Newly thrown porcelain bowl.

I dare you all to post something unrelated to work!

Today I threw something on the wheel for the first time in a while. I made something, just not the thing I had planned to make, it suddenly flared out and became a bowl instead of a jar. Oh well.

"Denial of a wanted abortion has both immediate and lasting effects. It increases a womanโ€™s risk of death by 2.5 p.p within nine months, mainly due to unsafe abortion procedures, and raises the likelihood of carrying the pregnancy to term by 31 p.p. "

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz I wanted to share this quote from Prime Levi:

"Auschwitz is outside of us, but it is all around us, in the air. The plague has died away, but the infection still lingers and it would be foolish to deny it....

Linda Gail Lewis - Wikipedia

Ok so Jerry Lee Lewis's SISTER Linda Gail Lewis has been rockin' since the 60s. How many of you knew that?

Nine percent of those in the Rock-'n'-roll Hall of Fame are women.

If you're in Sweden, see the documentary 'Rock chicks' on SVT Play!
