I second Tauer β Au Couer Du Desert was my daily fragrance for YEARS, and everyone loved it on me
Tahoma (Mt Rainier) in the distance, with a mostly clear sky. It is snow covered, and behind rows of trees and several roofs. The scene is tinted slightly amber due to the window glass.
Going to the doctor sucks, but ngl, I DO look forward to this view of Tahoma every time π
Doing drugs then being on your phone is for sure the worst way to spend precious drug-time

This is exactly why I have this shit muted, even during June. Soβ¦..this oneβs on me for peeking in anyway, I guess π
Was talking to my father recently, and he pulled my older brother out of Hebrew School back in the early 90s because they wouldnβt stop trying to teach him about the country β it creeped him the fuck out.
Truly scary how on-board some temples in our area were about βthis IS the allegorical place!β

Like, I havenβt even BEEN on this type of social media for very long, and Iβve def understood the (general, self-protective) rules to be:
1. Fuck around at your own risk
2. If you want to learn anything, shut the fuck up and listen to the people who say βthis topic directly affects meβ
Quina Quen and Vivi wearing blue aprons. Quina's says "Don't ask me for the secret family recipe" Vivi's says "I saw the face of god and it was weeping"
FFIX comm!

So part of my view here is: there is a lot of forms of faith, and personal experiences with it globally, that are NOT this traumatizing violent extremist Christianity at baseline. And for me, I feel that American Judaism needs to, in a sense, be βreclaimedβ from its appropriation by Protestantism.
But also, of COURSE American Christianity is an awful conflation of Protestant extremism, white supremacy, and right wing ideologies β Iβm from a Reform Jewish background, and have watched in horror how American Jewish identities have been CO-OPTED and appropriated by American Christianity!
Being a (very privately) religious leftist, it isβ¦..disappointing when I see other leftists be so viciously and unilaterally anti-religious.
Like, yβall know that, globally, a LOT of people you claim to be allies of and βsupportβ, ARE religious and regard that as a big part of their lives, rightβ¦.?

My favorite book of all time. πππ
And also, all this to say:
I wish that had more than like 2 people to show my stuff to in-person or via text π
So, I guess what this really is is an apology:
Iβm sorry that I cannot share out my work, even on a platform and to an audience I WANT toβ¦because Iβm afraid of the omniscience of thieving AI companies and the intrusive role they have on using the internet to share things, even inconsequential ones.
Which is not to say I think Iβm so unique or important that the AI thing matters, in a practical sense.
Butβ¦.iβve always made my art for an audience of one.
And even though I now WANT to share some of thatβ¦.I know my audience is NOT the AI models or web crawlers.
And that justβ¦makes me kinda sad.
Sometimes, I want to share my weird collage art on here. Especially seeing encouraging posts re: βkeep creating.β
Iβve been making them for 15 years, and while theyβre not βmasterfulβ art, I have my own style, and explore many themes.
Butβ¦Iβm terrified of ANY images being slurped into AI models. π
