Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
That's Earth.

Just an insane amount of work, but this is for the final lab for my glaze chemistry course. I'll be firing these tomorrow. Once they're done, I'll have to photograph them all and then upload them to the class website for our final class live chat on the 30th.

This is Radley. She asks to "destroy" when she needs to let out extra energy. "She gets plenty of walks and physical activity," her family told us, "but she uses her destroy button when she is craving a little extra chaos." 13/10 (IG: radley_barkley)

So these two mega-billionaires—who supported Trump as he opposed meaningful loan forgiveness for tens of millions of young people because Trump has increased their net worth immeasurably—are donating an infinitesimal portion of their wealth to help a few kids turn $250 into $700 over 18 years?
WOW.
WOW.

Currently binge-watching my latest set of glaze chemistry lectures and a) it's utterly fascinating and I understand so much more now, and b) it's keeping me off the bloody doomscroll, which is nice. Learning stuff is fun.

Firing the kiln. Cone 6 glaze firing to finish up ~50 test tiles for my glaze chem course. Got a little ahead of the game so finished up Labs 3 and 4 so I could fire them at the same time, and prepped 21 additional tiles to test 7 whole other glazes I'm playing with on all 3 of my clay bodies.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Working my way through the glaze chemistry course I'm taking. Batched up Lab 3 glaze experiments today. Very fiddly measurements (I have a scale that does hundredths of grams, so could actually be pretty precise). I'll do a final mix and sieve them out tomorrow. Will fire these probably Thursday.

Taking PTO tomorrow and Friday to participate in a local wood kiln firing. It's gonna be cold, but totally worth it for the opportunity to talk pots with other potters while chucking wood into a kiln.

Hey photography pals -- Flickr is overpriced garbage at this point, so I'm looking for a new place to host photos that isn't just a file listing system like Google Drive. What are the best options (ideally free, but < $10/mo would do)?
