The decisions and policy that have the most profound impacts on the greatest number of human lives often aren't the ones talked about most often in political discourse.

What is the biggest difference between life in this era and say... European feudalism?

I would argue it's near universal literacy. And along with simply having access to the written word, the highest percentage of a population armed with some scraps of what you might call a "liberal arts education"

The ability to self-teach.

@futurebird there’s a few things going on with this sentiment; a piece i have more sympathy for is concern about classism: the stratification of an Educator class and a (to-be-)Educated class, and the implication that the former is actually the ruling class and so their “education” necessarily includes propaganda to sustain their power

…this isn’t true in practice, of course, but if it were, i’d share the concern

Edit: physical stickers are sold out, digital stickers and wallpapers are still available.

The nuthatch stickers are finally here! They are 3.91” x 2.31” glossy UV protected waterproof vinyl stickers and you can get them over on my ko-fi shop! I also put up a digital version of the sticker as a transparent PNG for use as an emoji or messaging sticker or desktop icon or whatever else you can think of! And if that all isn’t enough I have also listed the full image as a 16x9 phone wallpaper for download as well!

Please let me know if you plan to buy more than say 4 stickers as that may change the shipping a bit especially if you are not in the US.

I am very happy with how these turned out so please let me know if there are any other pictures of mine that you’d like to see as stickers!

@Rheall @moss @loren i actually just this past week got a posca paint pen in the mail to try — light blue/green as opposed to white, but i really like it for how smooth and even it flows. MUCH better than any white gel or paint pen i have ever tried

chrisamaphone ,
@chrisamaphone@hci.social avatar

@moss @Rheall @loren
here’s a comparison of several on black construction paper. the medium does matter a lot though so there’s a chance this would be very different for your use case

chrisamaphone ,
@chrisamaphone@hci.social avatar

@Rheall @loren @moss also it may not be clear from the sample but the gold (and silver, which i have but couldn’t find for this) Signo writes MUCH better than the white. the ink flow consistency and smoothness could not be more different. the white always takes a lot of priming and re-priming midway through writing

OK, but have you ever tried hugging a tree? Don't knock it before you try it.

@futurebird why, what happens if you knock it? does it get mad and refuse to hug you back?

I went through a phase last year of making collages out of pictures from the biodiversity heritage library. Thinking maybe I should make some more, they're fun. I guess this can be my addition to #ArtAdventCalendar for the day haha
