Spent some time learning how to paint white skin. Green people are so much easier to paint.

Something that I learned while teaching adults is that they absolutely CANNOT abide by losing face. If you are teaching someone & they feel like they are losing face, you will lose them immediately. This is what happens re: politics too. Rather than lose face, folks will triple down on wrongness.

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

Your cat hotel is insufficient. This man scatters cat trees before him like a scythe through grass. He has looked upon your cat cafe and knew in his soul that what it truly lacked was infrastructure.
I don't know why this lad is building a subterranean city for cats, but I'm all for it.

On that episode of Deep Space Nine where the space station doctor is amazed beyond belief at the concept of a room with lower than usual gravity. On a space station. In space.

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch
“Once you get troops on the streets, it’s only a matter of time before it goes bad. Some kid throws a stone, next minute there’s houses on fire and people getting killed.”

“The captain glared at him. The sergeant put on the poker face that has been handed down from NCO to NCO ever since one protoamphibian told another, lower-ranking protoamphibian to muster a squad of newts and Take That Beach.”

“Too many people, when listing all the perils to be found in the search for lost treasure or ancient wisdom, had forgotten to put at the top of the list "the man who arrived just before you".”

7-1, and went six straight wins before getting that 1. At least five of those wins were deckouts thanks to one of those mill cards equal to life total things.

"Why won't you be symmetrical" I scream from beneath an ever thickening layer of basecoat, unaware that I have already cocooned myself in paint, trapped with my hubris forevermore.

On day 11 of my hobby streak now, and I've got some wonderful prints and paintjobs done, but no functional camera.
If a tree falls down in the forest, and nobody posts about it, did it really happen at all?
