inBought an electric car to cut emissions. Found out about lithium mining. Feeling conflicted.
Honestly, lithium mining is a problem but it's way more contained than oil drilling. Tbh, gas cars pump out exhaust every day in our neighborhoods, while lithium is mostly mined in a few remote spots. Electric vehicles stop local air pollution immediately, and battery recycling is already starting up. Ngl, it's not perfect, but switching to electric is a clear move forward from the constant burn of fossil fuels.

Really? Modern scanners catch pretty much everything these days.

inNgl, I accepted a commission that uses a copyrighted character without a license
Seriously, that mascot situation sounds way too familiar. I had a client beg me to use a well known cartoon character in their promo stuff, swore up and down they had the rights. Ngl, I almost did it because the money was good. Thank god my lawyer friend saw the draft and freaked out. Now I make them show me the actual permission paper before I even start sketching. Never again.

inPro tip: Working on the mill pond cleanup here showed me you GOTTA mark those submerged logs with buoys EARLY.
We left just one big cedar unmarked at the mill pond last year. By the time we got back with the gear, it had drifted and took out a prop on a volunteer's boat. That taught me you need to tag everything you see on the first pass, even if you plan to pull it later. Currents change, water levels drop, and you'll lose track of them. A cheap buoy on a long line is way better than paying for a new lower unit.
