Of course, a bunch of tech bros seizing a clear financial opportunity. Cloaking it behind American values.

Money and war will always be a driver for “innovation”
"After a decade of pushing a utopian vision of the future, tech’s most optimistic pitch is a return to America’s past. Connecting the world is out. Rearming the arsenal of democracy is in.“ Such a great new @nitasha.bsky.social story: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
How Silicon Valley learned to love America, drones, and glory
After a decade of building the future, tech’s new guard is going back to the American past, spurring a funding frenzy in defense technology

Tokyo is really lovely, I think I’m so upset because I have a very big issue with being touched or me feeling like my personal space is being invaded (most of the time this is unintentional. It’s just crowded in Tokyo)

It’s more of a me issue than a Tokyo issue for sure haha.

Of course I want to go home when it’s time to. I never wanted to come. But thats what happens when you have work to do 💀

There’s way too many people. Processes are harder than they have to be. It’s so nauseating. I just feel so suffocated here and angry. And I just want to go home lol.

I do not have too many nice things to say about Tokyo. Objectively it’s a great city. I can’t deny that. But I personally despise this place and I would never return if I had the option to.

I’m blowing my hate out of proportion too. But let me have this.

Here’s some art I’ve started. I can’t wait to buy a printer to touch them up too! Definitely would like to scan them in!

Andrew Loomis – Figure Drawing for All It’s Worth. A classic, this (and tons of other books by him) are available for free via the internet archive. I’ve honestly not personally used it, but it’s free and a ton of artists have used this as their starting point.

Happy MedicineMonday 🩺 🧪

Dr. James McCune Smith was born into slavery in 1813 NYC and emancipated as a teen. He is believed to be the first African American medical doctor, but he was also an intellectual, an abolitionist, and spoke out against systemic racism in and out of medicine.
