A wise old rat once said: "Knowing it is good to be a studio rat is the beginning of all wisdom."

The new White House has already deleted dozens of environmental justice websites and reports. Worry not, they’re all backed up on various independent university websites. eelp.law.harvard.edu/tracker-type...

As I shared last week, the US's first National Nature Assessment has been shut down: but the authors, led by @phillevin.bsky.social, are determined to continue. Read more: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/c...

The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study “too important to die.”

I downloaded ALL my images from Instagram!!! You don't have to loose your images/ memories. I know the attachment. It's hard - I don't yet love this platform. Being here is a VOTE for something different.

Here's a work from 2019 called Crossroads Cacti II. The base of the form is 3D printed.

A lot of inspiration for my ceramics comes from nature. Insects have been prevelant in my work for the past several years. The encounter with this Luna moth is something I will never forget. I didn't realize how vibrant their colors are.

Looks like it is time for a mass migration of artists. Going to Blysky.
