If any of you are artists or post other folk’s art, I’d love it if you left me a note in my inbox so’s I can follow you back. Also, if you’re an artist in the Raleigh/Durham area, and show your work publicly, please please please let me know, because I also write for a local art mag and I’m always looking for another story or article.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://hoopandstick.tumblr.com/post/50967095434</link><guid>http://hoopandstick.tumblr.com/post/50967095434</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 00:20:09 -0400</pubDate><category>gratitude</category><category>trolling for talent</category><category>holy crap</category></item><item><title>Your art is so dope.</title><description>Thanks, stranger! :)</description><link>http://hoopandstick.tumblr.com/post/50965901185</link><guid>http://hoopandstick.tumblr.com/post/50965901185</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 00:02:12 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Laughter is good!
