Remembering Alan Turing who was born #OTD in 1912.

Maybe the world of computers would be a different one without him.

This is not just breaking a taboo on a day where the Bundestag was supposed to remember the Holocaust, it will backfire for the Conservatives as the pandering to the far right has backfired for the Tories in Britain.

A huge victory for the AfD. A dark day for Germany.

Why do people never learn.

Same, I think if there were group chats on here, the last few of my friends still holding on could be convinced to switch. I only use the group chats (and one other) on there, have stopped everything else.

Same, one or the other of my friends on there just don't want to start anew (yet?) and I too fear I might lose them. Thus, I'm only using DMs for chats, otherwise not posting, not liking, not anything, just ignoring...

I love brusho, so easy to use and get the most interesting/gorgeous effects, especially when it splits up in 2 or 3 different colours upon contact with water! 🥰

Color watercolor sketch of a red mill and its reflection

Something a little scrappier today. A quick color study of (another!) red mill. I wanted to get the fabulous color differences in the reflection. Once I've tweaked the composition this may well end up in a bigger version #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorlandscape #chromamagic

Some abstract #watercolour experiment, just using different techniques (plastic card, table salt, Brusho powder). Reminds me of an underwater scene with corals, maybe? 🤔
