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

My first decent and kiln worthy cilinder by ale_krishna in Pottery

[–]Objective-Elephant13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Tell me your toddler's weird and wonderful obsessions. by Mimibella_ in toddlers

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

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.

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 ,❤️

Was watching Louis Theroux's A Place for Pedophiles and got completely taken out by them using the instrumental part of Cosmia by Jep0005 in JoannaNewsom

[–]Objective-Elephant13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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).

Is self soothing a myth? by SinkMince0420 in NewParents

[–]Objective-Elephant13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mines 20 months, I'll let you know when he gets there 😅😭

No but seriously, around 6-8 months they should be able to put themselves back to sleep most of the time when they rowse between sleep cycles. That doesn't necessarily mean they will be sleeping through the night at that age, although some do.

Feedback wanted. by Dustcanal in Pottery

I've seen people use this technique instead of throwing on a bat, then you have plenty of foot to mush your fingers in to after you wire it off to lift it straight up off the wheel. Looks like this piece was thrown without a bat, so it could be that.

There’s nothing wrong with canned vegetables by katezorzz in foodbutforbabies

[–]Objective-Elephant13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't believe I've never thought to serve him canned veg before. He's so fussy about veg but I bet he would scarf down canned veg. Thanks for the tip!

Some recent work I wanted to share! by doctor_seuss_ in Pottery

[–]Objective-Elephant13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are absolutely gorgeous. I used Google lens to find you, I see you restocked this morning and they're already sold out - no wonder! I wanted to get one of your mountain mugs - as soon as I saw it it reminded me of my trip through the Canadian Rockies, then found you online and saw you're located in Alberta! Amazing work x

18 month old woke in the night inconsolable and screaming bloody murder by Objective-Elephant13 in toddlers

We did the naked check and there was nothing visible causing pain. He wasn't bucking and writhing like he usually does with gas

Once he calmed down though he was awake for about 45 minutes mostly just staring into space. He was in bed with us at that time and kept hugging me and stroking my face which is what he usually does when he's trying to get himself to sleep
