(I tend to break out with setting sprays)

I’m trying to find something I don’t need a setting spray for. The one I originally used didn’t smear without setting spray

Also I have this weird theory now that drug store liquid eyeliner is actually superior to higher end liquid eyeliner. I’m not saying this holds true for all makeup, this is specific to liquid eyeliner.

Everyone I am in MOURNING. (Also look I’m loving something so normal and solvable happening in my life. This is actually wonderful. I’m making a huge fuss because this is a giant nothing burger and I love it!)

It needs to be good for oily lids—otherwise I’ll end up a smeared mess after a few hours. My HG that I used until they recently stopped making it was the one from prestige cosmetics, which straight up was better than anything I tried from higher end brands.

My favorite waterproof liquid eyeliner officially stopped being manufactured. I am currently in mourning (yes I am accepting flowers at this time), and I’m also asking advice from all the makeup ladies, theydies, and gentlemen. What’s your favorite *waterproof* liquid eyeliner with a *felt tip*??

This is someone who doesn’t know that treating artists like people—which actually can even involve sometimes telling them to take a break—is part of directing them

I think instead of trying to make it clearer, you should go full chaos. Make the descriptions more and more abstract.

At the time I knew nothing about plants, did not know you needed drainage, and just put it in a bag with soil. It actually grew surprisingly tall!!! (Several feet if I recall correctly?!) But the roots did eventually rot because… uhhh… it lived in a bag and not a pot with drainage…

Somewhere buried in my camera roll is the potato that @robmanuel.bsky.social and I grew together at work. Because he was sent a potato, and that absolutely DELIGHTED and baffled me. For now, I’m just going to tell you all of this wonderful wonderful potato.

Or James Buchanan, I think that’s the general agreement among historians re: who wears the clown nose.

For context: in the summer of ’71, Nixon was secretly recording everything, had just created the team that would cause Watergate, was planning to blow up the global economy, had announced a trip to Communist China (he’d built his career denouncing it), and the Vietnam War was still grinding on.

It’s national clown week/international clown week through the 7th in case you’ve been feeling particularly silly and couldn’t put a finger on why.

PROCLAMATION 4071-AUG. 2, 1971

After that is text about why we should appreciate clowns.

The last part of the text re: clown week, as well as Nixon’s signature. After that is proclamation 4072 regarding National Highway Week.

When your friend posts about International Clown Week, and you decide to do a little reading, and then you learn that Nixon declared National Clown Week official in 1971.

Yes, I have come with receipts. I had to get to the bottom of this funny business. 🤡

Thank you for calling it what it is. Falsifying evidence.

When a white woman falsifies evidence and lies using the legal system to threaten, silence, and intimidate someone of color they have wronged, it's rather misogynistic to call it "petty high school BS."

It's not "high school." Its calculated, career-ending ABUSE.

It's also perjury. A felony.

So, yeah, longer thread coming tomorrow after I have slept, because this whole team has been working SO hard to get this out, but Draw Steel introduces Art Description, a new form of image description combining alt text and new standards based on art museum best practices for image description.

Hey @dropout.tv: love your work, can you make sure POC TTRPG creators won't be affected by coming out about Carlos and/or Saige and that his influence will not affect their past, present, or future work at Dropout?

@bdavewalters.bsky.social's account is harrowing.
