honestly adding a paper background to your digital canvas is a game changer and i suggest you do it if you want to feel like you're actually drawing on paper with real pencils, or at least an approximation of it. i could share some if anyone's interested

funniest language thing in modern greek is that the word for baby/infant is “moro” which literally means “idiot.” like someone looked at a baby 1000 years ago and was like “this guy doesnt know shit.”
just to be clear it meant idiot BEFORE it meant baby so like, this wasnt an insult born out of comparing people to babies, it really was people looking at babies and thinking “i dont think theres a better word to describe these things than “moron”” (which “moro” is the root word for)
i just remembered this post. i think i should add onto it:
“moro mou” (my baby) is an affectionate nickname for a partner in greek, the same way “baby/babe” is in english. however this does mean that you are ostensibly calling your partner “my moron <3”

white people please just purchase native artwork and jewelry from native people i keep seeing idiot white people be like “waaah i wish i could support native creators but its cultural appropriation” girl why would beaders sell you their earrings then. just dont get a medicine wheel or a thunderbird then like damn it is that easy
If Native folks are making it to sell to white people with the approval of their tribe, it’s not “appropriation”–its support and appreciation! So yes, buy that native-made dream catcher, but not the mass produced fakes made by white people. Like, you can go to a pow wow and buy native crafts there, too.
here are some places to get native/indigenous goods and merch online if you can’t find something local or if physical access is an obstacle:
