I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”

Apparently I am also practicing car hoarding, house hoarding, husband hoarding, dog hoarding, computer hoarding, furniture hoarding and art hoarding.

Apparently the subject of the day on the art side of the internet is how to draw heads at difficult angles, so I’m gonna put it out there that there is absolutely nothing wrong with grabbing a tool like @handyarttool.bsky.social to get super specific references of difficult angles to draw
