Loved Cintiq 21UX
I draw on a Cintiq 21UX from a few years back. I started using the Cintiq series 10 years ago. If I could go back in time and convince myself to buy one even earlier I would.

- Can't get over how Elizabeth Holmes' voice sounds exactly like Romy claiming to have invented Post-It Notes in Romy and Michele's High School Reunion... Did 13 year-old Liz watch that movie and learn the *worst possible lesson* or was Hollywood just weirdly prophetic? 20 Oct 2026

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
