My first sumi-e picture. I think learning ink control is going to be harder than learning brush control, though the two are very much tied to each other.
And I really need to practice my signature 😬

Aonishiki! 🙌 What a basho 😲
Started dabbling with sumi-e today, just some doodling to get a feel for the brushes and the ink.
It was a lot of fun and also oddly Zen. Looking forward to practising more and learning the main techniques.

Our new report highlights how wrongful convictions are a common feature of the death penalty. Black people are more likely to be wrongfully convicted and executed despite their innocence.

The witch made him hot chocolate.
"They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am."
He took a sip.
"They say I can overcome any hardship."
"Mm," said the witch.
"And I can. I do."
The witch said nothing.
"But I shouldn't have to!"
"No."
The witch held the hero as he wept.

Just started Monument Valley and knocked over the first five levels.
This game is 100% up my alley and also 100% visually trippy when I'm tired.

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough.

You know how civil rights activists won by throwing other vulnerable peoples under the bus?
Wait they didn't do that. They kept preaching, marching, and fighting, leading people to the right position rather than following polls, because they knew their cause was just.
