People often say to me: “You draw like some kind of inhuman machine. If I eat your brain, will I gain your power?” The answer is yes, but there is another way.
The key to precise drawing is building up muscle memory so that your arm/hand/fingers do the things you want them to do when you want them to do them. Teaching yourself to draw a straight line or to make sweet curves is just a matter of practice and there are some exercises you can do to help improve.
If you’re going to be doodling in class or during meetings anyway, why not put that time to good use?
This is so important to mention to all artists. The reason PRACTISE improves drawing ability over time is it increases the literal, technical movement in your hands and arms through /muscle memory/.
THIS IS VERY GOOD, to all the people that like my lines. I do similar but less constructed doodles like these in my sketchbook all the time, it basically just teaches your hand how to move
does anybody else remember that reality show where they gaslit a bunch of americans into thinking they were competing to marry prince harry but it was really just some guy
the last of us on hbo: here’s your first two episodes, full of the TERROR of humanity!! infected!! corrupt government!! marshal law!! senseless killing!!

the last of us on hbo: and now for your third episode. the gut wrenching love story between two men who found each other at the end of the world and became so entangled in one another that when time finally wore them away, they left together. also on the nature of daylight plays over their last day together
elon musk made this racist ass tweet and a bunch of alt right christian bros are mad at him in his comments because he believes in dinosaurs. there is not even a joke to be made here atp
Hassan has eight children in his family, and bed-ridden himself- facing the possibility of having his leg amputated. They are seeking to evacuate Gaza for better health and a more sterile environment.
Sara’s family is currently in Gaza, while her ill father made it to Egypt, much of her family is still in Gaza and wants nothing more than to get them out.
Alaa and Ola are both mothers of young children and are looking for support in the way of diapers, formula, passports, visas, etc. They’re hope is to leave their home, as much as thay hurts to do.
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
All of these fundraisers are verified through this Linktree called Funds for Gaza.
GoFundMe’s minimum required donation is $5.00 (USD). So if you can afford that, please consider sending some help these folks’ way!
Or take a look at the Operation Olive Branch spreadsheet for more verified links to fundraisers to help people evacuate Gaza.
It takes less than five minutes (less if you already have a GoFundMe account) and it helps save peoples lives.So please donate if you can and if you can’t at least reblog this!
just thinking about the “something special for someone special” item from tf2 which is a $100 virtual wedding ring that many people bought just because when you send it to someone it broadcasts a message to everyone currently playing tf2
thinking about how such an item would only work in tf2 and only because valve made the very good decision of having it broadcast a message to everyone currently playing tf2 and allowing renames of both the sender and recipient as well as the item so for $100 people broadcasted shit like
thinking about how there will never truly be something like this in gaming ever again
YES THERE’S A FONT ITS CALLED CHINESE ROCKS AND ONCE YOU KNOW IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT SEE IT IN EVERYTHING
We all know its the RDR/2 logo:
but hey, you know those guys who make Hades? Transistor? Bastion? Lets take a look at their log- oh.
Okay well.. have you guys ever played Tee K.O. on Jackbox? Surely it can’t be the- oh my god
OKAY WELL MAYBE I’LL JUST GO TRY TO FIND A FUN INDIE GAME TO PLAY AND HEY LOOK AT THE R IN THE LOGO HERE IS THAT-
THAT’S RIGHT.
ITS
FUCKING
CHINESE ROCKS
the R is always the giveaway. its everywhere. i am cursing you all with this knowledge. regular viewers of my stream will remember how many times i’ve yelled out OH ITS CHINESE ROCKS!!!
Found this one that checks all the boxes on r/boomerhumor.
Wow
Weirdest experience I ever had with this is with a customer at work.
It’s not an uncommon occurrence for men in their 40s and 50s to refer to their wives as “old bags”, so whenever I do the whole “Would you like a bag” spiel, there’s a 50/50 chance they will point to their wife and say “No thanks I have one right here” or say “Nah I left her at home” Or something else awful and then wink at me and call me darling or sweetheart and just make me want to be smited by god right in that second.
However there was one customer that came in and did this whole song and dance. Not out of the ordinary. What was, however, was how he then followed it up by going “I’m kidding, I’m divorced ha ha.” Then, his face drops and he turns to his friend with a look of absolute horror and goes “Wait, that’s probably why. Do you think that’s why she left me Andy? Because I said things like that?” And then proceeded to look like he was re-evaluating his whole life as his friend led him out of the store.
TL; DR = Boomers are weird and this one was given a glimpse behind the veil of self awareness in a Tesco Extra
So I was writing a small paper in Microsoft Word and the program suddenly crashed (I saved a couple minutes before, thank god) and I get this message in the corner of my screen two seconds afterward
“if you’re working a full time job you should be able to afford to live on your own and have access to food and transportation” gonna be real with you brother. everyone deserves this. Not just people working 40 hrs a week
people inherently deserve to have a roof over their heads and to eat and live comfortably. not tied to whatever work they do or do not do. Shocking, i know
what is it that makes siblings so good at insulting your fashion?
one time my brother looked at me and said “Hold on. I need to cook up an insult about your outfit.” and after two and a half minutes of silence said “You’ve got the perfect cammo to sneak through a grandmother’s house undetected” and he was fucking right
Being in any fandom is like this when you curate your dash
Naive shipper’s first post causes them to be immediately devoured by three separate discourse blogs which then proceed to devour each other. The resulting carcasses are picked clean by trolls in seconds; within a minute, the only sign anything of note occurred is a neatly arranged pile of bones with the word “deactivated” inscribed on each skull.

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.
I have been waiting for this post all my life.
They are indeed purple, But one thing you’ve missed: The concept of “purple” Didn’t always exist.
Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”
A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.
So roses are red. Violets once were called blue. I’m hugely pedantic But what else is new?
My friend you’re not wrong
About Homer’s wine-ey sea!
Colours are a matter
Of cultural contingency;
Words are in flux
And meanings they drift
But the word purple
You’ve given short shrift.
The concept of purple,
My friends, is old
And refers to a pigment
once precious as gold.
By crushing up molluscs
From the wine-dark sea
You make a dye:
Imperial decree
Meant that in Rome,
to wear purpura was a privilege reserved
For only the emperor!
The word ‘purple’,
for clothes so fancy,
Entered English
By the ninth century
.
Why then are voilets
Not purple in song?
The dye from this mollusc,
known for so long
Is almost magenta;
More red than blue.
The concept of purple
is old, and yet new.
The dye is red,
So this might be true:
Roses are purple
And violets are blue
.
While this song makes me merry, Tyrian purple dyes many a hue From magenta to berry And a true purple too.
But fun as it is to watch this poetic race The answer is staring you right in the face: Roses are red and violets are blue Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.
Hirple - To limp or walk awkwardly
Cirple - An old Scots word for the hindquarters of a horse

might just devote my blog exclusively to the onion headlines
ID: Screenshot of a facebook post by The Onion. “There’s no faster way to blow a job interview than to express your belief that you have inherent worth as a person and are deserving of basic dignity and respect.” The text is followed by a link to an article on their website titled “Common Mistakes Everyone Makes During Job Interviews.”, with a link preview image of what appears to be a white man interviewing a Black man. / end ID
Kinda surprised someone hasn’t already made a gimmick blog for the onion
would much like to point out that the people publishing these articles are trying to needle millennials into treating gen z with the same disgusting vitriol we were treated with.
don’t buy it.
our younger brothers and sisters might eat a tide pod and get us blamed for it, but we have more in common with them than we ever had with boomers or gen x.
they are terrified of the things we can do together. remember that.
I still remember the nurses who laughed at me after major spine surgery when I was walking around with my butt out because I didn’t know to bring shorts to the hospital and wasn’t allowed to double my gowns due to the incision location. I still remember the aid who told me that I smelled after days of being unable to move my limbs or get out of bed while sweating uncontrollably from spinal shock and agonizing pain. I sat and cried after that because I had overcome so much that hospital stay just to be dehumanized. Never did they ask if I wanted something to cover up or assistance bathing. Just laughed at me and joked with each other.
I also remember the nurse who checked on me extra during the night with a hospital stay in the middle of covid because they kicked my mom out and I have trauma about being in the hospital alone. She made extra visits to make sure I was okay just like she promised my mom. I remember the nurse who held my hand and called me honey as my limbs trashed and shook from spinal shock.
Basically being a good nurse and being a bad nurse to patients does stay with a person. It’s been years and many other hospital stays since a lot of these instances and I still remember them clearly. I know nurses are burnt out, traumatized, and exhausted. Nurses deserve better treatment. But so do patients.
