It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I'm actually an Arabic calligraphist myself. Been doing it since I was about 7 years old. I'm now 43 and I still practice. It's become like an addiction to me. I even had a shop at some point of my life where I made shops signs and other things like those announcements they made when someone passes away (sorry don't know what they're called in English). I even made some decent money, too. I still have my read pieces and inks now here in the US.
That's amazing and you sound like you've had a cool life. I really respect your craft and the art you've made. Also I think the word you're looking for is obituary.
Thank you so much. I can't say that my life was cool per se, as I lived it as a shephard/farmer. It was extremely rough. You could say it is cool when you look back it at now, but not then. We didn't have power back then, so my only entertainment was my craft and reading books. I'd go for hours, after a full day of work in the farm and taking care of our cattle(sheep mostly), writing and practicing or reading. I can't even count the number of books I have read (all non-fiction, BTW). Also, thank you for the word "obituary". I've learned a new word today and I always appreciate that :)
Thank you so much. Someone has already mentioned it in another comment :)
do you make shirts?
Never really made shirts, but I did draw tattoos for friends in the Army.
