A day of conflict and inner conflict.
I need to learn, I need to research, I need to absorb, quickly a great deal of information.
Instagram is awash at the moment with information on what to read, who to follow, where to donate, where and how best to protest. I am grateful for this as I wouldn't have so quickly had this information without IG. But I don't feel comfortable pointing people in any direction, I don't feel qualified. Now is the time for me to listen and learn. To follow people who are going to help me learn. To donate where I'm advised. To join protests where I'm able. I know enough to know I know nothing, and now is the time for me to show my solidarity, not by telling others what they should do and how, but to bow my head and re educate myself. This is NOT silence. It is respect.
I will always be grateful if anyone has recommendations of people to follow and literature. 🙏

I need educating. The horrors occurring in the USA

I need educating. The horrors occurring in the USA today have not come out of nowhere. The history of black and minority groups being oppressed by white people has a long and shameful history. My feeling is that well meaning privileged white people feel appalled at the racism and violence committed against those communities but don't know what to do about it. So they stay silent. Partly perhaps because they (I) are afraid of getting it wrong, partly perhaps because they (I) are afraid of virtue signalling. The result is a hurtful, painful silence. Those oppressed communities need to know who is with them, they won't unless we are vocal. I Am afraid of saying the wrong thing, if I do offend anyone then please do pick me up on it and I will learn and try to do better. As well as these books (and many more) I intend to seek out many more of those voices on Instagram that will educate me. I will do a separate post on those accounts and on what we can practically do to offer our support and financial aid.

Sod's law. Very occasionally I do specific pieces

Sod's law. Very occasionally I do specific pieces for people. To allow for the occasional mishaps that occur in ceramics I always do 2 of each piece. What are the chances of Both pieces cracking?? (Or otherwise being cocked up...) So I now need to make 2 more of these large Orange Roughy and kelp. Also I have so far made Four of that particular rook, (swipe to see) with those particular wings, flying in that direction for particular order!! First 2 both had slight anomalies on the glaze then one cracked in bisque firing, it's ok I thought, there's still one left. Came to glaze it and realised I hadn't named and signed it 🙄😣😭 Oh well, worse things happen at sea as my Granny used to say 🤪
