overview for 1d420

I found myself listening to the same like eight or nine songs everyday, and I want to branch out more. I like artists like DOOM, Nas, Aesop Rock, Brother Ali, JID, Jarv, Homeboy Sandman, Mayhem Lauren, Little Simz and Westside Gunn. Anybody know anything good I can try?

I noticed a lot of companies (Coates for example) make their charcoal out of willow and I always liked those companies because they're really smooth and dark. A couple of weeks ago the willow tree in my back yard lost a branch so I broke it up into pencil-sized pieces and used TKOR'S paint can method for making charcoal. It was super easy and once everything cooled down I wrapped my favorite ones in painters tape and put the rest in a box! Here's a pic of the ones I used to draw that. I think the different shapes they came out in gave me a cool variety of different tools but I should have straightened some of them out when I was drying the branch.

I'm looking forward to practicing with this medium more, I used to love it but I haven't done anything with it in years.

I was surprised to see people don't do it more here. Lemmy has such a knowledgeable and supportive community and it's such a good place to go for honest constructive feedback

Thank you! I think this piece took me like four hours. And definitely give it a go! I forgot how much fun it is to work with

Let's also not forget Lateral, which he said he'll still be doing and is quickly becoming my favorite podcast!

How to politely tell a family member I'm not worried about the second coming of Christ? (lemmy.world)

My aunt is a wonderful lady, but she's very gullible. Thanks to a video she saw on Facebook, she now believes the conflict in Israel is a sign of the end times and is deeply concerned for my immortal soul. How do I politely let her know that while I appreciate her concern I have no real reason to believe that the Israeli government commiting war crimes against Palestine is going to bring about the second coming of Christ?
