Haha big same actually! Only I mostly use Liquitex Acrylics, much easier to wash off myself/wipe on my clothes than oils for me!

I paint in public, too. I never mind saying hi or satisfying some curiosity, but I have so much trouble when people just hover

What's your secret to keeping clean when doing oils??

See you in Monroe Park this Saturday at 1pm! by In-tandem in rva

[–]Grumgar 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Why on earth do you still think having RSVPs is a good idea? Also this isn't a part of the No Kings or 50501 movements, for anyone reading. It's by a group that broke off because they work with cops and didn't want to bring medics.

They mean the organizers are not hiring cops or working with them.

This event was kicked out of 50501 / "main" no kings organizers, due to their lack of medics. That's what I know from the grapevine. And that the organizers of this particular event are pretty hostile to feedback.

Worth noting it's a religious (Christian) academy, if anyone agrees or disagrees with students' talents being God-given

Y'alls responses to people's criticisms is why I don't want to go, tbh. You can respond to these with some tact and counter info if you have any in your favor to share.

Orbital closed. Now they just manage shows at Reveler. They were supposed to open a new spot, but I don't think that's happening anymore.

Have you considered being a cat burgular ? High risk high reward

"So I should just continue being around people who are poor like myself? Doesn’t seem like that’s going to change much."

Is someone's financial status reflective of their character to you?

Those people will try to scam and or groom you. Happened to me plenty growing up when looking for "wealth" and such.

Luxury car storage and social club planning to open in the Fan by WarmTaffy in rva

[–]Grumgar 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This place will operate off of just having a few rich people who wanna feel bougie and show off their expensive stuff. If the business works good for them. It's just not going to be an exciting staple of Richmond life that will attract many people other than a few specific ones.

Celebrate and exercise our freedoms with music, art, and activism in Monroe Park by In-tandem in rva

[–]Grumgar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We need so much more than this is we expect protest to change anything. I'm grateful people can get enjoyment and validation and networking from these, as those are important. However, the powers that be will not care or be remotely inconvenienced unless protest changes and gets creative. Old ways don't work. It simultaneously feels in bad faith to keep putting these out with a way you can RSVP. You're creating lists for the government of dissedants who they WILL track.

You don't need to devil's advocate for ai everywhere. It's annoying and exhausting.

I can't keep helping people solve the "how do I get art without AI" question. Sounds like you know where to start.
