#EnoughIsEnough

Enough is enough.

This country was built by We the People — not by kings, not by tyrants, and not by billionaires who think our silence is compliance.

We love this country enough to demand better.
To fight for what's right.
To remind America what freedom really looks like.

This July 4th, we protest. We show up. Because this is our nation — and we're not backing down.

Adobe has finally pushed too far and succeeded in making me never want to use their products again. I didn't like the pay per month scheme to begin with and now they tacked on a 50% (!) price increase to the monthly costs.

All my digital art flow is built around Photoshop and I’d have much better things to do, but I'll have to put a bunch of time and effort in learning something else - maybe #Krita? Are there good experiences or other alternatives? I know it’s definitely not going to be the G-imp.

Either way it’s time to start moving all the art files away from the .psd hostage situation. Unsure what would be an appropriately featured portable format to use, the age old .tiff format? It at least supports layers.. but would probably also mean rasterizing everything.

The authorities said the gunman used a handgun that was the former service weapon of his mother, a #LeonCounty sheriff’s deputy, who was allowed to keep the #gun for personal use. It’s not unusual for deputies to be allowed to purchase their former service weapons, officials said.

Continued thread

Sheriff Walter McNeil of #LeonCounty identified the gunman as #PhoenixIkner, 20, & said he is the son of a Leon County sheriff’s deputy.

“Unfortunately, he had access to one of her weapons,” the sheriff said.

Chief Revell said the gunman “invoked his right not to speak to us.”

“He did not comply with commands & was shot,” Chief Revell said.
