HUGE SHOUTOUT TO DARE BRITT FOR PUTTING PASTA IN HER WACOM PEN AND SAVING MY LIFE
(yes the picture above is done using a spagetti for a nib and it works)
yes it bloody works, we can finally be poor artists
A recent meme post actually confirmed you can use spagetti as nibs for your wacom and it works just fine! it actually fucking works and wow.
By far, this is one of the best life hacks an artist could find.
yes, this means you won’t have to worry about buying new nibs for your wacom, horray!
THIS NEEDS A BOOST
WHAT THE FUCK
This pen is ancient
They don’t sell nibs for it anymore and I’m SCREAMING
Pressure works
TILT WORKS (!!!??!!!)
REBLOG TO SAVE A LIFE
HOW ABOUT WE DON’T?
Taken from user Cinnabees:
Guys, I keep seeing that post going around about putting uncooked spaghetti noodles in your tablet pen to work as replacement nibs, and I know OP means well and stuff, but PLEASE DON’T DO THAT.
Pasta, no matter how smooth it is, is still a product of dry flour, and rubbing it down on a surface creates micro-sized grit that will scratch up your screen faster than any tablet nib, and they wear down even faster, so it won’t even be worth it. Also, it’s so brittle, if it breaks inside the pen, it will be difficult to clean it out.
Tablet nibs are a pain to replace and buy, but buying a 10 pack of them for $7-8 on Amazon is going to be a better choice than having to pay a heftier sum to repair a scratched up tablet surface/screen.
Spread this post if you can, because I’d really hate to see someone accidentally damage their tablets this way.
YEAH HOLY SHIT DO NOT FUCKING DO THIS TO YOUR SCREEN TABLETS UNLESS YOU WANT DEAD PIXELS AND MICRO SCRATCHES ALL OVER YOUR SCREEN CREATING ACTUAL DEAD ZONES WHERE YOUR PEN WONT ACTUALLY DRAW ANYMORE like that’s a fucking LIGHTNING FAST way to destroy your 1000-3000$ piece of hardware
And there we go. Debunked.
Lmao yeah please don’t scrape your $2000 screen with spaghetti
Don’t watch it. Do not watch this fucked up mess of a show. Listen, I’ve been working in suicide prevention for almost six years, and I grew up in an area that had epidemics of teen suicides. The area is actually so well known that the show-writers and producers met with leading experts in the area on the ways that the media contributes to youth suicides – and then did almost everything they were warned not to do, even going so far as to actually show the suicide on-screen. Many of the experts that they’ve spoken with are expressing grave disappointment with how the show proceeded despite their advice.
If you’re suicidal, if you’re depressed, if you self-harm, and/or if you have any trauma associated with that, please do not watch this show. It was incredibly irresponsibly handled and puts people in very real danger.
reblogging this again because it is insanely triggering and i want you all to be safe
that book was the most suicide-glorifying thing i ever laid hands on and i cannot believe it got as popular as it did because it really tries to drop the message of “hey if you die, everyone will realize what a beautiful, tragic figure you are and also that you were RIGHT ALL ALONG and they will regret everything they did to you”
and it’s just an awful, dangerous message to send ESPECIALLY to anyone who might be having harmful thought
The best line in Lilo and Stitch is, “No! Don’t touch that! It’s from my blue period!”
Like not only is Lilo familiar with goddamn Picasso despite being maybe 8, but she’s made enough serious art of her own that she can divide it into similar periods.
Lilo is a goddamn prodigy. She is an eccentric genius on par with Tesla or Van Gogh.
Like those pictures she took were both dismissals of beauty standards (she mostly photographed fat people who were not conventionally attractive and she referred to them in awe as beautiful) and subversions of the dehumanization tourists subjected her to as a native Hawaiian (she photographed tourists like they were simply part of the landscape, just as they did to her).
