indeed, it must be saved. And the journalists who produce it must be assured the financial security they need to keep speaking truth to power in 2024 and beyond.β https://www.thenation.com/article/society/texas-observer-shutting-down/ via @thenation β€οΈ

Republicans cause the economic & societal problems: Desmondβs new book, βPoverty, by America,β explores why the US poverty rate hasnβt improved in 50 yrs & the stagnation suggests that many Americans & corps profit from tens of millions of people having so little: *Wages rose slowly for the poorest Americans *More govt aid for the financially comfortable *1 in 18 live in βdeep povertyβ * Racial wealth gap is as large as in the β60s *Overdraft fees mostly paid by the poor: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/28/5-alarming-stats-on-us-economic-inequality.html

Sir, would you happen to have a pumpkin? If so, I won't eat that tree next to your beautiful red car.

The greatest story about social media. I don't think it gets better.
In November 2022, @texasobserver@texaxobserver.social became one of the first newspapers to start their own Mastodon server.
Unlike most newspapers, @texasobserver operates as a non-profit.
This week, the non-profitβs board of directors voted to disband @TexasObserver.
But within 48 hours, people have given $250,000 so it can continue to exist.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
