The previous series of birth control pills are sold out and now I have these guys. They are available over-the-counter because they’re progestin-only, no estrogen, also knows as “mini-pills.” They’re also more difficult to use you need to be very careful to take them at the same time every day. But nice that the FDA approved an over-the-counter birth control pill available in every state! I got these at the first Planned Parenthood I ever went to in Salt Lake City, Utah! I later worked at one in upstate NY.
$50 will be donated to Planned Parenthood with your purchase of the bronze birth control pills, in your name if you’d like!
Poop Emoji
The "poop emoji" in bronze! I call it "poop-emoji" and not just “poop" because of the idealized 3D rendition, courtesy of a poop-shaped plastic Easter egg available at the 99 Cent store a few years ago. I love that the poop is a golden spiral… a logarithmic spiral governed by the golden ratio in nature… galaxies, shells, some spider webs, cactus… also knows as the “Divine Proportion.” I had a fun wide-ranging discussion about all this as well as “math broccoli” and “Ophiocordyceps," aka cordyceps, aka zombie ant fungus #thelastofus with a fun couple at my Palm Springs pop-up at @palmcanyongalleeria in February… #goldenspiral #fibonaccisequence #fibonaccispiral #branchingfractals
As a wise young person @loistryk once put on a protest sign at the Women’s March @womensmarch after Trump’s inauguration in 2017: “A Poop is Better Than Trump!”

These nesting bronze dishes have been around about as long as Pearce Bronze in various iterations… I originally called them “cairns” in reference to the stacking rocks used to mark a hiking trail. They’re known as “pinch pots” due to the age-old process of pinching a lump of clay into a shape… which I did for the sold-out Westman Atelier collaboration in 2025 which included the lovely WA heart insignia.
