Weather apps suck? Go to the source: Weather.gov >look up your zip>Forecast Discussion! It's technical but comes from a real live local meteorologist AND these nerds, especially the night shift, get punchy so can be a real hoot. I once read a haiku forecast about rain but sadly no screenshot.

Pottery progress today on my weird little jar buddies. Porcelain teeth continue to be highly entertaining.

Friday night pottery studio time was a good call. This is the roughest of rough drafts but still cracking me up. Can't wait to get some porcelain slip on refined teeth to take the creep factor up a notch. Tooth line is the jar lid line so top but will lift off.

I think the most incredible thing to me about the Ruth Asawa show at SF MoMA wasn't the famed wire work (which is still so fucking cool and impressive) but the awe inspiring confidence and clarity in her drawing and paintings. So crisp and clean and controlled but still whimsical.

A good day getting these out of the kiln. Little jar friends and a bird bath with landing stick for the wee ones. Now, if only the birds would get excited about my pottery as I am.

The office of Gavin Newsom's phone number is:
(916) 445-2841
You can call him just like you call your representatives.
If you are disgusted by his conscious and intentional betrayal of us all, by cozying up with nazi Charlie Kirk and offering up trans people for slaughter, please tell him.

Got a printer? You can start fighting fascism. Here's a thread of things you can print and distribute. 👇
I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.

The Bay Area weather radar (KMUX) has been out of service for more than 24 hours now. An expensive broken part needs to be replaced and specially ordered, but that may not be possible due to ongoing freeze on government credit card spending, I’ve been told.
