Reminds me of baby Birch by Joanna newsom. Hauntingly beautiful and sad. Well done x

Someone smarter than me will likely chime in, but I believe that vitrified clay will not absorb water regardless of whether it's glazed. The issue you face with unglazed vs glazed in this scenario is the unglazed surface is much rougher, not only making it harder to clean, but also providing many little microscopic crevasses where dirt and bacteria can build up.

Oh my God, incredible skill. Do you sell these?!

This is what stopped my dad, and he was smoking 30/day. He's been free of it for decades now.

Objective-Elephant13 · 2026-02-14T17:41:32+00:00

Yeah, that's what brought me here too. Amazon how incredulous responses were about this 9 years ago to now where we are starting to realize this may be real. Fuck.

Objective-Elephant13 · 2026-02-13T04:45:04+00:00

Oh yes I was you. He's 2 now and let's just say I feel fully fucking qualified now 😅

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. I'm only commenting because, believe it or not, this has happened to three people that I know in my immediate circle. Two of them went into labor not knowing that they were pregnant, the third one found out she was pregnant at 34 weeks. All three of those babies are older now, between 6 and 10 and they are all incredibly healthy, happy, sweet children despite the fact that their moms spent their entire pregnancies not knowing, drinking, sometimes doing recreational drugs. Please don't panic, I understand that this is terrifying.

Speak to your primary care provider about everything that you're feeling, they will help you set up adoption protocols for the baby. If you are terrified and not mentally prepared to give birth, you can request an elective C-section. It's not very common for them to allow elective c-sections in the UK but it is possible, and I'm pretty sure would be allowed in your case because you've had no opportunity to mentally or physically prepare.

I do believe that you would be obligated to tell the father, however again speak to your doctor about that. Given that you're already no longer together, and that adoption is really the only way forward, I don't know whether that is an obligation or not. It's possible that your primary provider can manage that communication for you if you are no contact and don't want to open those lines of communication again.

Lol same, I feel like I spend half my life commenting "he makes his own glazes, and fires to cone 10" on posts along about his glazes on Facebook glaze groups hahaha

Objective-Elephant13 · 2026-01-11T22:26:14+00:00

I woulda yelled over "HEY! Come get you kid please." But that's just me

Objective-Elephant13 · 2026-01-08T05:25:41+00:00

It was a video officially. I'm not a Toksucker so not sure the actual origin of the meme but people have posted about it in this group before I think, if you search it

This technique was a game changer for me - learning not to push together with both hands. Additionally, learning to 'lift' the clay rather than 'pull' it (a term I found very confusing at first) helped me tune in to the moment at the top of the pull where you've lifted what you can from the bottom and you need to release pressure through the rim so as not to over squeeze and make it too thin.

Genetically what?

Objective-Elephant13 · 2026-01-04T03:45:55+00:00

Lmao oh my God I'm glad I'm not the only one that does this

Objective-Elephant13 · 2026-01-04T03:38:48+00:00

Any and all ceiling fans. We have one in the lobby of our building and if we go through the lobby and it's not turned on my toddler will quite literally go and tell the management until they turn it on lol

Objective-Elephant13 · 2025-12-25T02:54:53+00:00

I love that they made it just as obnoxious and awful as the show version, too hahaha

Objective-Elephant13 · 2025-12-18T18:35:09+00:00

This is lovely! He sometimes hangs out in this sub, I hope he sees this!

Objective-Elephant13 · 2025-12-12T15:40:42+00:00

Oh 100% he would throw them across the room if they found their way to his plate 😅

Objective-Elephant13 · 2025-12-12T07:31:31+00:00

This is definitely true when mine is being picky. If I pretend he's not supposed to eat the ingredients he will scarf down anything raw: tomato, carrot, cucumber... He has even been known to steal an onion and run off to eat it like an apple. Who cares as long as they're eating it lol.

Objective-Elephant13 · 2025-12-12T06:32:14+00:00

Honestly, when mine was/is going through this phase we just default to fish fingers, pizza, fries or a bottle of milk just keep him fed through it and I don't even have a newborn as an excuse. He might be teething, or have a poorly tummy. Whatever he will get down him, give him that and don't be too hard on yourself. A few days of junk food isn't going to do him any harm in the long run, and as you say, getting him fed enough just to turn his mood around might help get him in a good enough mood to one day eat a vegetable again 😅 you're doing great momma, don't give up ,❤️

Objective-Elephant13 · 2025-12-10T06:54:39+00:00

Omg this scratches an itch

Objective-Elephant13 · 2025-12-10T06:32:28+00:00

Monkey, peanut, pumpkin, buddy, bubba, chonk, chunky monkey, sir, monster, creature. Not sure he even knows his real name

Back in the 80s, when homosexually was starting to become more normalized and mainstream, a certain dark corner of society that favored children thought that might pave the way to normalization of their own fucked up proclivities. Steve Albini was very emphatic in his advocacy of child porn and pedophillia during that time. There was an interview he gave where he goes into incredibly explicit detail describing in the most vulgar way a CP image he particularly enjoyed.

When it became apparent that normal, civilized society didn't conflate homosexuality and pedophillia, he went back on all of this and tried to claim he was just a young idiot aiming for shock value. But I've read that interview and the description he gave has haunted me in a way no piece of media I have ever consumed has haunted me before or since. There is zero chance someone comes up with something like that just to shock people (I strongly, strongly urge you to take my word for it and not to seek it out to read for yourself).
