This is the result of my first attempt at making my own charcoal to draw with and I couldn't be happier. Leucistic Curtains by L. Lamm (me) Charcoal, 2024
  • Good work. You really nailed the softer shaded areas. You must be very patient to fill out a whole scene like this in detail.

    Very satisfying to look at. Makes me want to hunt down my own charcoal sticks and take a jab at some mark making...

    Lately, I've switched from coffee to a nice, soothing cup of tea.
  • Thank you, no one has ever accused me of looking at a situation objectively and I'm not about to start now, anyway now everyone sign my petition to put warning labels on tea

  • Black tea to me feels like the sledgehammer, whereas coffee is this smooth slightly syrupy beverage, that feels much more delicate. Case in point for me, I prefer my coffee black, but I would have a hard time handling a cup of tea without at least a bit of oat milk.

    I don't know where tea gets this "gentle" PR from but I find it highly dishonest and honestly I'm tired of keeping my mouth shut about it so there now I've said it

    Lately, I've switched from coffee to a nice, soothing cup of tea.
  • I had that, and still get it from time to time, but found that if I wait until I've eaten to drink tea that it feels fine.

    Coffee on an empty stomach is nothing, but strong tea on an empty stomach has me feeling like being assaulted at a molecular level

    What are the craziest misconceptions you’ve heard about programming from people not familiar with it?
  • I mean the classic is that you must be "really good at computers" like I'm okay at debugging, just by being methodical, but if you plop me in front of a Windows desktop and ask me to fix your printer; brother, I haven't fucked with any of those 3 things in over a decade.

    I would be as a baby, learning everything anew, to solve your problem.

  • Yeah you can tell the installer just had a time limit hard-coded, like it took them about two minutes on their test machine,

  • I recently started jogging through this long, dark trail that hosts a nearby homeless encampment, and honestly didn't think about it at all until my partner raised her eyebrow at where I was jogging. Just one of those little patriarchy taxes that I don't have to pay.

    Not that unhoused people are particularly dangerous or anything, but still you're less certain if you're going to meet someone on a really bad day there
