I saw someone on here arguing the other day that you don’t own a book, you only own a license to the book and the book itself is a token of the license. I assure you, I own my books. I can lend them out. I can read them aloud to my child. I can sell them to other people. I can hit you with them

Feeling like I wanna treat myself. Anyone have a sketchbook recommendation?

Tonight was a good reminder for us all to read books.

Please, for humanity, read books.

Read lots and lots of books — especially ones you disagree with!

4 panel silly comic in black lines only. A blob guy has a big pencil. It says “I draw”. In the second panel he seems happy with his drawing and it says “all done yeah”. Panel 3 shows him holding up the drawing of a triangle with legs and a happy face. He goes “come on”. In the final panel he’s very pleased with himself, closes his eyes and tells himself “I’m a bit incredible”

Come on

Ohhhhhh. I keep forgetting they're even making that.

Did something happen today? Why is everyone talking about this again?

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop.

Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything.

It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

Finished season 1 of Kaos on Netflix after I absolutely fell in love with the story and the cast just to find out they canceled it. I am crushed. It was so good. 😭
