Kiddo is trying to follow a tutorial on how to draw a bunny and she's doing a great job but she's hard on herself so she just crumbled up a paper and threw it and I said you can take a break and she said no and grumpily grabbed another piece of paper to try again she's a true artist

JRR Tolkien: You paint that picture of the key scene from the Two Towers where Frodo and Sam fight Gollum? Donato Giancola: Sure did, Ron, real fuckin' sexy just like you asked. JRRT: What.

There was some 🤌 commentary in the Alameda County voters guide. Including an economist stating that the soda tax supporting BUSD gardens doesn't consider the opportunity cost of teaching kids to cook rather than using that classroom time for other things. Just say you don't like taxes, man!

I switched over to Bristol Board to see how my pencils react to that and...I'm not sure I like it. I think it's too...hard? I think next im gonna try out some of the watercolor paper I didn't like (for painting) to see how that feels.

Just morally bankrupt shit from CA Highway Patrol. They say that "a bicyclist collided with a vehicle," and admonish riders to "follow the rules of the road" and "wear a helmet." The photos show a bike with a tacoed rear wheel and a car with a smashed windshield. Who collied with whom now?

As I practice drawing or playing guitar I'm realizing how so much of getting better is just like...figuring out how to trick your brain to get it to do what you want it to do instead of what it wants to do.

This is basically a dollar a book, and each book is more than 150,000 words long. A penny per thousand words is a ridiculously low price point.
