American here. I didn’t consent to it, but I am prepared and practice the mindfulness of being prepared that we reap what we sow.

I imagine my liver cells felt this way when I was an active alcoholic, part of the system but somehow powerless to change it.

Actually more like a somewhere else cell, my liver cells cry out in horror and I sit by unable to travel there to do any good.

That’s amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. Thats so cool they like to do speeches. My partner and I are like, “oooh I wonder what kind of speeches they do?” Thank you again for sharing the painting and the information.

Me too! I was drafting a comment in my head as I looked at the work in progress photos in the link about how I had no idea oil took that long to dry.

OP thank you for creating this and sharing the process and a bit of info on oil painting dry times. I was fascinated from start to finish.

Lovely painting, that person looks like they are very kind and welcoming. But I might be putting som bias on relating them to someone I might recognize I don’t know what you were going for.

May I ask the details of the commission you were provided, was it a photo you worked from?

I don’t see how anyone who already isn’t appalled by the genocide, is going to start to care because an American with a “brown” sounding name is also killed.

I don’t care any more than I already do which is I think all of it, whatever care is I have all of it for Palestine or any other oppressed peoples.

I’m editing to add: I really hate that I used the term brown sounding name because it feels icky and racist but it’s what I’ve come to expect from my less kind countrymen.

Thank you so much for this estimation. I don’t even care about the “about” part of it. I wanted a rough estimation and you provided.

Isn’t the antichrist suppose to be hot as fuck?

Or is that just Lucifer and the apple fell a bit far from the tree?

I would like that convention.

Anytime my partner and any friend of hers hang out or walk into or out of an area. I would remark on the sudden occurrence of a BBC.

Bad Bitch Convention.

I get some laughs but it makes her laugh or smile.

She appears to be a stocky person in boxy looking clothing. It might be influencing the perspective.

The dude right before him was the only supporter I believe. I skipped through a bit of the later half because I have to cook dinner.

He has the “who is your daddy” shirt with the president in an ICE armor vest.

Yes I can see some really altruistic uses for these but they’re outweighed by the malicious ones.

Like RING cameras and the other brands, would be super cool to help locate lost children and elderly but bad people are going to use them for fascism.

Let’s see Gracie’s Corner.

Am I Gracie the person, child star and education advocate/entertainer and NAACP award winner, or am I simply a little girl.

The real Tragic Tim was his son, Tragic Tim Jr., who sets out to avenge his father even though he had squandered the family’s last coins to pursue a life of adventure.

I can barely understand looking at it. I am dumbfounded switching back and forth between my perception and my knowledge of marble existing. It looks like water! I feel like I’m looking through transparent stone at the same time some how.

I found the website below to try to find info on viewing it possibly and I wanted to know what they learned from further examination. I couldn’t find anything but I also only looked in your link, the Bavarian state office of the preservation of monuments website, and the one I found where I copied this bit from.

“Mathias Pfeil, head of the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments, said: “The sword and the burial still have to be examined so that our archaeologists can classify this find more precisely. But it can already be said: the condition is exceptional! A find like this is very rare!”

Whether the sword was locally crafted or was imported is currently being investigated. There are three main distribution centres during the bronze age for octagonal swords of this type, one in Southern Germany and the others in Northern Germany and Denmark.”

Wow that looks like a wildly beautiful and utterly tragic movie. I can’t wait to watch it and feel great and terrible things.

lol yup that’s a strategy of mine. My inebriated alters are almost always my regular name or username just with the letter J as the first letter.

Once in high cool I was assigned a group with my buddies John, Justin, and James. We came up with the idea to be the J team so from then on in that class I signed all my papers as my J name and went by it as well.
