A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.
[quoting a tweet from isabelunraveled in which she rails against depressing books that get branded as “great writing”]

Revised the ol' "Schweizer Guide to Spotting Tangents" lecture. 1/2
Text: TANGENTS In geometry, a tangent is when a line touches a curve at a single point. (images illustrating this, with a curve and a circle touching the lines) The point where they touch is called the tangent. in a drawing, this is what I call a “bump-up” tangent (more on that later), but the term “tangent” is a bit more flexible when applied to visual art. When an artist (or art critic, or art teacher, etc) mentions a tangent, they’re generally referring to any relationship between lines (or elements) in a drawing that interact in a way that the artist didn’t intend. When I was a teacher, I found it helpful to differentiate the various offenses that fell under the catch-all term “tangents” and give them each a name, to make identification of problem areas in a drawing easier. An earlier version of these examples was published online in 2011 under the title “The Schweizer Guide to Spotting Tangents.” Text: Long-Line Tangent The “long-line” tangent is when the line from one subject in the drawing leads into the line of another. (image where the line from a figure's wide-brimmed hat"becomes" the line of the roof) See how the hat of this fella runs into the line of the roof? that’s bad! (image where they do NOT intersect) Not so bad! Try to avoid near-tangents, too! Even if a line doesn’t actually connect with another, “close” isn’t great, either. (image illustrating this point using the same iconography as above) Text: Bump-Up Tangent A bump-up tangent is when one element of a drawing bumps up against another. (image where the outside a figure's elbow touches a wall) When the bump-up is the result of different subjects touching, correct it by making one clearly overlap the other. (Same image repeated twice, but in one the elbow is in front of the wall, and in the other behind it) Either of these works just fine! Sometimes using the principle of “what’s closer?” overlap won’t always be the best solution. you can do that (like the nose in the example) or you can just redraw the offending lines (like the lapel). Images: a drawing with tangents, and that same drawing with the tangents eliminated Text: Beyond just the drawing itself, make sure to avoid bumping your image against the formal components of the comic: word balloons, sound effects, panel borders, etc. They’re in the image, therefore, regardless of what stage they’re introduced into the art, they’re PART OF THE COMPOSITION, and need to be treated as such. (Image: example drawing where the balloon and panel borders are creating bump-up tangents with the drawing) There are many publishers who insist on live (editable) balloons and dialogue text to make easier foreign sales and online publishing; I vehemently disagree with this approach, because it makes flexible what should be the sole purview of a cartoonist: the intersection of lines in the art, and lines in the art, like it or not, iNCLUDE the lines that surround a word balloon. For this reason, LETTERiNG SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE iNKS. Then your inks can accommodate the balloons. This was standard practice until the advent of digital lettering, and while there’s nothing wrong with digital lettering, its placement in the pipeline order generally results in a poorer overall comic than would be the case were it done between the roughs/pencils stage and the inks.

Hi in case you missed it, Escape from Divinity is pure gold and the creator posted the full spread last year with bonus content in the end credits. It is 30 minutes of dialogue-free heartstring-tugging action-packed storytelling.

I hate that most places strip the right to vote from the incarcerated. They are still humans and they are still citizens, and they should retain the right to petition their government. Especially since the govt often tends to abuse this population.

NEW: Maine is one of 2 states that never strips people’s right to vote, and allows them to vote from prison.

But in reality, logistical hurdles abound, & prisoners have organized hard for years to make sure everyone knows their rights.

I learned a lot from this amazing reporting.
Maine Prisoners Organize to Protect Their Rare Right to Vote - Bolts
Maine is one of the only places in the country where prisoners keep their right to vote. But logistical barriers to voting still contribute to their larger exclusion from the political process.

If any of you happen to know someone who was either an Animator or a Programmer who implemented animation in an old-school MMORPG (Everquest, OG World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 1, etc), I'd love to talk with them!

This line from widow's bay can be used in so many circumstances.
A still from Widow's Bay with subtitles. The image shows the photo of a dead priest at his own funeral, with flowers either side of the picture. The text reads: Once again, I'd like to remind everyone that it is not mandatory that you speak.
