Ah dang. Hope you find some good options!

Dr. Bronner's has an unscented lip balm that has pretty limited ingredients. Hlaf the time I feel like balms make my lips worse but I recently discovered this one and have liked it! www.drbronner.com/products/nak...

They’re messy but also very clear about what’s happening! Love seeing different artists sketches. Some are scratchy but crystal clear. Others are an esoteric, eldritch yarn ball

I guess I’ve been lucky to be surrounded by supportive, lovely souls because that attitude seems antithetical to the whole concept of being a creative. But it doesn’t make sense to me in other areas of life either so 🤷‍♀️

We have a massive obsession with WW2 where yeah, sure, we weren’t the worst guys but certainly committed our own sins.

I dunno, it just feels like we are especially good at cognitive dissonance. Probably not uniquely so but something in our culture welcomes it maybe?

We have trained ourselves to ignore any nuance or horrific actions in any situation to paint ourselves as the hero. We’ve not only never collectively dealt with the genocides in our past we’ve treated them as if they were trivial or non existent or only of their time without long term consequence.

I just do not understand creatives who exploit other creatives like this. How can it not cross their mind that whatever attitude leafs them them replace an illustrators work could lead to their own replacement as well?

I don’t know why you made the corvid orb but I’m glad you did
