Hey how about some #5MinArt? Thinking about a DOOR, all skill levels and mediums welcome! Post it here when you’re done if you want!

This is just how metal bands worked in the 80s. Everyone was back of house anyway so why not start a band

Edison string lights are done, I think, and I say this as a deep lover of string lights. Edison bulbs are just like, oh I'm in a bar that only serves IPAs and Mumford and Sons is playing. No man in here has shaved in a month, including the accountants

That’s literally in the first 30 pages so I’m not spoiling anything

I’d like to note that this novel opens in media res with a celebration of the first city on Mars with several thousand people, during which a politically motivated murder occurs after an American is accused of discriminating against Muslims so maybe it’s got 2026 in spirit

"Everything is political,” Arkady said at their backs. “Nothing more so than this voyage of ours. We are beginning a new society, how could it help but be political?
“We're a scientific station," Sax said. "It doesn't necessarily have much politics to it."
"It certainly didn't last time I was there," John said, looking thoughtfully at Arkady.
"It did," Arkady said, "but it was simpler. You were an all-American crew, there on a temporary mission, doing what your superiors told you to do. But now we are an international crew, establishing a permanent colony. It's completely different."
Slowly people were drifting through the air toward the conversation, to hear better what was being said. Rya Jimenez said,
"I'm not interested in politics," and Mary
Dunkel agreed from the other end of the room: "That's one of the things I'm here to get away from!"
Several Russians replied at once. "That itself is a political position!" and the like. Alex exclaimed, “You Americans would like to end politics and history, so you can stay in a world you dominate!"
A couple of Americans tried to protest, but Alex overrode them. "It's true! The whole world has changed in the last thirty years, every country looking at its function, making enormous changes to solve problems—all but the United States. You have become the most reactionary country in the world."

Magazine page. Initial text says “"We wrote as a duo on this record, totally col-laboratively: everything was 50/50 for the first time," Phantom Slaughter confirms. "Working with him even enhanced some of my original ideas. So, I just thought, like the possibilities are endless, and we just got to take this thing over the top and push this as far as we can. And that was kind of the motto for this record." 

Underneath a big pull quote says “Pain influenced this album. -Wroth Sepentrion”

Ant Colony: Wild Forest. Demo is decent, definitely isn’t ready for release yet but it’s more that it needs to give more info, the game seems solid

a little game grid of an anthill with rooms and ants and one super buff ant with huge pecs and a six-pack teaching me how to attack a ladybug nest

I'm playing a game demo and it's otherwise a nice little anthill simulator but the tutorial is given by a disturbingly buff humanoid ant

I can't blame anyone for some 2013 nostalgia but Edison lights in your house aren't the way to go

SPOILER: while again, many styles, I am firmly a metal and rock guy and that's not changing

I keep thinking "what do I want to write songs ABOUT" and I have many themes and styles and I guess it's just write some and see what works and what other people who might want to be in a band would like

Wouldn't you rather live somewhere within a fifteen minute walk to your workplace, food, retail, and healthcare provider

I don’t, but the breathing is the least hard part I think. Lots of stuff with muscles in my stomach and keeping my shoulders and jaw relaxed

(Yes I do some regular abs stuff but I target obliques because I’m a transgender person trying to change my shape, before someone comes and yells at me)

Man singing properly is HARD. I assume this will get easier. Can I I like, lift weights about this or something, I feel like actually working on all of my abs and not focusing on my obliques might help?? Idk
