Someone please tell me the angle of the scammers that email wanting to β€œpurchase” work (with a check no less) yet asking for details such as seen in these phishing scams. Just to waste my time? See how gullible I am? Will they propose a money transfer if I provide my account details? Disgusting.

He is truly a gift to all who clay ! I use his 1216L recipe & have used digitalfire heavily as a resource for a while! It’s wonderful 🀩

Believe it or not, I might finally be dialed into this trick! Quad full cab (fakie 360 to coping) πŸ”“ achievement unlocked πŸ˜†

Time to change my website payment processor to ANYTHING ELSE. Unfortunately my Squarespace tech friend tells me that their own branded processor still uses Stripe for payments on some level, they just don’t disclose that. This is what monopolies look like. We are in a new robber baron era.

Well… as a renter this entire life I gotta say I’m both confused & a bit dismayed but maybe a tad relieved ? Fuck my feelings 🫠 This is a hellscape πŸ‘Ώ

I lived on Capitol Hill for a while in a building with a bunch of interns. They told me they tally ALL forms of contact on any given issue & it does make a difference. So I don’t think it matters: email vs phone call. It gets counted. In DC I had no representation- now I do. I use #resistbot #resist

For some hope in the madness, here are works of mine I salvaged and saved that survived the #Helene flood. I often think about everything floating up inside Marquee & how it became this weird muddy art soup mixing all our dreams and work together. We are stronger than destruction. We will overcome.

To clarify, I didn’t have neck pain at all. Looking down over time pinches nerves & cushioning between vertebra out, -> arm pain/weakness is the result. Manual therapy (ASTYM) did nothing. Strengthening didn’t get results. It took about 2 months of PT with one basic exercise. Better now! Good luckπŸ€

I was in PT for arm pain presenting as tennis elbow. No success or improvement until the 3rd PT who, taking points from what didn’t work previously, started treating my neck. It was all coming from my neck from looking down all the time. We potters look down a lot! A simple exercise has been the fix

It’s true though exactly how long it will take will also depend on funds. Super nice thing is they’ll be giving those of us who vended there dibs on our original spaces. So when we come back our customers will see us in our familiar spot πŸ₯°
Now to decide if I’ll keep the same look or change πŸ¦‹

This is in #quadskating a β€œfull cab” attempt. A fakie (backwards) 360 landing on coping. The toe boost is a cheat, & ain’t the trick (but is cute).
I can do this landing on 1 foot, & 180 to 2, or 2 feet land then 180 to coping.
But airing & landing the 360 clean (& consistently) is the real trick!

I turn 50 this year. I started rollerskating in skate parks at age 40.
When I learned about I was bored with my regular skating & was inspired by others taking off, no longer bound to flat surfaces! It was so exciting & liberating!
Let’s see a #quadtrickoftheweek get going πŸ›Ό

I’ve had separate IG accounts 4 my 2 passions: pottery & rollerskating. FB was for more personal stuff. But tbh I’ve had enough people cross follow me, I’ve lost so many connections all over due to the algorithm, I’ve disliked everything so separate… so now

Anyone else stuck in functional freeze? I swear I shut down every January after the stress of the holiday season & w/ the stress of having to focus on taxes & financials. I’m trying to do better at all this but this past show season was doozy here in flood-struck western NC 😣 I’m not even making rn

A Siamese chocolate point ragdoll kitty lounging on a cat tree hammock-shaped  level that has a pet-safe electric heating pad on it. She is stretched out with her face towards the window & a view of my bird feeder and the mountains.

Another kitty image of her on her side, stretched with a paw out, her fluffy belly evident, & her ears barely visible through all the fluff.

Truly. The whole Foundy Street was my Mecca. It embodied everything a city should have: such unique art & culture. It’s a wasteland now but I expect a glorious renaissance. I hold hope in my heart for the joy at seeing our beloved #riverartsdistrict restored & reborn πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯

A view into the Marquee building: dark but you can see all the way through to the other side of this 50,000 square foot space. At the entrance a frame which looks like a movie poster has a spray painted eye weeping tears.

A couple of pics from my visit to my old retail venue of Marquee & favorite part of the River Arts District in Asheville. A lot of folks get sad here. I felt a passing wave of grief but mostly I just miss this place and still love it even when it looks this bad.
