Moved from .lol so an #introduction is in order.

Hello! I'm John. I'm usually found wearing big round glasses and shorts, and doing the ✌🏻 sign.

I've been learning how to draw since late 2021 as a form of therapy. Sometimes, I draw my followers/community. I will post some of it on the next toot.

expect some memes, terrible attempt at being funny, self-deprecating jokes as a way to cope.

oh god, I don't know what else to say. this feels like the first day of class all of a sudden..uh selfies?

She’s about 2 years old now, and after a whole lot of love and attention, she’s finally learning that she’s going to be safe and free to be herself.

I found it, the worst candy:

“You always told me it takes time. It has taken my father’s time, my mother’s time, my uncle’s time, my brothers’ and my sisters’ time, my nieces’ and my nephews’ time. How much time do you want for your ‘progress’?” —James Baldwin

Five fighters from the Azov Kharkiv and two fighters from Dozor engaged in a night battle near Bakhmut with Wagnerites. The battle lasted for three hours, resulting in the death of 35 mercenaries, after which the enemy retreated to their original position.

Seven men held off an unknown number of human animals and killed 35.

Just a reminder! If you pre-order PROMISES STRONGER THAN DARKNESS from @foliosf, the following things will happen:

🐗 I will sign/personalize on the pub date, and you'll receive the book ASAP after that. They ship all over the USA.

🐗 I will draw a terrible doodle of a cat doing whatever job you specify. ANY JOB.

🐗 Folio will donate 10 percent of proceeds to the TGI Justice Project which works with vulnerable trans ppl, and I will match.

I find all behavior suspicious.

Not me crying out of happiness because kind people on Mastodon made it possible for me to start a small business out of my jewellery making hobby that then also helps me in new art production 🥺

The hell is wrong with some people? Don't come flying into my replies to lecture me about nonsense. "Remember all the times..." No, I don't, because I don't have the slightest clue who tf this is. Also, I've been criticizing NYT for years. Between this and the person who freaked tf out in my replies telling me I need to "listen to actual trans people" or whatever (I. Am. Trans. WTF), some of you are not helping.

I’m seeing a bunch of weirdness from the #GOP today blaming the Biden Administration for the train derailment in Ohio. Did some research and found out that Obama had regulations on trains carrying hazardous materials to have advanced braking systems which #Trump undid once he took office. So it’s kind of weird to hear #Republicans blame Biden when in reality if Trump had kept Obama’s regulations in place, this #Ohio #trainderailment might not have happened….

Hey, all. Going to use the #newstodon tag to quickly promote my own work.
