At the studio yesterday, once again reminded that a) it's all process and b) what level my skills are (low) 😂 Ah, dreams of decoration must wait until I can actually throw and trim pieces in a reliable way 🙈 #pottery

Distracting myself from the fact I can't get to the studio today and life in general by having too many ideas about decorative techniques I have no experience in, while also not being skillful enough to produce the forms on which I could try them out 😂 #pottery

I love both the insight we get from the physical objects that are such records, & the access from making them digital. If it only were possible to touch them all in person…

“With AI you never have to draw, paint or write again!” Why does that prospect excite you? We were put on this earth to think and create. Some people are so eager to be liberated from joy.

Our class has decided we need to add the following equipment: 1. A fish spatula (for removing plates from bats) 2. A jar, to collect some of the beautiful slip we generate. #potterysky Also...

Watching yet another hockey game where the team that has been outplayed most of regulation pulls its goaltender and then gets scored on again. Pulling the goalie if your team is not competitive in front of them is a useless move, friends 😜

I doubt I will ever set eyes on a more creative bit of recycling.

Just finished #amreading This Is How You Start a Time War by El-Mohtar and Gladstone. I wasn't really sure what I was reading for so much of it and also I couldn't stop turning pages! Unusual, fascinating, riveting. 🤩 📚💙

The hardest part of writing an evaluation for me is the scope: I always want to include All The Thoughts, but of course that's not the brief, plus it would also be overwhelming 😅 #editorslife #writingsky 📚

Can anyone tell me why the Discover feed is 99% populated by accounts I already follow? I'd have thought they'd want me to "discover" something new 🤔

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

This has also been a week. Whew. Sliding into the weekend by reading Cue the Sun! by Emily Nussbaum, a "rollicking saga of reality television," obviously 🤓 📚💙

Really interesting thread. I'm taken with the idea of why good guys seem so "cringe" -- they're rule followers, supporting the system that produces the villains. Will be thinking about this more for sure. #writingcommunity ✒️

Finished #amwriting those new scenes! I have a few details to finalize, copyedit notes to input, and then a wait & reread... But I think the writing part of this story might actually be... done! I have said this before though 😅 So TBD

Went to a couple art stores today, ostensibly for pottery supplies. Found myself lingering in the charcoal / pencil section, as per usual. I still don't know where I got the willpower to leave with only the pottery tools 🙈
