The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦 ✊

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it. This is the way…

My first attempt at a moon jar. 12lbs of Vegas Buff (which is a lovely claybody to work with) and I pulled it to ~9” or so. I pulled the base too far out and couldn’t correct the curve well enough before the shoulder thinned. Next one will be better.

All trimmed up!

I marbled about 8lbs of Rods Bod and Rio Red and threw this lovely bottle form that I’m pretty chuffed over. A student said “it looks like when you stir up a Thai Iced Tea” - and damnit if that’s not the best description 🤣 15 inches tall from 16lbs - going to go for taller next time.

Some forms I’m working on for an advanced throwing class I’m taking at Green&Bisque Clayhouse - throw forms that are at least 10” and alter them somehow; 3 altered and 3 ready to be altered (more) once they’ve dried out a bit.
