i actualy have so many new local cool autistic trans friends that ive enjoyed hanging out with / want to hang out with now but we are also all disabled in some way or another or many and i live in a little soup bowl separated by a big hill nobody wants to venture over so we usually just organise to fungle together then cancel on each other a billion times then see everyone all at once at protests
I’m a man who will often say that things are sexy hot because I think they’re cool. I need you to know that this image has impacted my brain so immensely that it has transcended to true sexy. this is heavily erotic to me and I need you to know that
In a statement to The Post, a spokesperson for NBCUniversal claimed the tree work is simply an annual ritual at this time of year. “We understand that the safety tree trimming of the Ficus trees we did on Barham Blvd. has created unintended challenges for demonstrators, that was not our intention. In partnership with licensed arborists, we have pruned these trees annually at this time of year to ensure that the canopies are light ahead of the high wind season,” they wrote. “We support the WGA and SAG’s right to demonstrate and are working to provide some shade coverage. We continue to openly communicate with the labor leaders on-site to work together during this time.”
If those trees were pollarded annually, the cut areas would NOT look like that. There would be big knobs of old growth at the trimming sites. Not seeing any of that here. The way those trees were topped (not pollarded, which is a very careful process that has to begin when the tree is immature) is excellent way to kill them due to loss of hydration, open sites to infection and parasitism during the best time of year for both, lack of nutrition due to so little greenery and new budding growth being left, sunburn and other exposure damage, and a myriad of other possibilities. Plus, if they were topped annually, they would not have the lovely drooping branches seen in the other picture but would have tons of vertical suckers instead.
This is what an annually pollarded mature tree should look like:
If this was done by the city, the public works arborists should be protesting in front of city hall and screaming their heads off right now. I'm not hearing about that, so... Tree law!
Hypothetically speaking. ‘ if someone wanted to start drawing at a teen age do you think she or he would as good as the people who worked their whole lives’
I don’t think people fully realise that “teen age” is, how do I put it, Young As Heck? 😭 I understand (and remember) that living for like 12-18 years feels like A LOT, but in a grander scale of things it really isn’t. 25 is young. 33 is young.
So If you do start at a teenage age, you have SO many more years ahead of you, I wouldn’t really be worried about not drawing since you were, say, 5. It helps, yeah, but it shouldn’t stop you from starting something! No age is too old to start Anything you’re interested in!
Life is (ideally) quite long. There shouldn’t be a certain age you pass and think that, no, I am already too old to start learning that, you aren’t! Life is for learning new things, regardless of ones age^^
And also, there Always will be people better than you at something. There are plenty of 16 year olds with much larger potential and art predisposition than me. Already, so much better than me even if *technically* I had like a 10 year old early start compared to them. There are plenty people my age that aren’t as experienced at art as me. Regardless of your age, it will always go both ways. You will always be better than someone at something you do, and worse than someone else, just because…there are just so many people and it’s just how it works. So I don’t think that comparing yourself (with no experience in drawing) to someone who has been drawing for a long time (and most likely started as inexperienced as you) would be a very healthy approach.
I’d definitely say don’t let your age stop you. Whatever it is. It’s never too late to start something and I Sincerely Mean It.
