    I saw Jack White in concert tonight.
    It was awesome. 🤘

    I bet that was a great show - do you like that venue?

    I do!
    The Criterion is a nice venue 😀

    I’m excited to go in Dec ! Glad you had a good time

    Being in the same hospital both my parents died in was pure hell. The triggers, the beeping machines, the smell, the heartbreaking memories. 🥺 The emotional toll was worse than the suffocating feeling of not being able to breathe.

    Sorry for the unhappy thoughts, just needed to get that out.

    Now I sleep...

    Not everyday is rainbows and butterflies yo - feel your feels - gotta get that chit out sometimes - sleep well my friend

    Could one use “underlying” and “overarching” interchangeably?

    The visuals in the metaphors are different but I can’t think of a circumstance in which you couldn’t use either

    I guess I think of underlying as being more of a cause and overarching being more of a theme but still…

    I agree -- I think underlying is something that's simmering beneath the surface and maybe isn't a big deal - like maybe a small problem within a relationship that's there but not important enough to pay attention to ---- but an overarching problem would be one that encompasses that relationship, like what's his face from Try Guys with his infidelity problem 😋
    I disagree about it being not a big deal. Underlying to me implies a root cause which would be very hard to unearth or eradicate. Like his low self-esteem is the underlying cause for his drug addiction. Or the abuse he suffered in childhood is the underlying reason he kicks the dog. Am I just kind of dark?

    Eta: Underlying gives me the image of a foundational premise or something that is built upon and therefore very important


    Sorry, I’m not familiar with the example you cited though

    I googled and it says it's the basis for something else, so you're right, it could be a cause to a larger problem, but I think the term underlying doesn't necessarily mean that it's a big problem

    Ok so underlying = cause

    Do you think overarching means the entire effect observed after completion? That’s my impression

    Underlying is implicit. Overarching is explicit. This was a fun discussion though!

    It’s OK I’m picturing you in a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches now so that more than makes up for it. Especially when you’re holding the ruler.

    My understanding is that underlying is more implicit, or hidden, whereas overarching is more explicit - out in the open.

    Passed my exam yesterday. Not a great mark but it'll do and lesson learned to maybe take time to actually read the material not just skim through it cause you've set a tight deadline for getting it done cause of a move 🤣

    Mostly contemplating how to participate in "Inktober" this year. There are a lot of different prompts from all sorts of different artists and I haven't decided which I want to utilize.

    It would be pretty sweet if there was a thread dedicated to it tho :D

    I don’t have spooky dreams any more

    From childhood until just a few years ago I had terrible nightmares

    Id dream I could only save one of my parents from hell

    Id dream I was being stalked by demons

    Id dream that everyone had been raptured and I was all alone in the world.

    It’s so good to be free of that. Now, as long as I’m careful about caffeine, my sleep is restful

    I don't either. I have Instagram and other social media, but don't really have a following. I do it for me, so I can improve. I haven't done any large scale projects in a really long time, mostly because I haven't had an art desk to do them out and I'm too old/creaky to sit on the floor anymore and do it like I did in college, lol.

    i used to have these alice in wonderland nightmares and ones where it felt like the world was balanced on the head of a pin i couldn’t wake up from
