Woodland drawing made with ink and brush, just visible my fingers holding a fine brush over the work.
Tangly, tangly branches. A work in progress.
Having a person in a cool outfit, compliment me on my outfit may be the glue holding me together at this point

here is a bit of a painting made for an album cover a thousand years ago that didn't get used (thanks rough trade hope your boring covers sold a million records), I kind of consider this the death throes of what I was doing before I really found my voice, but the technique is interesting...
me when someone cites the deep magic to me even though I was there when it was written: holy shit, for real? I don't remember that part at all
I just wanna be me

X just suspended an account for telling US soldiers,
in first 365 days of service can GET OUT out just by reporting "failure to adapt"
This will also apply to drafts, and may be useful information you can pass on
As a foreigner (UK), I feel this must become something every American knows

They should still get sued into the fucking ground, you shouldn’t get to “whoops sorry” your way out of this
In today's "libraries are amazing" news: You want a creepy photo from the 1928 World Book Encyclopedia? Internet Archive! You want a 1921 St. Paul city ordinance? Hathi Trust! Oh, they didn't scan 1922 -- walk to the law library!
Going back to an older way of doing things when Consumers Rights were stronger will radicalize you more than any shared post ever will, and logging off will soon be the strongest form of protest.
BY THE WAY, acknowledging that writer pay is generally low and always has been does NOT mean that one should abandon the idea that a) one's work has value and b) that this value should be reflected in what is offered for it by others, says the former president of a writers' association.
