@skinnylatte sounds so good!

Day 17: a hand built dish on which I imprinted a palm frond. I love the texture of this one.

Day 13: A Martian sunset.

My kid asked me to make him a stained glass piece. He's super into space, so I decided to make him a Martian sunset.

Did you know that Martian sunsets are blue?

Day 11: I hand built a butter dish using clay slabs. I'll continue practicing to refine my technique, but I loved how the imprinted fennel flowers came out.

Day 6: A larger-than-life fuchsia in stained glass.

For years I'd been wanting to take a stained glass class because I love light, color, and windows. I finally found a great teacher and studio in San Francisco: Dan Gamaldi at Cradle of the Sun. This was my very first piece (my own design).

Tonight: a calla lily nearly in full bloom.

@Bongolian @pluralistic Welp. I reloaded my search. Magically, the term "Google" now only appears once in the AI results, in a very tame sentence:
"Some say that Google has been affected by enshittification..."

🙄

@Bongolian @pluralistic Wow. And somehow this is still live (usually by the time I see these kinds of posts, Google has adjusted their results to avoid showing the ones that are problematic for their brand).

xkcd endorses Kamala Harris for President. 💙

@inthehands 💯 that one was fitting on so many levels.

Now maybe Harris will open the door for Trump and show him the way out...

As a native Philadelphian, I'm thrilled to see the #PhiladelphiaInquirer show the rest of the nation's newspapers how a proper endorsement is DONE.

"If elected, Harris, 60, would be the first Black, South Asian woman to hold the nation’s highest office. She rarely references her historic candidacy, and instead is laser-focused on earning votes through the substance of her vision, ideas, and temperament."

@Daojoan Hey, if I'm an early adopter, Keith's services will be basically free, right? Subsidized by VC funding?

If so, count me in! 🙃

Update: I've entered in all my votes for federal, state, and local offices.

Now I'm just double-checking the 25 state & city/county propositions to make sure my votes match my intentions. 😅

Time to finish reading through the voter information guides and fill out my ballot!

But at least one decision is very very easy.

Finished the solder on the front of my stained glass window pane! So for the first time I could stand it up and see how it looks with light shining through it. Next: soldering the back side.

Soldering the lead in the bottom pane of my double-hung window.

# TextureTuesday is distinctive, # SilentSunday is sublime, and I just unearthed the funky # FungiFriday.

But I haven't yet found a satisfying #Saturday #hashtag. Suggestions?
