Hello. I am going to do something new. You see, I always wanted to draw but I always ALWAYS told myself I was wasting my time, and I would never be good as the people I admired. So over years, I would start and stop, and it just never seemed to come together, but I always wanted to draw.

The American car industry lobbied hard enough to kill the expansion of high speed trains in America and many places in the USA are designed for driving; not riding a train, biking or even walking. They see all carbon-cutting as anti-business and trick people to be against it.

Also racism.

For what it is worth, I can firmly say I never once had a "child molestation" phase as a teenager.

I was really into the Nintendo Gamecube at the time.

I did beat 3 on the PS2. Great game but I liked 4 a bit better. I will try to play 5 before 6 does come out. It has been about 8 years by now.

Signalis. Isometric Silent Hill...with robot Waifus.
But seriously, it has those slow burn horrors that once you find out what is really happening, you realizes how unbelievably royally f**ked the main character is.

The image is a six panel black and white comic

Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..."

Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that"

Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope"

Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine"

Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope."

Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"

Some things I saw recently that I think are cool (Native American jewelry edition):

— Neil Zarama. New Ralph Lauren collab coming (IG whirlinglog_and_arrow)
— Troy Oviedo (IG troyoviedo) 😮‍💨
— Falcon Trading Company (IG ftcjewelry)
— Samuel Sumpter (IG nabaahii_bizhiil_creations)

Some Ralph Lauren models wearing a Native American belt buckle and pin. Also photos of Native American repoussé pin and handmade silver rings in different styles.

Native American silver cuff bracelet, rings, and belt buckles decorated with turquoise stones.

Native American cuff bracelets and pendants, many decorated with turquoise stones.

Native American squash blossom necklaces.

If you are not wielding a firework launcher in defense of queer rights, can you really call yourself an ally?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍
