I lied I adjusted more of the face lol she needed more highlights and her red lips. I also warmed up some of the colors of the puppet throughout, especially the gold.

How is this justified?
Artists are record keepers. They don't just capture history, they preserve the visceral feeling of an emotional moment in time. Fascists despise them for good reason.

Draw lots of things quickly and make part of the fun to just create something. Draw things in a subject you love. Whether that’s animals, a particular fandom, etc.
Exercises to improve forms are great, and important, but you gotta mix in the fun stuff too. 🙂

Exactly this, all of this. I've felt it get only increasingly worse as the years pass it's been frustrating to see and be a part of these interactions. So difficult to have conversations where I have to argue with an even keel that my rights are worth fighting for and not just a worthy sacrifice.
The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

Attacking trans people is historically one of the first steps fascists take because if successful, they claim precedent to justify attacking free expression, bodily autonomy/healthcare, freedom of association, and the rest of the LGBTQ+.
If Dems don't protect us, they are aiding fascists fullstop.

Last December, Senate Dems had no anti trans provisions in their NDAA and the house did. Many thought the Senate Dems would stop those provisions.
They didn’t. Last minute, 37 Dems voted for it.
We must take no chances with the appropriations fight.
My story from last December.

My story from last December.
37 Democratic Senators Voted To Pass Anti-Trans NDAA. Here Are Their Names.
The vote came after most of the same Democrats refused to allow an amendment on the floor to remove the anti-trans provision in the military spending bill.

At the end of the day, so much of these moral panics are driven by eugenics and the belief that certain people shouldn't exist.
Azeen Ghorayshi at the NYT has moved on from going after trans people and is now pushing the leasing question that autism diagnoses are too common because of its expansion of it to a spectrum.

Saw this non native praying mantis at the park eating a native bee the sweat bee. Sweat bees are a gorgeous iridescent bee native in my part of WA. Absolutely my favorite flavor of bees.
Remember to say hi to your local bugs even the invasive ones you never know what you might see next.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water.
These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested.
They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Know how your rotisserie chicken is never as good when you get it home? It's all soggy and greasy and just warm. But you can fix that, by putting it in the air fryer for five minutes. It comes out hot, crisp, and delicious — and it makes the house smell like Swiss Chalet 🤣

My mom keeps dinosaur figures outside to scare off raccoons who want to steal her garbage. She sent me a photo today. A large toad has found one of the dinosaur figures and befriended it. They are besties now.

The people who gave us speeches from John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign, the terrible negotiations on Obamacare, Fetterman's hard right turn, Joe Biden's, "I'm staying in the race!" & Kamala Harris' "There's not a thing I would change," wants to tell Dems how to keep winning!

Beloved young Belgian reporter and world traveler Tintin has died of malaria in the Congo while trying to uncover some kind of diamond smuggling operation or some shit. We assume he was somewhere between 19 and 22. He is survived by an alcoholic dog that will be put down later today
