A grey cat stands proudly on a red pillow with gold leaf design. The pillow is atop a white wooden rocking chair, the throne of said cat.

Inspired by ancient reverence for cats, I've created 'Felines of Antiquity,' a raku vase that honours their timeless, divine charm and enduring diva attitudes.

Does your cat act like a god or goddess? Mine certainly does!

Less conservatives pretending to be democrats please

We need someone more like AOC.

Donald Trump, the stable genius of the Republican Party.

Donald Trump is the world’s biggest bully.

History remembers Custer's Last Stand. But the Cheyenne remember who knocked him off his horse. Her name was Buffalo Calf Road Woman, and eight days earlier she'd ridden into gunfire to save her brother's life. #history

The only thing I am surprised about is that it is not the golden arches and he is getting paid by McDonalds.

I wonder if the new head of DHS will continue on with the important responsibility of sleeping with Corey Lewd-owski?

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

I am just glad we no longer have to pay for her sky sex palace for her and her assistant to cheat on their partners.

Botox brownies anyone?

Not really a surprise.

An image of a raku fired vase that has a tiered pedestal. It has shimmery irridescent greens, gold, blues reds and violets and some matte black areas from the reduction material.

A view of the other side of the vase.

This is a photo of the raku process. Several vases being placed in the flames, in a reduction bin. They are all on fire, as is the material in the bin.

Inspired by the cosmos. Born from the flames of raku. A symphony of light and movement captured.

'Skyfire' draws it inspiration from the shimmery irridescent greens, reds, golds and violets of the northern lights.

A well-preserved Roman leather shoe with elaborate cutout patterns. The design features a high ankle and open section

An adorable #Roman shoe, made for a #baby too young to walk. The shoe imitates the footwear of Roman soldiers (caligae). The cut-out design would have shown off the kid’s socks!

From Bordeaux, dating 1st/2nd AD.

Made me think of this for some reason lol 😂

Remember 9/11? This is how you cause another attack like that.

The Dow is now WAY below 50,000. Release all the Epstein files, Pam.

If he wants to start Armageddon, then let's make sure all the those fighting in the US side are Christian nationalists. The pastors. their kids, and their donations.
They'd never agree to the last one.

Let me get this straight: we gutted every social service to fund the military, and the military is running out of missiles in less than a week?

American soldiers are being killed because the president doesn’t want you to know that he raped little children for decades. And if I’m wrong, sue me, asshole.

Maybe he will try and use bleach on it.

I wonder if there are any STIs that leave a rash on the neck?

Mary L. Trump:
"We are in a war of Donald's choosing. Scores of Iranian children are dead; six American service members are dead. The depraved man responsible for those deaths went on a tangent about his gold curtains and his $400 million ballroom because those are his priorities."
