I realised I need a place to rant every day, post my sketchbook roughs, and all the learning that I have never really posted anywhere. I thought of Threads for a while (Twitter/X has always been overwhelming), but I really really don't like word limits when I'm ranting, and it would help if I am ranting in a relatively less crowded space, so here I am. 😁😁

Such precise lines

Bird sketches in honor of some of this autumn's bird visitations. A Barred Owl glided alongside a trail in William O'Brien State Park on a chilly afternoon hike. Closer to home, a trio of Flickers visited the back yard at the end of October.

Currently reading Sofia Samatar's The White Mosque. From page 12: "The more I tell it, the more implausible it sounds. I wonder about the effects of telling repeatedly, over a lifetime, a story this odd, of having to make an identity out of such a story, and of seeing, again and again, on the faces of listeners, expressions of wonderment: slack mouths, wide eyes, the brief shocked laughter. I think it might make someone feel like a mistake, a cosmic gaffe. It might make a person feel like a sort of traveling theater, exotic and ephemeral, pitching camp in the scrub where the forest meets the road, belonging to no town. It might make you feel like a carnival mask, too gaudy for everyday use. It might make you love such things. You might become a devotee of the bizarre. The tale that provokes a gasp of disbelief might feel like yours. You might become happiest, most at home, with the implausible."

I am head over heels in love with Chinese ink. Even a bad drawing like this can be given that raw and rustic look good with Chinese Ink.

Women.

The left one is taken from a random photo on insta, while the right one is one of my first imaginary faces. Still figuring out the shading. Day 2

Woohooo!

This is not a drill. Our new Community Guidelines are here. 

We recently introduced Community Labels to give everyone more control over their dashboard experience. With this new feature, you can adjust your feed to your preferred comfort level by setting the types of content you want to see. It was our first step toward a more open Tumblr. 

Today, we’re taking the next step: We now welcome a broader range of expression, creativity, and art on Tumblr, including content depicting the human form (yes, that includes the naked human form).

So, even if your creations contain nudity, mature subject matter, or sexual themes, you can now share them on Tumblr using the appropriate Community Label so that everyone remains in control of the types of content they see on their dash. 

We have updated our Community Guidelines to reflect these changes; the rest of our content policies remain the same: We still don’t allow hate, spam, violent threats, or anything illegal, and visual depictions of sexually explicit acts remain off-limits on Tumblr (if you want to know more about that, our CEO Matt recently explained why it’s not feasible for us to safely and successfully support porn communities at this time). If you come across these types of content, please continue to report them to us.

Similarly, if you come across content on Tumblr that doesn’t appear to be appropriately labeled, please let us know. This is how we’ll work together to create safer spaces for everyone on Tumblr, whatever their interests and needs. 

We hope this shift creates more room for artistic expression to flourish on Tumblr while empowering each of you to craft your own experience and safely explore and discover the things you love.

Do you understand the violence it took to become this gentle?

Starting a streak to see how far I can go without pause.
