#Meta has blocked this graphic from being posted via WhatsApp and possibly other Meta platforms. We don’t know why. It says: “THE WORLD NEEDS #BRAZIL. THE WORLD STANDS WITH #LULA.” Share it if you can.

The image of a hand signing the “L” in Lula - “The world needs Brazil. The World stand with Lula.”

Nothing new, but I'm disappointed. Many years ago, Linux represented the alternative. The question was: "Why don't you just use Windows? It's easier." And the answer was, almost always: "To be free." The "bazaar" spirit of Linux and its distributions made us feel free. Personally, I've always […]

The image features two decorative lamps with unique designs. The larger lamp on the left has a textured, light blue and brown surface with geometric patterns. The smaller lamp on the right has a vibrant design in dark orange, green, and brown zig zags. Each lamp features a tall, ringed neck.

I finished a load of #pottery yesterday, including these two lamp bases. I love the way they came out: one funky little Earth Tone lamp for a desk or nightstand and the other more subtle but still highly decorative. They’re at the lamp shop getting wired.

A collection of decorative pottery pieces displayed on a worktable. The foreground features two lamp bases: a small, round form with intricate patterns in dark orange, brown, and light green triangles, and a taller, form with a textured surface, a light blue diamond pattern and a tall light blue neck with rings.
