A lil something to break the silence. I remember I shared this one time. That was neat. Will probably redo this one at some point.

Then when u finally build up the gumption to actually try to draw, even scribble a bit, your mind just goes blank

the problem with resting and not making anything is that i have no way to process things now. it’s all just building up and festering inside me with nowhere to go.

I can only speak from personal experience, but Its been suggested several times from every other vet I’ve spoken with, even folks still in active duty, to go get checked out to see if I qualify for disability. I’ve always had my suspicions but this is a bit much…

This is wrong on every level. It’s a rigorous process that can take years. Just because a small number of rotten people faked being blind or paralyzed doesn’t mean the system should be gutted or over 9 million veterans getting benefits smeared. This is so dam irresponsible of WaPo.

It’s so cool how that works and it’s fascinating to me how the mind fills in the blanks

Man I’m so glad you’re here

JUAN! @theartofjuan.com · 13d

I suppose so… It’s easy to see all the bad and write off social media as lost, but there’s a lot of good too. I’ve made friends and have been able to maintain those friendships without having to feel like I have to go out to do so. I’ve learned a lot too, and am working on sharing more.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

I enjoy your takes on a lot of stuff, from art to life and just whatever. It’s validating.
