Just a friendly welcome post

  • Welcome to Lemmy! I hope you have a great time here! 😃

    • Only Works as a State’: Trump Vows Not ‘To Bend’ On Tariffs Until Canada Is Absorbed Into The U.S.

  • He needs to find a more productive obsession that's much less likely to lead to a war, like building model boats.

    • What do you put in first: Teabag or hot water?

    Jump

  • Teabag, sugar, then water and milk.

    I'm not sure how normal this is, largely because this is coming from the same person who pours milk before her cereal LMAO

  • I died doing what I loved, making art.

    • B.C. woman detained at U.S. border, sent to Arizona detention facility in chains

  • Honestly, same. It's still really surreal to me.

    • He's totally not a Nazi tho

    Jump

  • This adds to an ever-growing list of things.

    • He created a safe space for Nazis on his platform
    • He amplified pro-Nazi content on his platform
    • He offered support for Germany's far-right AfD party, which uses Nazi symbolism in its posters.
    • He did not one, but two Nazi salutes during Trump's inauguration.
    • He's endorsed established antisemetic conspiracy theories such as the "great replacement" conspiracy theory.
    • After receiving backlash for the two Nazi salutes that he did at Trump's inauguration, instead of apologizing, he posted Nazi puns.

    All the gaslighting from his supporters with "you can't read his mind" "he's autistic" and "it was a Roman salute/my heart goes out to you" is quite frankly an insult to people's intelligence.

  • I was planning on travelling to California to meet a good friend of mine. I explained that I've had to change plans amist...well, all this, and my friend said something along the lines of "I don't blame you, I wouldn't even consider visiting this country for the next 4 years".

  • Victoria, Australia. I've always been weirdly drawn to Australia and I couldn't tell you exactly why, but I'd love to be there! It's one of the cooler parts of Australia too!

  • Last year I finally decided that I wanted to join social media, so I literally just Googled "social media sites" "new social media sites" and "sites for posting art/sites for artists" and I signed up on most of them. Lemmy was one of them!

    • Are there any other artists here? What are your favourite pieces of art that you've made? 😃

  • Aw yeah ASCII art! That's really cool. I dunno if I'm imagining things but I kinda recognize that character, who is it?

    • What does an American accent sound like in your native language?

    Jump

  • Kind of weird but not in a bad way, just different and some of the pronunciations are strange to me. A comparison to my own:

    "Ruff" - "Roof"

    "Ben" - "Bean"

    "Suth-ern" - "Sou-thern"

    "Dee-cals" - "Deckles"

  • Love the hand one and the portrait of the old man! I thought the bottle one was digital at first! You did a great job capturing the Photoshop selection effect

  • No sword swallowing? Just kidding. I appreciate your bravery since you're playing with fire, in this case a literal sense! What's the best experience you've had?

  • Thanks so much! 😃 That one was a birthday gift drawing for a good friend of mine! It's also the longest I've ever spent on a drawing! I started it either in late April or early May and didn't get it finished until the end of June, right on time LMAO

    • There's a clear up tick on daily users growing and we've crossed the 50k line as of yesterday! LETSSS GOOO!

  • Nice! What would you say the pro's and con's of it are? I don't know any performance artists personally but I'm interested.

  • Woah, now that's a mixed bag! 😃 For the photography that sun peeking out of the clouds one has an almost angelic vibe to it. Is that a crepuscular ray I see? For the chalk drawings, I immediately noticed the Digital Circus characters. That show's so fun to watch and I have no idea how it's going to end. I like the bright and bold colours in the digital drawings, I haven't played Kirby Air Ride in a long time but I'm glad that game still has its fans!
