I can see the other one too, but it does not allow me to reply to it, in either English or Undetermined.
I can see this
yes. This is very odd.
I haven't, but how can I check if the people leaving the comments have/haven't? And how can I get them to change it, if they have, if I can;t reply to them?
Woo! Another comment I can see! (faints). Your system of loose pages inside a folder reminds me very much of the Everbook system. How do you handle pages you're filing away? What do you store them in?
Also:
drinking journal
I wholeheartedly approve of this. Cheers!
I haven't started an instance. I've started a single community on sh.itjust.works. I have already been interacting successfully with other communities, it seems to be only the one I made that's having problems. And I don't think it's related to federating, because most of the comments I can't see are from users on my own instance.
It feels very much like a shadowban, except I know it's not, because of that one single comment I can see.
My daughter joined Neopets in its early days, when she was about 13 or 14. She's 34 now and still active there.
I started on mailing lists in the mid 1990s. I forget the name of the platform I started on* but it got taken over by eGroups and then Yahoo, and started to suck a bit after that. Basicaly, you'd go to the website to find groups to subscribe to, and all the content would come to you by email. You reply by email, and your reply went to everyone subscribed to that particular group. It was crude but efficient, and I really miss some of those communities.
- I found it. It was OneList.
Yes they do, and its almost impossible to say which is "best". There's one that's best for your paper/canvas, your brushes and your technique. The only way to find the best for you, is to buy a few tubes of different brands and see which ones you prefer/find easiest. And don't worry about wasting paints if you don't like them; stick with white and primary colours and you can use the others for different techniques. You can even mix paint of different brands, to get a balance between them.
There isn't really any such thing as "chalky" acrylic. There are chalky watercolors, usually the sort you buy in a set of 36 for a dollar, and they aren't even fit for a five-year-old. You won't be able to get the effect you want with those.
You can scumble (dry-brush) with almost any tube acrylic, provided that it's not too wet. Avoid the runny sort of paint that comes in a bottle. Those are made for crafts, model-painting and acrylic pours. They won't be thick enough.
Use the paint straight from the tube, don't add any water, mix your colors on a palette and use a dry, stiff, round or fan brush with very little paint on it at a time. Wipe any excess off on tissue first, if you find it's going on too thick. Acrylic paint dries fast so you can make layers over layers and cover up errors easily if necessary.
Using gouache for scumbling is also possible but harder, because unlike acrylic paint, gouache will "re-activate" even when dry, so you can find that your bottom layers will start to smear and blend with upper ones. That won't happen with acrylic. You can't blend on the paper as easily with acrylic as you can with gouache; this may or may not be a disadvantage, depending on what you're trying to achieve.
Your working surface is also key; you'll need canvas (primed with gesso) or a rough, textured cold-press paper.
Lastly, don't use your best, most expensive brushes. Once you use a brush for dry-brushing with acrylic, it's pretty much ruined for any other purpose. Keep some cheap brushes that you use for this purpose only.
That's awesome, and it makes me so happy.
Just remember that you don't have to journal every day for it to be a rewarding and pleasurable experience. And if you skip a day, or a few days, or a few weeks, or even longer, so what? It doesn;t matter and it doesn't mean you've failed. Just pick it up again whenever you want or whenever you feel it might be helpful.
Yes I can see both, but can only reply to the Undetermined one
