A potter inspired by nature in Maine. My website is open for anyone who would like to buy some stickers or pre-order pots. I need some more kiln furniture to really get back to production!

Re-creating the complex cuisine of prehistoric Europeans SEM analysis of pottery residues showed people combined fish with a wide variety of plants when cooking.

This is incredibly interesting β€” archaeologists have been able to reconstruct the diets of different prehistoric Europeans from 5,000-8,000 years ago by analyzing the charred remains of food in clay pots. Extremely cool!

With what is hopefully the last part I need installed, my bisque should get up to proper temp tomorrow. Luckily my Throwdown challenge work has actually been pretty large scale, so I don't think it's going to be totally insane trying to fill the kiln.

I must be insane, but I think I'm going to try and fire three times within the next two weeks. Two bisque and a glaze, all to be done in time for a show on March 21st.

In all honesty, the bullshit that has already been 2026, absolutely no one should judge day drinking on a weekday. πŸ˜†

I've said it before, the absolute last shred of dignity and respectability in the Republican Party died with John McCain.

It's absolutely against protocol for her to be using her phone and posting this too. This isn't Judge Judy, this case is not supposed to be public.

Forget about ID. We need a certification in basic civics. Free, done in <10 minutes online, at the library, or by fucking Scantron at the polls. If you can't pass a 3rd grade level quiz, you don't have the ability to vote responsibly and you don't get to make that a burden on the rest of us.

And yet you're somehow still confused.

Can you read? Literally spelled out in crayons, in the simplest terms possible, EXACTLY why. It's not hard. It's not a mystery, you're choosing to be a dumbass.

I literally just explained why. He says some of the right things, and on a surface level seems like he's for the people. The alternative is more geriatrics. It's not a mystery why, but what we SHOULD be doing is applying some basic critical thinking skills, not accepting him at face value.

Listen to what he says about the tattoo, and the podcasts he listens to, and his views on the queer community. He's problematic in ways you're desperate to ignore because he's saying the right things sometimes. We don't trust his words because his actions don't align.

Floral Sculpture

My phone apparently doesn't have "enough storage" to keep up with weekly videos, and I was under the weather a few days so we're a bit behind on the making, but I think the floral sculpture is going to be pretty cool #pottersofbluesky #throwdown #challenge #handmade

The shooters weren't "targeting Christians" or testing anyone's faith. The moment could have come from Hollywood honestly, when someone mentions God in the middle of such a horrific event and the killer wonders out loud if they're prepared to meet them.

Her faith had literally nothing to do with the shooting, this is such an abhorrent thing to do honestly. Her parents should be deeply ashamed to have desecrated her like this, making her a prop for their persecution complex.

My first batch of whistles. I went pretty far in the direction of ocarinas but will steer back towards emergency whistles in the next batch. Also testing some black and white slips to paint them.

Starting tomorrow, you can watch fish traffic via an underwater camera livestreaming from an Utrecht canal. If you spot waiting 🐟, you can ping an operator to open the Weerdsluis lock gate & let them through. Highly recommend this for easing elevated stress levels, or if you just like helping fish

Polaris the Bear combines the magic of raku with the feeling of first snow on a starry night: crisp air, soft light, and that moment winter asks you to slow down.

A small reminder to breathe, wander, and let the season settle in, for soon spring will come.

Fun fact! If you share this starter pack around, the really cool artists in it will get more followers, and I think that’s really neat πŸ₯°

CHINA:

"The US is a war addict. Throughout its over 240-year history, it has been at war for all but 16 years.

The US has 800 overseas military bases in over 80 countries and regions.

The US is the main cause of international disorder, global turbulence, and regional instability."

Trump is VERY clearly looking for claims of foreign interference to serve as a basis to declare a national emergency and usurp control of the election. This is how he's going to try and do it. Trump is nothing if not self-interested; he's doing this to help himself and consolidate his grip on power.

Then today, as the US bombed Iran, Trump posted: "Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with United States."

Just days ago, we found out that Trump is circulating an executive order claiming that China interfered in the 2020 election as a pretext to declare a national emergency and ultimately to declare extraordinary presidential powers over voting.

The fact that he continues to breathe is enough punishment on its own.

Flowers need bees

Coffee pots need pourovers

The smaller one still needs a trim to fit the gallery

Have to wait until it's drier

Otherwise it'll shrink overmuch, rattle about

A tolerance of a mm or two, no more

Patience, patience

Yeah, if anything that's an even more ignorant take than your first one. If you can't handle it, just go away. The rest of us don't care that you're tired of politics.

Politics have never existed in a vacuum. Existence is political, and your ignorance to that fact is a privilege. Politics and social platform are one and the same.
