For fine tip miniature work I have also put cheap hair gel on the brush tip to hold the piont. Milage may vary based on bushtype and technique.

Hey! Long time artist here who paints all kinds of things, from metal lawn art to actual paintings. Rule number one- wash your bushes out in cool water, not hot or warm, as hot water can loosen the glue that holds the bristles in. Second get a small tub of brush restorer. A little goes a long way. Once the brush is dry, add a little brush restorer and reshape the tip and bristles. You can use sharp sizzors to clip and stray brush hairs that won’t stay in place. And keep paining!

I use a alcohol swab on my phone everyday after work. I get em in bulk and just wipe my phone down. Quick and disposable so I can take a bunch with me when I travel.

Your squash looks so good! We have been cooking with a lot of butternut lately, haven’t tried to grow acorn yet.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t tape a hose in it’s mouth, that’s illegal. You have a two fold problem. Your husband holds negative viewpoints about women, and your daughter. Your daughter has internalized those ideas. College or not, your daughter is being set up so she will always be reliant on a man. It may do her good to leave for college, any college, just so she might experience a broader prespective.

Damn, I had no idea.

That book was amazing! I started reading it at friends house and had to buy my own copy to read the ending.

Too much green can be a problem in a painting. I like the tree behind it, but maybe you could tone it down darker and cut the bright green. That would also make the top of the ornament pop more.

I just got back into No Mans Sky having not playing since release and I was blown away. Base biulding!? I can have PETS!? It’s like a whole new game.

I’m the opposite, lots of rapid fire photos, but I do photo a lot of animals. I don’t pose them either. I like candid shots of the pets doing there thing.

I would say under ten years if we are talking about staying in “life as we know it.” Global food supplies are at risk. We are going to see mass die offs in large portions of the ocean. AMOC and the Jet stream will continue to wobble around causing mayhem. Coastale areas will become eroded and huge portions of the infrastructure will become unfixable as the disasters come too frequently for any real, long term repairs to remain.

Think about that term, tipping piont. Tipping does not imply a gentle decent.

I’m not doing anything for the forth. Fuck America, I am not celebrating my country, because my country wants me dead. Fuck em.

Probably also my fate. Cooking the food, dying during childbirth. Would be blissfully unaware of what a stock market is. Upsides, downsides.

Damn I knew they had cannibal island but not plauge island.

Unfortunately we have crossed the tipping points and reducing our emissions in a few years isn’t going to help much.

We’re so fucked. Could we maybe not have world war three at the same time as climate induced system collapse? Is that too much to ask for?

Richard Gere. His eyes look like he’s laughing at a joke, but his face tells me the jokes on the audience.

Poeple can be good and bad, or good in one situation and bad in another. Just because someone does something good doesn’t disqualify the bad that they do. My first roomate was a firefighter. She loved what she did, but she was also a ceral cheater who cheated on her fiancé with multiple men. When he caught wind of all the men coming and going from our place she threw me under the bus and said I was the slut. That man probably still hates me for my fabricated sins to this day. Her saving people and pets from fires didn’t negate the fact she was lying to everyone to cover up her multiple affairs.

911 = never forget Covid = die for the economy Trump 2nd Term = who cares about the economy anyway?

I think I have whiplash at this piont.

That’s the one I’m on! It helped me immensely and I could never picture going back now. It was so bad at one piont I could barely get out of bed for anything and now I hop right out of bed to get the day started! Been on it for many years now, and have no regrets.
