I got a job as the tree tender for my local park but the only way to get to the trees was through a machine that composts tree waste. I got fired for getting to the trees through the front door.

all this stuff (and more!) is waiting for the kiln but two of the studio’s kilns are down ugh. I’m gonna sneak as much as possible into a bisque kiln on Tuesday and hopefully someone will have a glaze firing sometime in April with room to spare. otherwise it might not get fired until Mayyy 😭

hopefully they get the kilns back online quickly 🤞🏼

Mexican Firing Squad !

2 oz. tequila

0.75 oz. lime juice

0.75 oz. grenadine

2 dashes Angostura Bitters

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake hard for six to eight seconds. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice and garnish with a lime wheel, or if you’re feeling festive and want to do it as Baker suggests, “garnish with a slice of orange, a slice of pineapple, and a red cherry.”

Νέκυες κοπρίων εκβλητότεροι.**

- Heraclitus

Corpses are more useless than dung.**

When Elon Musk took over Twitter in early November, he got rid of Twitter’s CEO, CFO, and chief legal officer on his first day. Musk then gave Twitter employees an ultimatum in a midnight email: commit to a “hardcore” culture at Twitter or leave with a generous severance. Barely three weeks later he purged  nearly two-thirds of Twitter’s 7500-person workforce, around 3700 employees.

“What works at SpaceX and Tesla is people being in the office and being hardcore,” said Musk during his first meeting with Twitter employees following the lay offs. In his Tweet defending the layoffs, Musk said all departing employees were offered "3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required". Musk has also fired as many as 5500 additional contract Twitter employees recently to cut down on bloated staff and waste of resources.

The mass layoffs prompted knee jerk concerns about content moderation, with NGOs and campaigners claiming the changes could mean more harmful material or misinformation on the site. Most of those culled or those who left voluntarily were from teams responsible for communications, content curation and moderation, human rights, human resources, and marketing.

The language of hard work and commitment demanded by Musk to remaining Twitter staff was mirrored in an email to Twitter employees entitled ‘Twitter 2.0’. “Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore. This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade. Twitter will also be much more engineering-driven. Design and product management will still be very important and report to me, but those writing great code will constitute the majority of our team and have the greatest sway. At its heart, Twitter is a software and servers company, so I think this makes sense.”

It sure does. After clearing house of deadwood, Musk has gone on a hiring spree at Twitter, mainly for more talented software engineers.

The two pictures above tell their own story. The top picture were staff who resigned or were culled. Many complained of their ‘inhumane treatment’ at Musk’s demands whilst others were left in tears or were distraught.

The second bottom picture is of remaining Twitter staff - overwhelmingly software engineers - happily working in the trenches at 1.30am with their new boss who was also putting in the hours alongside them.

a few small vases were not fully dry but np, just added a preheat hold to try avoiding explosions 💥

this means everything is going to plan to have a Halloween glaze firing 😁🎃💀🕸️🖤

also have been busy working on my traditional vase forms for crystalline pottery game, and becoming far more confident throwing large with porcelain. still only playing with 5-7 lb range before trimming, but comfortably hitting the 16" tall achievement is officially unlocked.

these plus more should be dry to bisque in about another week or two, so expecting some great new crystalline tests from the upcoming firing to put on these blokes for the first/second week of November. then it's a mad rush to make a lot of shit for the holidays this year and what.

My sister worked at Walmart but her till was in the middle of the bread aisle and she got fired because she stole 3 of the coins from Papers Please and tried to buy tortillas with them.

Smoke firing, the result.

The bin was opened this morning.

The fire had not burned down to the bottom.

Some sawdust and wood was still there.

Very interesting designs on a lot of the pieces.

The piece of steel wool took on beautiful colours.

There was a lot of useful charcoal made during the burning.

Very interesting process.
