What a difficult day. I'm sorry.

I haven't seen the video, but this is what Kroger has required since I worked for them in 2004. It's exhausting for everyone involved.
Secret shopper scores *require* it too, and there are consequences for getting a bad secret shop. :(
Not to excuse Target-- just saying it's sucked for a while.

Child's Play. It aired on tv or was rented on VHS when I was probably about 5.

Cara's nice, but I'm annoyed they haven't figured out alt text yet.
I post there when I remember!
Maybe someday they'll get integrated Glaze back. It was great when it worked, before bad actors took advantage and they had to take it away.

They've had so much backlash and refuse to even try to reassure their users (many rely on the software for their jobs too).
I don't know about today, but even yesterday, their social media accounts were directing people to their (closed) forums for support.
Their discord is still unmoderated. 😬

I never considered the difference the writing tool could make for cursive specifically, but it seems so obvious once you pointed it out.
As much as I love my print handwriting (I've made an effort since I was a kid to make it my own), cursive has charm to it, and I admire those who can do it well.

Some locations still require actual prescriptions from your primary care physician.
Call ahead to see if your state/county does.

You've got a perpetual license for it and I'd actually consider that lucky with all of the uncertainty! You got in before they shut down their stores!
They won't take that away.
It's been a solid suite of software.
Saying that, the refund policy will lapse before we find out the future plans.

Chances of it being turned into subscription model feel high.

I assumed Canva would ruin it.
But I am surprised they're willing to go an entire month without any sales.
People have already jumped into their discord asking for a way to buy the software today (one even had their trial expire today, so they wanted to jump on it after liking the product.)

Outlines are not forbidden.
When I was younger, I just wanted things to look real. And my HS art teachers didn't allow outlines at all; they were ok for doodles, but not real art.
It took a long time for me to be ok with outlines and more expressive approaches.

Mine will be here later today and I'm so excited to hold something made by an artist whose work I love. <3

I've been looking forward to it for a while! <3 I hope that you have a lot of success with it-- the premise is great and the art is, well, the big reason I bought it. I can't wait to appreciate the hell out of all of the hard work you put into it.
