To people who color in those neat grown-up coloring books--do you use Crayons or pencils? If you use pencils, what are good pencils?
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Oh, BLM is Black Lives Matter, not Bureau of Land Management. Land management gets a bit more traction in Utah, unfortunately, than black lives, which is why my mind went there first.

Me too - I always have to stop and check WHICH BLM is the subject.

do you use Crayons or pencils?
I use pencils - I have a Crayola pencil set that has something like 24 colors? I like it. I'd love a fancier set, but they work fine.
I'm taking next week off and I think I should dedicate one day to just coloring.

I've tried pencils, but they never seem to get the depth of color I want. In the past I've done better with watercolors.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm trying really hard to not be tone deaf, and I feel like I'm failing.

I'm working on something for the Bureau of Land Management right now, and I have to be super careful when I'm multi-tasking.

What kind of watercolords, Toddson? I got some fancy pencils, but am not in love with them. I also recently got an app on my ipad where I can take a picture of the coloring book page, and then paint on top of that, which is kinda neat.
Fist bump to you, amyth. Just talked to my boss, and she hears my frustrations (and is also disappointed) and said they're trying to at least get a contractor to help, if not someone already with the company, but I know that'll take a few weeks to get going even once they actually GET someone, so...ugh.
Maria, I can think of lots of ways "allies" can be unhelpful, though the way she put it is kinda awful sounding. Certainly when "allies" end up making it all about themselves, that could make you go "not helpful, please remember you need to be a SMALL role, and not talking over folks or taking over or focusing on your own stuff", but...:(

To clarify, my friend is white. This is what she was reading from the group. I get that allies can be unhelpful, but the awful way it was put doesn't make anyone any more sympathetic to the cause.
I'm glad they're trying to help you out in whatever way they can meara. I wish the work stress would disappear for all of us.

I haven't worked in watercolors since I was a kid. I like the ideas of pencils because there's so little fuss.
