cræftas and oðre þingas

if you would like to spite the really mean people even more today, consider donating to raices con voz. they're a student-led organization in los angeles, who deliver food and essential supplies to immigrant families who can't leave their homes due to the ICE raids. More information about them here

in keeping with tradition, here is a link to unicef's fund for emergency health supplies and services for survivors of the venezuela earthquakes.

here is another link for manos in action, an organization that delivers supplies, such as food and childcare items, to latin american immigrants in central florida. I've participated in one of their local food drives; they're great. if you're not local to central florida, you can always donate money.

I've been having a rough one!

Still working on getting my Google accounts back. Losing my Youtube, Drive, Docs, etc. has been really horrible. So many memories, comic scripts, videos and notes to myself from the last 20 years just - gone! I usually try to keep things backed up, but I'm finding out I was much less diligent than I thought & that's very fun.

I made a really neat (imo anyway) trinket dish that looks like a bird wing, since a folded wing is a really nice cup-shape for a trinket dish, and I already want to make more, but when I went to glaze it I ran into a bit of a dilemma: the undersides of most bird wings are really boring.

Since I had started making this particular one while looking at a European roller, I went with that with underglaze, and we'll see how it went later this week.

Anyway, the easy solution to all birds except rollers having bland feathers under their wings is to just refer to what the top of the wings looks like. But my brain sees the shape of the thing and stubbornly insists that you cannot put the convex coloring on a concave shape, it'd look like you turned the poor bird's wing inside out

So I'm at a stalemate, which brings us to poll

genuinely feels like this sums up so many online interactions
