#OtD 21 Apr 1894, a nationwide strike of coal miners in the US against pay cuts began. 145,000 miners walked out, and despite violent repression and facing starvation they held out for weeks and won some concessions.

I think that art reflects the artist, or at least, this is my explanation for my art being so shallow, pop-centric, and slutty. My tastes haven’t become any more mature or refined since I left high school. Instead, I have become less ashamed of them. Letting the self-critic inside of me bleed out and weaken was the second-best thing I could have done for my overall creativity. The best thing would have been to actively stab her to death about ten years ago. I have vivid childhood memories of parental and mentor figures telling me, completely unprovoked, that I was wasting my free time while I painted and scribbled. Since I was young and drawing with crayons, I liked figurative work that was fluffy, escapist, and borderline masturbatory in its lack of purpose. I was drawn to art which comforted but wasn’t always substantive. Like fried carnival food which could overwhelm you with its grease and saccharine, the art I emulate doesn’t have anything at its core. Instead, it is consumed because its shiny busy exterior speaks to some base part of our instinct as mammals.

Let's jam!

wow, Spicy is a 10/10 card game. I didn't expect it to live up to the greats, when it comes to casual bluffing card games, like Skull and Cockroach Poker, but i think it actually surpasses at least the latter. It's incredibly simple and family friendly, yet deep as heck.

basically: they made Bullshit, the old classic card shedding game, into a game that's actually good and balanced and exciting

three suits, values 1-10, three copies of each. to successfully call bullshit on someone for claiming that they're putting down a certain card that they totally aren't, you have to guess which part they lied about - the suit or the number. if you get that wrong, even if the other aspect of the card *was* a lie, they still get away with it. this fixes the fact that in the original BS, it was far too easy to call out certain claims, letting nobody get their hands down to zero because their last card is always correctly challenged.

also, shedding your entire hand just gives you ten points, then you draw a new hand and keep playing with everyone. The other way to get points is by successfully winning challenges (calling bullshit correctly, or being the victim of an incorrect one). Because of this, it's literally possible to win the game without ever lying about anything. You could get all your points via calling out your lying friends instead, and win that way.

There are also rule variant cards that change up the rules if you want more advanced play.

I adore and recommend it ❤️
