She/her, they/them is fine, he/him …would be a little weird?
And yelled at for picking up the phone when they were still on this Internet, thereby disconnecting the session it had taken them 40 minutes to establish

But again, it is supposed to be when agents of the state are *following a law*. Qualified immunity is for when you should go after the law, rather than the agents who carry it out. There is, in fact, no law that the police are deferring to when they (for example) shoot fleeing suspects.

Some people do actual photorealism with it, it’s crazy!

I had to go look up the names—the author is Cathy Camper, the artist is Raul the Third. It’s not hard to find

The artist talked about how growing up all he had available was cheap discarded ballpoints, and it’s an homage to that. You can do so much with cheap ballpoint!

There’s a really cool book, kind of half children’s book and half graphic novel, called LOWRIDERS IN SPACE, I found in a tiny local bookshop this past summer. The art is completely rendered in ball point pen. It is SO COOL.

Mostly freebies but I have also bought special pens when I was in the mood (gel pens, rollerballs, cheapass Bics in a variety color pack)

I’m kind of a cheapskate though so the fancy stuff I still get on clearance

I’m reminded of the “no Star Wars spoilers” tweet from when The Force Awakens came out

Good lord, was it that long ago?!

My issue is that I really just need the thing to plug in to everything and for awhile it did and now suddenly it doesn’t

I live in the desert and never saw a mushroom, until we had a big rain and there were a lot of weeds and we had to weed, and in the pile of compost weed there were three different kind of mushrooms *that I saw*

You cannot escape mushrooms is what I’m saying
