If you're interested I think there's also a blender community art bot.

If you find Inkskape & Gimp to be too UI heavy for your needs & expertise, a nice alternative is getpaint.net/, a free tool that is much more capable than MS Paint, without the steep learning curve of others.

It is Windows only, and is no longer open source, however.

I would recommend you give it a try.

A lot of people have been asking about NPR and PBS accounts and affiliates on here. Texas Public Radio has just signed up:

➡️ @TPR

We know it's really them as they mention it on their verified Twitter account: nitter.net/TPRNews/status/1646 (original at twitter.com/TPRNews/status/164)

There's also NPR/PBS affiliate @gbhnews in Massachusetts. If you know any others on here, post them in the replies.

p.s. Thank you to @tehjessica for the original post announcing it!

@FediFollows @TPR @gbhnews Of course! TPR is the local news station I listen to, so I figured it couldn't hurt to reach out to them. I hope they see the warm reception here and stick around!
