Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?
4 panel comic:
Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here”
Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!”
Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much”
Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!

I finally decided to collect some Sheaffers, since I inherited a couple of vintage ones, so the plan is one for each decade. I got a 60s Lady Sheaffer Paisley, an early 90s No Nonsense with the ATL Braves logo, and an early 2000s gunmetal Prelude.

AI Ashley stole $10 million from sick kids & voted to end the ACA subsidies. Why? Her campaign donors are healthcare companies & executives. We need to elect people in office who aren’t corrupt & who will actually work to address the issues working people face. #AngieForFlorida

Good morning! Friendly reminder that politicians are supposed to work for YOU! YOU pay them with your tax dollars to run the country in a way that serves YOU. If they don't do their jobs, fire them by voting them out.

The Missouri Constitution clearly states that no taxpayer funds may be appropriated for use at private religious schools. Here is exact language👇🏻

It turns out explaining basic human consent is so bewildering to some people that someone literally had to whip out a stick-figure cartoon about Earl Grey just to get everyone on the same page.

Right. Yes. Maybe it was a personal experience, but while I loved a Pilot Varsity, I HATED the Metropolitan I bought. Ended up handing it over to my nephew.

They’re known for pencil-like feedback, which I love—in a pencil. I want a fountain pen to glide. They also run way too fine for my taste. It feels like I’m scratching, not writing.

I filled a Sheaffer Targa with PR Tanzanite yesterday and ended up with hands that looked like I’d murdered a Smurf. Anyone know how to deal with leakage? Seems to be backing up from the converter and squeezing out between the collar and barrel.

There’s a behavioral dog rescue in NC called STAB that does absolutely hilarious dog bios. After posting “Two Mommy Tommy”, a dog looking for lesbians because he despises men, men have been bombarding their FB page and escalated to doxxing and threats to family. Men: validating Tommy forever

What the fuck, Joyce. I don’t even read romance novels but this kind of thinking pisses me the fuck off. It further pushes that mentality that some books as “lesser” which is bullshit! All books count!
Joyce Carol Oates 
This is why Al-generated romance novels make perfect sense. Formulaic fiction doesn't need to be written by hand, so to speak; what difference does it make if a machine "writes" it? There are machine-made clothes & there are custom-made clothes. They appeal to different consumers.

Remember when they kicked an entire girl’s softball team out of the championship game because a player posted a private Snapchat where she was flipping off the camera? It’s funny how they never worry about ruining girl’s futures.

When authoritarians get backed into a corner, they lash out and resort to fear-mongering. This is why Trump is running ominous taxpayer funded ads. But we’re going to organize our friends and neighbors, turn out to vote in November, and deliver a resounding blue wave. Spread the word.

While listening to council meetings in Montreal, local mayor Sue Montgomery decided to knit in red when men spoke and in green when women spoke, when similar numbers of both attended. Day 1 results.... #WomensArt
