Learning how to draw different people, places, and objects. I believe the best art comes from someone learning rather than a ML model or what is mathematically meant to be the perfect image. Practicing NSFW too Banner: Louis Wain reddit: /u/pickuppencil

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

Funny how during a government shutdown, where federal employees aren't paid and websites can't be updated,

But they can make Bluesky accounts.

And during the same week as nokings protest

ngl if youre new to Bluesky or just need to hear this

this exact model of interacting online has saved me so much stress while interacting with the torment nexus

Good morning!

I try out lots of stuff -- hobbies, genres of music, artistic influences, book series, foods or drinks, philosophies, etc. Sometimes it sticks and becomes a part of my routine, sometimes it doesn't. But I always end up with something new rattling around in my head.
Sounds like a phrase from this guy who loved his craft.

ICE detained a nonverbal, 15 year-old autistic boy who'd been selling fruit by the side of the road with his family when he took a bathroom break. The family was not notified. He was held in ICE detention for a week before the family could find him.

Are werewolves furries?

Or do they just attract that demographic?

Must look into later.
