#inktober folks: Do you have a favorite introductory-to-intermediate book on pen drawing?

28. More books. #AutumnHearthChallenge #MastoArt #drawing #books #bookstodon

Lost the last one by 2.5. Intense! Two more games tomorrow.

I "won" my second game of the tournament because my opponent resigned, thinking (incorrectly) that she was caught in a snapback. #HalfThisGameIs90PercentMental

Locked blades
Grinding together
Until the tips press into our chests
And the blood begins to drip
As we inch toward the cliff

(Lost my first game of the tournament when, with both of us in overtime, I noticed too late that a chain of false eyes leading to safety was one liberty too short.)

Presumably if, while wearing these gloves, one of my fingers is cut off, two more will grow back in its place.

Sent to my Congressperson:

Representative Chavez-DeRemer:

I was shocked and appalled to learn that my representative had voted for Mike Johnson for Speaker of the House.

You voted for someone who would deny our LGBTQ+ citizens their basic freedoms in the name of his extreme religious views?

Someone who actively opposes efforts to deal with the climate catastrophe that is already setting our state on fire every year?

Someone who opposes any attempt to fight the scourge of guns, now the leading cause of death in the US?

Someone who tried, in coordination with a terrorist attack on our Capitol, to overthrow our democratically-elected government?

What were you thinking?

Reader, we played all of these games (plus two more we threw in after the photo was taken), a couple of them more than once. In three of them @htdrake beat me by one point.

Parts of all the books were read and two finished.

Much art was created, as seen in my feed.

I did juggle the balls, but the weather wasn't good enough to hit the beach with the clubs.
