I'd get much needed repairs on my car w/ 280k miles on it (& start setting aside $$$ for a new 1). I'd be less hesitant to do some bigger home improvement projects- like buy a utility building from local carpenters. Pay off my current accruing medical debt. Finally buy a digital tablet for art 🥲

Also, he's a Jew* so no NOT his ancestry as far as the U.S. destruction goes, but hypocrite completely.

Damn, I let his mental gymnastics tire me by basically saying what most already knew of him / his stupid statement 😮‍💨

I realize now the sentiment I shared is expressed throughout the quoted thread.

I guess I misunderstood that ppl were saying what he said was a lie. Stuff like that can happen (bringing cultural baggage across borders) but that also assimilation isn't impossible either just bc ur an immigrant 😐

I think the word immigrant holds context that renders his statements vile & cruel (bc we are in the 21st century, not Napoleonic or pre eras).

But what he described just... read to me like Anglo-Saxon history excerpt in the context of the U.S. 3/3

White ancestors didn't assimilate. They destroyed, killed, and took & then continued to indoctrinate, discriminate, and demonstrate hypocrisy for decades.

I know ppl are not immigrating for the purpose of world conquering like the past. But his statements kinda tell on his own ancestry.

Okay, I know his statements are absolutely rooted in racism.

But... Is this not kinda what white ppl from Europe did when they came to the Americas and wiped out Indigenous populations, colonized thru culture and religion, & here we are 100s of years later STILL feeling the negative impact? 1/

It's caused me to create new sets of tools, reorganize my texture files, and try new things while picking a few to become regular trademarks.

I also reference my OLD art (10+ yrs) for any clues on what's persisted & maybe what to bring back.

Best of all, I'm having fun again! 😊 3/3

Over time I noticed a few things in common: texture everywhere, rough lineart, shape language, manual texture (hatching, stippling etc).

Anyway, it was a cheat-sheet for me to start adding similar attributes to my own art lately. 2/

This is a good way to approach this. Something teen-me would have loved to have read 20 years ago 😆

I recently made a folder called "style faves" where I'm saving images of art that have characteristics that I love a lot 1/

I'm skeptical to think this method immobilizes her like cats 🤔 still must hold her out at arm's length at all times 😆 oh God, what if someone used the awful spray bottle method 😬🔪☠️🪦

Not a mutual, but Peak is fun! My first run was very frustrating even with 2 ppl guiding me lol I'm 33 hrs in now 😆

Played today for the new Roots update! I have only unlocked the second level in the regular Peak levels. I think I've played 90% of my time in Tenderfoot 🤭

My fave are the top two houses. Even though the lines are dark blue, when I look at it, I see them in color- each section is drawn in a different color.

Nice use of soft and curved shape language. A very cheerful atmosphere 😊

I've had the same feeling & desire to detach from the screen. I started doing "couch doodles" as I call them. Completely different art style/subject to experience creation & joy differently.

Nothing too complex, but something that uses tangible medium akin to our youthful starts in art 🎨☺️

They've used "to protect the children" as a fake motive to police ppl before.

If they gave a shit about children, there'd be some gun laws and GenAI laws enacted 🤷‍♀️

But kids die at school, and ppl use GenAI to make illegal content of children, so...🙃

I was going to suggest that! And remind followers there's a notification bell if they want a ping for your first return post. (They can always turn it off once you're back).

Enjoy your holiday break! ✨🎉🎁

Not just for tech but appliances and other devices.

If companies actually put money into CUSTOMER SERVICE and REPAIR for well-made products, they could still make money, supply jobs, and reduce waste.

Cheap stuff breaks & they live off ppls FOMO for trendy overpriced junk. 2/2

In 20 years, I've had 4 phones starting with a prepaid Nokia. My last android was a refurbished Moto that I used for 8 years and HAD to upgrade because it started to malfunction. My 'new' phone is still a refurbished phone.

We create so much waste when releasing new devices constantly. 1/

Oh my goodness! Internal bleeding? Is this common in their species? That seems like a one in a million to happen with no contributors.

I'm so, so sorry 😥

I went to school for illustration. I was told even by my teachers there's more money to be made in graphic design 🫤 (which graphic design is my job, and I appreciate the separation for burnout reasons, but hell, show some support for your own students LOL).

Participants (ie real identities used in these programs, including children).

GenAI was created unethically and illegally. A program founded on this principles really can't be "good" for society imo. It sets a bad precedent for future technologies. But that's just my opinion 4/4.
