  The owner of a local art store and head of our urban sketchers chapter is starting a website she envisions will be a worldwide sketch book. Its to post art of or inspired by places around the world and pinned to a map, much like inaturalist does for flora & fauna. She is looking for testers, basically any artist interested in trying it out. Its in the beta stage, but if you are interested in checking it out, the address is: https://drawnhere.net/ (1/2)

  Spouse and I just got back from a class at a pottery place nearby. We made mushrooms. I looked over at my spouse at one point and they finished like 7 mushrooms. Most people had 1 to 3. A young guy across from us was super creative and put a bunch of tiny shrooms on a log. I love seeing how everyone's brain works and all of the different ideas other class participants had

  I was talking with my mom about a news story involving an inebriated driver and people with a dashcam. It became an ethics problem. Our question is, if someone is witnessed breaking the law is it okay for other people to profit off of the incident if they see opportunity to?

  I stole this from a local tv station's website. Its so hard to easily find good instructions for diy air cleaners #DIY

  Has anyone else noticed a new trend of tiny 3-d printed resin toys being left in public places? I was given one at pride, then saw some in a little library and last night I saw one in a fast food restaurant. It reminds me of painted rocks a few years ago.

  Has anyone else encountered this? I have been talking to a friend who is a trans woman and thus looking stuff up for information and twice on Duckduck I have not gotten what I searched for. Once I looked for transgender affirming care info and it fed me only porn. I thought that was a fluke. Then I looked for trans style guides and it gave me husband crossdressing information from wives. It gave me a bad feeling

  I am behind on logging my tv for last month. There was one show I watched that I felt was worth a mention. I am in love with Zach Galifianakis's new show "This Is A Gardening Show". It is 90s PBS in the best way, but also funny. Its for both kids and adults. Also, the future is agrarian. I want that on a bumper sticker

  Our current mayor, who was funded by realestate companies, lost the race. And, more people voted in this midterm election, in my area, than had in previous midterms. Time to celebrate the small wins! [does a little dance]

  I recently watched the Netflix special Will & Harper about Harper Steele, former SNL writer, and her story about her transition. I am looking for more pieces like this. Even single episodes of shows would be nice. Recommendations and boosts welcome.

  Is anyone else watching this show? Its on a weird platform, but the show is very good. The latest episode was excellent. The allegories about tech and greed seem spot on to me. My favorite quote: "This is the shape I come in!"

  And, the garden is planted. Finally. No lettuce or spring veggies this year. But, I am trying corn, beans and squash for the first time. I did not space their plantings out correctly, time wise. It is a fun experiment for me. There is often too much shade in that corner of my parents' yard. #gardening

  Here is a bookmark that I made for a local craft swap. Took me forever to figure out what to do. Its theme was Hope and Resilience. Then I was like, Salmon! #Mastoart #Watercolor

  As a nonbinary and genderqueer person I have conflicting feelings on the subject of leg shaving. How do you feel about shaving your legs? Please choose your preference, not what you currently choose to do.

  Spouse just looked out the window at our newly opened flowers and said "Welp, pilgrims any day now." 😂

  I painted a couple of mermaids. Knowing me, I really need to take a break and finish them tomorrow. I am nervous to paint the water. Not sure if I should give the mermaids the same hue as the water or paint around them. Crossing my fingers that whatever I pick works out because they are pretty cute.

  me: Yup, this looks right. [writes "inflammed"] Also me: You keep writing inflammed. What is flamming? [sighs]

  Today's prompt: draw something with only 3 colors The reference pic is a meme I've seen floating around. So, if you recognize it, that's why. #Mastoart #ArtPrompt

  For trans day of visibility, I remembered an incident that happened to a friend of a friend. It involves an older teen struggling and feeling lonely and parents who are trying to be supportive but do not know how. This teen is trans. A good tool to have on hand is knowing your local, state and national trans and queer resources. We have a citywide queer association, and they are the doorway to resources that can help teens and adults or hold an array of social events. 1/2 #TransDayOfVisiblity

  Does anyone know if there is a hashtag for art prompts? I know two specialty ones like drawtober and sillycuratorprompts (I miss these), but I was curious if there was an all encompassing one that people use #AskFedi

  Does anyone have an affordable suggestion for avoiding neck strain while drawing or painting? I currently sit at a table and use a little wood book stand, but even that is really hurting my neck and shoulders with my muscle tension issues I've been having lately.
