This is why they wear masks.
The Department of Homeland Security cowardly pushed people around at the Portland protest.

Day 07. Draw two floating cubes from different angles with shadows. #learntodrawin30days
September 7, 2025 at 4:50 AM
Day 05: Draw 3 different cylinders. #learntodrawin30days 2nd attempt. The shadows are still crap. And one day I will learn how ellipses behave in perspective.

Day 06. Draw three complex shapes and give them volume. #learntodrawin30days

Day 05. Draw 3 different cylinders. #learntodrawin30days Hate this. Not sure about the cross sections, which are meant to be elliptical. And the shadows are wonky as fuck.

Day 04. Draw a sphere with light and shade. #learntodrawin30days
September 4, 2025 at 10:41 PM
Day 3. Draw a row of overlapping circles converging towards a point. #learntodrawin30days

I hate drawing freehand ellipses on this tablet.

A little late from where I'm sitting. Day 2. Draw two overlapping spheres, cut in four. #learntodrawin30days

I didn't mean to wait for Monday 1st to start that art challenge again but it's a nice convenient date for a month with 30 days in it.

Time to have another go, as I kind of lost momentum and confidence last time. #learntodrawin30days, take 2.

Bit of a deep dive here. I'm trying to compile a list of music videos that feature the Sinclair C5. Here's what I have so far:

1. Lie Detector — David Devant and His Spirit Wife
2. Clive Sinclair — Electric Disorder
3. Your Missus Is a Nutter — Goldie Lookin Chain

Can anyone name any others?

The GOP governors of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee have all sent their states' National Guard troops to assist Trump's occupation of DC.

All four of those states have cities with crime rates higher than DC.

This was never about "fighting crime."

Not a lot to report. This latest heatwave knocked me on my arse. Got a few more flashfics written, but I want to have at least 30 in the can before I start publishing. Another few short stories would be good too, but it's the flashfics that'll provide the initial hook.

The deliberate starvation of Gaza was predicted 18 months ago by the top UN expert on the right to food. This is not unexpected, our political leaders knew this what they were backing

You may have noticed an absence of #learntodrawin30days posts just now. Main reason for this is I'm really having trouble with ellipses. Got some basic methods for drawing them, but they're still coming out wobbly. Will come back to that challenge after a week or so.

Is there an option where Trump, Rupert Murdoch, Elon Musk etc can just be left in a box to tear each other to bits?

DAY NINETEEN. Draw a complex box with various volumes extruded and carved in. #learntodrawin30days
July 30, 2025 at 10:59 PM
DAY EIGHTEEN. Draw a totem made out of different volumes and extrude two cylinders from it. #learntodrawin30days
July 29, 2025 at 8:23 PM
DAY SEVENTEEN. Draw a bunch of cylinders tied up with a torus. #learntodrawin30days
July 28, 2025 at 10:15 PM
Day Sixteen. Draw three different bowls (sphere, cube, cylinder). #learntodrawin30days

Bonus points to the protestor who thought to carry on in Janey Godley's shoes and carry a placard reading 'TRUMP IS STILL A CUNT.'

Day Fifteen. Draw a shaded extruded box constuct. #learntodrawin30days
