Sauntering Vaguely Downwards
So this is what I’ve been doodling on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, mandala-style doodly things. I’ve also seen that calling things like this ‘zentangles‘ is a thing, seems to be a term they coined for their experience and method of what many of us just call our doodling style. I’ve been doing it this way since my teens, and it’s cool that they provided a method for people to learn. Worth a look, it’s a fun way to pass the time.
I’m halfway through my holiday, and I have been eating ice cream, and lounging in the hammock. I’m planning on going to the beach at some point, possibly tomorrow if the nice weather holds. I have also been arting and crafting as planned and generally having some fun. There are some photos on the camera, but I’ve not sorted them yet, and probably won’t get them posted today.
It seems these days I’m always angry. Usually at various governments and Nazis, and often at ‘phobes of various flavours. Right now it’s the US government’s treatment of immigrants (not that the UK government is any better with this, fuck you Theresa May and your Tory puppeteers), in particular the separating of children from their parents and the subsequent mistreatment of those children. Angry doesn’t really describe I feel about this. Incandescent with rage is perhaps closer. Enough that my brain threw an image at me, and I felt compelled to actually do a piece of political art to vent my feelings. It didn’t make me feel any less angry, but I feel better for having channelled it.
