Listening to Kamala Harris's book and I both respect her more as a human being and have more conviction she shouldn't run again. You can't talk about fundraising with sororities as a key campaign move when you're making a pitch to people who can't make rent.

I feel like cultural work now requires a little AI-free icon. Here at Paige enterprises, we only use hand cultivated thinking. My art and texts are harvested from the singularity of my experience in small batches.

Thinking of that part in the Iliad when Odysseus came up with a crafty plan to present the Trojans with a jet liner and say it's a gift.

This raku piece 'Hera's Heart' reminds us of loves complexities this Valentine's Day.
Hera’s heart, in flames entwined,
Emerald and copper, power combined.
A queen unyielding, bold and strong,
Of passion, trials, and love’s song.
Cracked by flame, but never torn,
A goddess crowned, in fire reborn.

Ceramic bell pepper came out much darker and shinier than the test tile led me to believe but I kinda love it? The joy and terror of #ceramics is that the kiln will do as it may.
