The hardest part about getting a tattoo is *not* the pain of the needle, which is a common misconception, but instead deciding which of the 20 tattoo ideas you want to move forward with for this appointment/artist.

Oh I’m definitely still not rooting for the cops. I hope everyone loses.

Sounds like the app formerly known as Twitter

We should maybe be thanking him bc I get no dopamine from Twitter anymore.

For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.

Right there with ya
