Zohran Mamdani souhaite l’arrestation de Benjamin Netanyahu s’il se rend à New York

: Il y a un poste qui va bientôt se libérer au 55 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, et si il est disponible à ce moment, il peut envoyer son Cévé, et je pense qu'il a de bonnes chances de passer avec brio l'entretien d'embauche devant le peuple de France.
Oui, mais j'ai écouté une interview où il dit clairement qu'il va agir dans la légalité. Si Netanyahu a l'immunité diplomatique pour aller aux Nations Unies, il ne pourra pas être arrêté.

A couple favorite Earth Tone pots from my last kiln load. I sent them to a gallery this week for an upcoming show. The theme is geometric patterning. I can’t wait to see the work from the other makers. It will be very cool to see everyone’s pottery grouped together—unique, yet united by a common theme. #pottery #ceramics #WildClay

I’ve been making bedside water bottles for years but I don’t make them very often. They’re inspired by Mexican botellones—small clay water jugs with an accompanying cup which serves as a cover. Sometimes the cup has a handle. I’ve also discovered a Congolese version of the botellón. It’s such a simple and effective idea that it’s no surprise it would appear in multiple cultures. #pottery #ceramics #beautility

I love the simple sophistication of these garden irrigation tools. Ollas are one of those ancient technologies that probably have multiple origins—different groups across space and time figuring out a similar technique. I’ve read about their historic use in China, Central & South America and North Africa.
Working on ollas is great practice for me. It’s a return to the basic technique of pulling a cylinder, which is the first skill you acquire when learning to throw pots on the wheel.

what would you say is the smallest size one could find or make? I'm thinking of pot sized, if they would make sense...
@mdione I’m sorry, but I don’t understand the question and don’t know what “pot sized” means. There is no limit to how small one could make an olla. The smallest size I make holds about a pint. One of the points of an olla is to reduce the labor of watering. I would say the contents of an olla should last at least one week to be considered effective. Would a very small olla accomplish this? What are we calling “small”?
yeah, sorry, I meant "so small it would fit in a pot and still leave enough space for plants". Alternatively, which is the smallest pot that would reasonably hold an olla.

It’s not really hot tea season anymore but I felt like practicing my #teapot making skills—and yes, I still consider it practice. I’m always tweaking the design.
With this iteration, I thickened the handle for comfort & durability, as I’ve been doing with my mugs and pitchers. I also added a lid catch that you can barely see beneath the rim, to the right of the knob.
The bodies of my teapots are modeled after African water pots.

Teapot still hot from the kiln 🔥 a successful kiln load is a great way to end the week. I haven’t gone through every piece yet, but there are always a couple of pots in the mix with glaze imperfections, which is to be expected. From what I can see so far, everything looks really good. I can see all of the time, effort, patience and detail I put into every single piece. Have a good weekend, everyone!

I’m having another open studio event this Saturday. Just wanted to share what my studio looks like. It’s the garage behind our house, converted into a #pottery workshop. That’s a wood fired #RocketKiln in front and I have electric kilns inside. I could run my biz solely online (and I was grateful to during early pandemic era, 2020-2021) but that feels strange since my pottery pulls so much from my surroundings. It only makes sense to share it with other people who live here. #Florida

@PaulWay @treleanor in the context of the person behaving poorly being someone you have a personal connection to, calling it in can be an effective way to change their behaviour because it’s less shaming. It’s hard for people to imagine themselves doing better when they’re feeling shame. But if it’s not someone you can have a conversation with, and you don’t know anyone else who could do it, there isn’t an option other than call it out or let it go. Sometimes people reach a point where they just can’t let it go, and they need to name the problem behaviour.

A fairer punishment would have been a minimum jail sentence but on top of that a life sentence that would be commuted once the $3B are returned, by himself or associates (e.g. his family). But that would require a change in law.
