Also happening. I only have one desk right now, so it has to do double duty. It doesn't help that I have an oversized mouse pad, but I need that for the pc. Art gives me a way to calm back down after seeing the news. Joy in the weird and different, still a poke in the eyes of fascists.

It's happening.

I applied for a panel at Seattle Worldcon 2025. Wish me luck! I'll finish this either way. I already have a plan for inking it!

If you are on Facepalm, I am now www.facebook.com/ruthunit instead of www.facebook.com/ruthunit2. This fixes an issue that's been bothering me for months. I am the only "ruthunit" - accept no substitutes!

No prints this year. Next year? The odds are good, but the goods are odd. I did find a new ink (archival!) for my rapidographs, so I know what I need for Xmas. What do you need? Is it art? I have a couple of hand-inked originals available, as low as $400. Help me get those prints made! All by hand.

Finally back online! Well, I wanted to be back north. Still worth it, even with the power outages. Misplaced my mp3 player. Ball of anxiety. Still here. Already sick of Christmas, but my roommate loves it. Gonna be an interesting month. Ancient Chinese curse. I need chocolate. Short form still sux.

Inking! Just don't ask how long ago the pencil was completed. I use a light desk to trace the maze on bristol. Paper size 16" square. Micron 02. All freehand.

I know I will be safe. I know my friends will not. Neither one of these is the primary reason to oppose fascism. Why oppose fascism? Because it's the right thing to do. If you need someone you personally know to be affected before you care, you're part of the problem.

The Michael's in Covington is open. Yay!
They have Microns!
They do not have Green in anything but 05 nib size.
They have bristol board!
They do not have 14x17" bristol board. They have 11x17" (and smaller/larger, of course).
I did get a good exacto knife with extra blades.

One out of three, yay?

Editing my posts for word count on BlueSky. It changes my voice, and I don't like that; but the alternative is to put the rest in [con't] comments. Yes, I tend to be verbose, and I'm charmed by language. If I sound like an old book sometimes, it's on purpose. [Con't]

Remember what else people said about Hitler. "We didn't know." "No one thought he would really do that." When will America wake up, and say these things about [t]rump? It's not as if we didn't have plenty of warning this time. "He won't really do that." Right, and he "knows nothing" about Hitler.

I love the PNW weather. This morning, I had to put on a flannel shirt because it was chilly. Chilly! I can't believe it won't be 100 degrees outside this afternoon! It's the little things. When all the big things are fncked up, take joy where you find it. Bonus, it will disconcert the haters.

The purpose of the “let’s not destroy relationships because of politics” messaging is to set up a condition whereby you put up no resistance.

For those of you who have not seen my work, I do hand-drawn artistic mazes. Yes, hand-drawn. I also do some semi-abstract fine-line design. But it's mostly mazes.

On "ruthunit": I am "ruthunit" to call out the acultural nature of modern American society. I've been "ruthunit" ever since I got my first e-mail address more than thirty years ago. "I am not a number; I am a free man!" When everything is data, conformant, standardized for your protection [con't]

For my longer posts, find me on facepalm. Ruth Hackney, www.facebook.com/ruthunit2. I'm currently testing the waters in the sky, as it were, but only a few of my peeps are here. Like my art? Let me know, and I'll post more of it. :) Unlike half the population, I have no pat-re-ohno, but [con't]

Today: My new desk arrives. Where will it go? Hahahahaha. There is space in my bedroom, where I can set up a television. There is less space in the man cave, where the playstation lives, but where I would have company. Is company a good thing? Yes. Is company a good thing when making art? Maybe.

Back in WA! I am in Maple Valley for the nonce. My computer is in OR. My stuff is in a truck somewhere. My art... Half of my art is here. I have a new battery for my LED light board. I have... I have no hope, but the great thing is that I have never had hope, so this is nothing new. Yay? [con't]
