#inktober2024 day 1. I'm doing the 100 heads challenge, or at least using those as references, and I'm trying out a brush-pen-plus-coloured-pencil approach that I rather like as a style. So here's day 1.

A head of a black man drawn in brush pen, slightly cartoonish in style, with shadows added in a red pencil. The model is looking to the right, eyes widened and mouth slightly open in a surprised or perhaps fearful expression.

What a glorious truth to read spelled out, so unexpectedly and necessarily and shockingly, because of where we find ourselves

I usually do inktober in October, but this year I think I'll do my own thing and I want to practice drawing faces. Might post my drawings here since I'm no longer active on twitter. Is there an #inktober2024 community here? Maybe I'll find out tomorrow 😂

Just casually scrolling through tumblr and it's like "America doesn't have public toilets and that is Right, they just enable the Mentally Ill!" "My job ignored my disability limits and if that happens to you just quit it's not worth it" and "This is how to ensure you get a vote if you turn up!"

Gladiator has a special place in my heart because it was the first film i saw with my mother where i took HER. She didn't take me. I was back from uni. I knew she loved history but didn't think she was 'allowed' to. I bought the tickets. She came with me. /1

"[Scotland] has detected no cases of cervical cancer in women born between 1988-1996 who were fully vaccinated against HPV between the ages of 12 and 13." That's honestly so amazing.

HPV vaccine study finds zero cases of cervical cancer among women vaccinated before age 14

In a large Scottish study, no cases of cervical cancer were found among women who received HPV vaccines before they turned 14.
