in light of Trump's inauguration speech declaring multiple national emergencies that require him to take god-knows-what executive actions immediately, I'd like to remember this chapter of "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder:

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…
And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…
Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.
He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.
I'm not dead! Shocking, I know. I've just had a ton of art block and tests. But I'm back, and I drew Jane Doe from ride the cyclone. I might draw some other musical roles, mainly ones I want to play.
I grew up watching Anastasia on DVD, and so I decided to rewatch it recently. Enjoy my drawing!
I decided to draw Lafayette in my style. Hope you like it!
Happy pride month, everyone! So, if you know me, you know, I really like greek and roman mythology, which led me to draw four gods/goddesses/I don't know what else to call them. So, further adieu, these are my pride drawings.
Athena (goddess of wisdom and war)
Aphrodite (goddess of sexual love and beauty)
Apollo (God of music, poetry, art, prophecy, truth, archery, plague, healing, sun and light)
Hermaphroditus (God/Goddess of effeminacy)
Sappho (goddess of love and desire between women)
So, I know I haven't posted in a while, but I think you guys would like this. If you need something to watch over summer break, I highly recommend Opal by Jack Stauber.
