I am pleased with the flower detail on this pot, but the green glaze is much darker than expected. I see the point of making test tiles
... but I don't have my own kiln (yet) #pottery #ceramics #keramiek #handmade ceramicart

My ceramic heart shaped box is finished. The glaze on the outside was supposed to be white. I guess, the layer should have been thicker.

The diary of Anne Frank is now banned in many Florida school districts. Could that be, because they support the prosecution and deportation of minorities?

Japanese wine berries. Even more delicious than raspberries. Taste is somewhere in-between raspberry and red currants. Spines are very prickly.

Ancient people cared for their sick and disabled clan members, which scientists view as a sign of civilization.
Today, we have access to excellent healthcare; however, the Trump administration has made it less accessible for many people. Trump's level of civilization is far below that of cavemen

In a military museum in Luxembourg. This tiny country was occupied during ww2. People resisted, either actively or a bit more subtle. It is inspiring. #resist #Luxembourg #ww2 #resistance #nazi
An image of a text in a military museum in Luxembourg. "The silent majority hesitant and passive, yet capable of collective opposition ". People were wearing a pin to indicate their protest.
