A beige pottery with two handles and a narrow neck, decorated with intricate dark brown patterns depicting a stylized octopus. The vessel is displayed on a white pedestal in a museum setting.

On display at National Museum Copenhagen.
A lovely weekend to all of you!

A big radicalizing factor to me was talking to people who work in harm reduction and their patients. Most of the people who were struggling with drug use had not been hugged in years. Someone received a bathrobe and cried because they had not felt something soft in so long. I can't forget.
