A drawing I just finished for someone in Japan. Strategically placed Waterman fountain pen and cap that serves as watermark. I’m supposed to add hashtags for the machines, right? #doodle #lineart #abstract. There, was that enough? (drawing took 15 hours maybe)

if all we have is sanitized history, we can’t use it to really learn what to avoid, so we have to live through them. Which seems like a dreadful waste when we could have had real history had we not whitewashed it.

I found, in a notebook, something I wrote, probably last year. I think I must have copied it from somewhere, but when I search for the sentences in chatgpt and google they come up empty. Did I write this? It’s possible I also wrote it describing a scene or two from Queen’s Gambit. Thoughts?
