If your ask box is still open, what are some cheapish markers that are good for art? Copic is a bit outa my price range

Totally understandable! Copics are way overpriced so I have a couple of substitutes.

Tombow markers are dual sided brush and point tip. They are water soluble so instead of needing a blending marker you can just lightly brush the intended area to blend with water. The color is very bright and blends well, but be sure to use mixed media or thicker paper for them.

If you’re looking for something that won’t be affected by water then try Faber Castell pitt markers. The markers are filled with india ink so they don’t bleed and are archival. They don’t blend as easily though, but overlapping the colors lightly will get the job done.

Both markers run at around $3.60 a piece rather than copic’s insane $9 a piece. Both companies also sell really awesome color palette packs that are about $12.

I hope this helps!

If your idea of “social justice” can actually be boiled down to “which group is an acceptable target”, you forgot about the “justice” part.

Farewell online privacy

It actually genuinely upsets me how many people are in favour of censorship now. I guess censorship is somehow acceptable when applied to the right targets.

You can disagree with whatever controversial figure you like, that’s perfectly fine, nobody is forcing you to agree with what these people have to say.

But the moment you start calling for these people to be deplatformed, that is the moment when you are no longer in favour of free speech, but of censorship.

What happens when somebody that you actually agree with is censored? Will you stand by your beliefs that censorship is okay, or will you suddenly backtrack and be in favour of free speech again?

Free speech applies to all of us, whether you like it or not. Allowing assholes to have a voice is the price that we have to pay to make sure we retain that right.
