Glad it helps! If you need any other testing advice feel free to poke me, happy to share. I have years of cosmetic testing under my belt (very similar process) so know it pretty well
Yeah color matching is a beast. If you go down the route of homemade, invest in a good jewelry scale and turn the recipe you start from as into weight. By weight will allow exact color matching when remaking a color and will allow you to test new mixes more confidently : )
If you look at particularly indie makers (like etsy), most dont! For gouache and watercolor usually a simplistic recipe of only honey/oil is used.
For a resource, I'm using pigments from here to make milk paint but they have pre-made watercolor & recipes!

It's. Crops of oc porn sketches lol
Unfortunately now having my tablet available 24/7 has awoken the devil in me lol
RFK mentioned months ago he wanted a national register of every autistic person in the country, alongside wanting to send them to labour camps to "cure" them, which is partly what led me to this thought.
I'm assuming HSN means Health Safety Net? If that's right, absolutely agree. Augh.
Cartooncreaturelover replied with the same link I saw. Deeply concerning.
Appreciate you sending the link!
I've heard being diagnosed as autistic or ADHD can harm some people because of the record. I'm not familiar with that because my own extreme circumstance forced me to be self employed and go without my whole life, but don't doubt it at all.
I feel like Dale Gribble right now but it has me on edge.
I know the answer is likely "yes", but the cruelty in Kansas targeting trans people who never even changed their ID is making me wonder if there's secret government registries of disabled people (SS registered or not) and mental health. Obviously there's one for various racial demographics already.
I'm not as experienced in face to face vending (plus never been to a furcon sadly) so this is honestly nice to hear
Great point! ❤️ I think I'm just so blindsided that I forgot to check my own off the cuff judgement
I've heard about similar with other con artists and I can't imagine how awkward it must be to be on the receiving end of this when face to face ??
I guess the desperation of their topic focus + money burning a hole in their pocket make people bold lol
On one hand I'm sorry you're dealing with that, on the other I couldn't help but chuckle in confusion when reaching buzz/woody yaoi. ?????
Christ I somehow missed that. It feels like 8,000 things have happened in such a short amount of time. One would hope being in the age of tech our society wouldn't be so gullible and yet
Did you know America used to have poor folk wear public tags to show others they were receiving help? And that if "able-bodied" people didn't work, they would be jailed?

How about disabled people outlawed from being seen?

Remember that threat rfk made to send autistic, mentally ill people, and drug addicts to labor camps?
I never stopped taking it seriously.
Seeing America actively pull stages of a new holocaust in front of my eyes is making me wither and die inside man
i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.
Feeling very. "Not gay as in happy, queer as in fuck you" right now. Blood boiling
Ugh that's SUCH high praise thank you ;;
Yet again Gabby you speak the truth 👏

Keeping the orig donation post up for the moment. Unsure if we will go for the mastectomy yet. Whether or not we do, everything goes to her meds/treatment until it's her eventual time.
Feel incredibly lucky right now. Thanks so much to everyone who's helped. Here's Kalma's weird hands to celebrate
Her being a tiny senior does mean we have to weigh decisions, but we have the options of a partial mastectomy ($3K) as precaution, and/or pred/depo drugs to keep her comfortable ($30/month)
What I've been donated so far has helped tremendously. Huge weight off us during a rocky time.
Great news on Kalma! It's been an absolutely exhausting week, but after an xray yesterday we've confirmed her cancer was caught super early.
There's possibility it may of even been removed with her recent surgery which was biopsied and led to the discovery. She's in great condition despite it all

Lmao typing blunder. Anyway I think eugenics is genuinely one of if not /the/ greatest evil of humankind. It is the foundation to all excessive powers. Billed under sympathetic "preventative health" but is nothing more than propaganda to encourage the killing of people who don't fit narrow ideals
Have to say I'm not enjoying the new wave of casual eugenics that seems to have emerged again over the past couple years. I know why people in power push it, but it's particularly frustrating trying to talk to be around fellow commoners who drank the Anti-Humanity Poison
Me too I become rabid every time I look at him
I appreciate you telling me! I'm touched no matter how long someone's interacted with my art, but it's always meaningful to hear about having affected someone on a longer term. <3
