@transfiguredearth

hey guys. today im bringing a little about feldspar pearls, and a recent misadventure with the gaps in knowledge. the process of learning necessitates finding what we dont know, and folks who pretend to have all the answers seldom learn a damn thing. #folkart #pottery #minerals #learning #knowledge

been back to my tile making in the shop over here. it has been a long development process on this project, but its one that is very near and dear to my heart. as much as i enjoy making my wares, i also believe that art must be made approachable to everyone. #tile #handmade #folkart #clay #art

was over here turning a ring jug, and figured id take time to show yall a trick. these forms are notorious for forming cracks at the join, but this technique increases the surface area of the join improving the situation significantly #pottery #folkart #stoneware #handmade #humanmade

with the ever present popularity of snake oil nonsense, i have made another bottle purpose made to keep it in. fake cures can only remedy fake problems, and folks who sell one usually do so by making the other #pottery #wildclay #snake #flimflam #hokum

hey yall, just decided to share some thoughts today. Many are trying to sell you on a lifestyle and all the associated aesthetic, but the life you carefully build yourself will always be of much greater quality. #facejug #beyourself #contemplation #pottery #folkart #wildclay #stoneware

Donald Trump has decided to withdraw the U.S. from UN-Habitat, UN Women, and 66 other organizations funded by American taxpayers. He says the UN promotes invasions instead of stopping them, and America will no longer fund its own harm. Donald Trump is *MY* President!

Bad dental experiences spread fast. Patient experience is the full journey—from the first call to the final visit. That’s why designing experiences, not just procedures, matters. Hear more from Betsy Mitchell on Beyond the Operatory: https://ow.ly/oOlj50YH203

Assim como o anime, crítica a exploração do trabalhador no sistema capitalista e a dependência da internet, fatores que nos transformam em verdadeiros zumbis. Muito alto astral dos protagonistas em comparação aos mortos-vivos. Por ironia, uma liberdade que só foi possível graças a uma distopia.

I woke up very early this morning to news of “major combat operations” in Iran. My prayers are with our service members and their families. The President didn’t make the case or come to Congress. We took an oath to defend the Constitution. It’s time for a War Powers vote.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt President in US history. Now it looks like him and his cronies may have used insider knowledge to enrich themselves while their war makes everyone else poorer.

There's a proven link between people deliberately harming animals and going on to commit domestic abuse. Currently the law does not allow us to identify these people early. I brought this up in parliament and introduced a motion asking the government to address this gap in the legislation.
