She replies, "Yes yes, please do."

He stands up slowly, clears his throat, and emphatically declares, "Comprehensive!” He then returns to his seat.

The widow looks at him with tears in her eyes and whispers, "Thank you. That means everything."😭

#Art #PenAndInk #ArtBooster #ViewFromMyWindow I moved into this house in October, 2022-- after years of making do--in crowded bedrooms, dusty, dark basements--I have a studio--full of light, windows over my drawing table--a skylight.

Embarrassing confession: I once lied on my resume and claimed I was "George Santos"

On Twitter, I felt invisible and felt like I was pissing into the winds with my posts. Mastodon is the news reader I've been trying to create for years, with the added bonus of having more human interactions than Twitter. I'm so tired of performative posting to create engagement.
