one of the main reasons that I've disliked duolingo for a while (that isn't all the ai stuff) is that this app basically convinced a lot of people that all they had to do to learn a language was to do a few gamefied "lessons" a day and not, you know, actually studying or engaging with the language

I think it's just a recipe for disappointment on all fronts tbh

You have these layers of acrylic paint that we love to peel off. What do you think? Wouldn't they make for some great animations?

You won't find me being this much of a Pollyanna again so here it goes:

In these difficult times, interaction with the arts, even on the Internet, is a good thing that keeps it alive and reminds us that art is beyond the art market, beyond critics, and independent of the hyperbole of social media. It's an essential but neglected part of our society that many would try to censor or dismiss to irrelevancy. We must continue to create things that have meaning to us and support others that do so as well.

I hope all of you do a painting this year, write a song, read something you learn from or see something that expands your vision . This is part of the way people have shared their sense of the world with others. Communication is a human need. We need to remind ourselves how personal art is and strip it of the idea that it is simply a commodity to be traded. It's not a ticket to stardom or part of a plan for world domination. People drew on cave walls. They wanted to know themselves. You can do it too. There's art and love and not much else. Let's do things and save each other's lives.

Thank you to the first home of this blog, which is Tumblr and all the people that interact. Happy New Year

Seal Script (Zhuànshū 篆书) is the oldest form of Shufa(Chinese calligraphy) still in use today. It emerged during the Zhou Dynasty and was standardized in the Qin Dynasty. The characters are often elongated and composed of balanced, curved lines. It can look complex and retains a somewhat pictorial quality, reminding you of its origins in ancient inscriptions on bronzes and bones. In short, it's a highly artistic and historical style, often used for seals and formal inscriptions. OP is writing the Chinese idiom "能歌善舞neng ge shan wu" describes a person who is both a skilled singer and an elegant dancer. (cr 云舒先生)
