People ARE active & paying attention. Don't fear you're alone.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.

In 1841 #Berlin's city border measured exactly 20,090 steps. We know this thanks to the indefatigable Dr Hermann Wollheim who took it upon himself to circumnavigate the city on foot before writing his endlessly fascinating "Attempt at Medical & Statistical Topography of Berlin".

Hello, I'm an Ink & Pen artist who is self taught, I've been working with art for around 3 years, but drawing since my childhood.
Fun fact what made me want to draw was the scene in the first Spider man movie, which Peter draws his suit.
