They involve knowing what emotional work is yours and what is not, noticing when you slip into serial fixing or pleaser mode, and being aware of how you speak to yourself.'

VALERIE: So tell me, why the focus on women?
SANKARA: The revolution and women's liberation go together.
We do not talk of women's emancipation as an act of charity or because of a surge of human compassion.
It is a necessity for the triumph of the revolution. [1/2]

'Bridget Riley’s paintings come at you all at once.
They arrest you & they still you.
The longer you look, the more they reveal & the more they seem to change.
As they ensnare you, the more rewarding they become.
“How does she do that?,” might be a 1st thought.'

Bridget Riley: Learning to See review – optical mastery leaves you gasping for air
The artist’s complete control of colour and space ensnares and mesmerises, leaving you lost in a reverie of wonder and surprise. You just can’t look away

also some amazing delft pieces. It's always exciting to see them pop up, they have beautiful form interpretations. I really like the JLZ on the right - I wish this tradition had continued, these potters had a great eye. The pear is excellent, too.
