Your glazing is phenomenal here!

There's something about these straight on shots with the pod save boys that's so democrat. I feel like I'm watching them get a passport photo taken.

Initially Rani Mukerji was considered for the principal lead, but due to scheduling conflicts with Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, the role then went to Tabu. Nair initially considered Abhishek Bachchan for the role of Gogol, but Kal Penn was strongly recommended by her son, Zohran Mamdani, who was a fan of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle; Penn had previously

Thinking about how Kal Penn ended up cast in The Namesake

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.

Where the Internet Goes When It’s Down — Civics of Technology Today, we have a midweek blog post from Trent Wintermeier on a timely event Trent Wintermeier is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Rhetoric and Writing at the University of Texas at Austin. His r...

"The impression that the internet is 'down' opens up moments for rhetorical action: to reconsider our dependency on platforms that require environmental injury, to create learning experiences beyond the centralization of our digital landscape," writes @trentwintermeier.bsky.social.

So tired I think I need that Panera Bread lemonade that kills you 😵‍💫

Canvas being down feels like it should trigger a digital snow day.❄️☃️❄️

These are a delight! I love how the handle wiggles echo the body of the mug. 😍

I like your accompanying cat art on the walls.

I'm really into opera these days. I think somehow somewhere Andrea Bocelli wants us to be okay.

A round ceramic jar and three cups with vines etched in the side.

Pleased with the glazing on these pots. Wish me luck when I try to sell them at a local craft fair!

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.

Why is every cute swimsuit $300???

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.

I like the public speaking component. I also don't think timed writing makes sense, but maybe the final draft, completed on their own time, is handwritten? We do it when teaching at the prison and I find the work to be more thoughtful, but that could be because the students are very invested.

Is it too chaotic to just make everything handwritten (with obvious exceptions for disability )? I'm tempted next semester.

All The Women I Met in Jail A law meant to help victims of domestic violence often results in their arrest. One woman details surviving abuse and the system that claimed to protect her.

All, most of you know by now what happened to me in February.

I've written an essay about this for @harpersbazaar.uol.com.br.web.brid.gy, and I hope you'll give it a read:

I love conference posts. People write "this panel is 🔥🔥🔥 🤩" and then it's a photo of four people visibly suffering under florescent light.

After Booker I'm gonna need every democrat to get in there and rotate off the filibuster for the next four years.

Gotta love how all the lines in the road disappear when wet

Refusing to read this article so I can continue imagining this guy is just obsessed with his Baldur's Gate 3 romance

emily bloom's I Cannot Control Everything Forever is maybe the best book i've read all year, i cannot stop thinking about it

There’s a pair of ox like beasts, one with a moon on its back and the other with a sun. Small cloud bits are scattered around.

Choose 20 pots or ceramic pieces that you have made. One pot per day for 20 days, in no particular order.

It’s been fun to look back themes I repeat in my work.

What a pot!

Stoneware slug mates. Who decided some bugs are pests and some aren't?

My first solo-authored article is up now in RSQ! This piece was a dream to work on. I'm so humbled by the generosity of the RSQ reviewers and editors, and even more sure that my crackerjack home team of friends + colleagues is the best in the game. Check it out! bit.ly/hhopkinsrsq

Blue ceramic cup with geometric design.

Ceramic sculptures of a life size gourd and heirloom tomato.

A few things came out of the kiln that I'm pleased with. My geometric cup came out nicely and I am amassing more vegetables that will never rot on the counter! #ceramics
