I am not gonna share certain things out of respect for my friends' privacy, and I don't wanna publicly blast it, but I can at least give you some guiding info from my experiences to help you figure out how you wanna interface with certain music. ✌️

I personally am still friends with Laura Hackett Park and Audra Lynn - literally my 2 phone notifications right now are that I was tagged in this, and that Audra just reacted to a text I sent her, haha. And they're friends with me, and I am out of the closet as queer! DM me, let's chat.

Oh gosh that's a great question! Easier if you just let me know what IHOPKC artists' stuff you have maybe in a DM convo and I can give you my take/experiences with them. I used to play bass on Nightwatch there for Ashley Prior and still keep in touch with a lot of folks from there!!

Today's act of love: self-reflection. Today, if you encounter someone different (culturally, racially, socio-economically) pay attention to your inner dialogue - are you scared, happy, confused, curious? Why? If the day ends and you haven't met someone different, why is that? What prevented it?

Today's act: Reach out to a friend or family member who you have lost touch with. No agenda, just let them know you are thinking about them, curious about how they are doing, and value the relationship. #SmallActsGreatLove #DailyResistance #HumanConnection #CareIsResistance #SolidarityInAction

The goal of this account is to give ideas each day for ways to "move the needle" and make small steps towards a more caring and empathetic culture and resist dehumanizing forces. “Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” Mother Teresa

Bucket crimes, crimes committed with my bucket friend, crimes my bucket friend told me to do, crimes committed whilst inside the infinite hole labeled K, skip button crimes, eternally recursive crimes (so many recursive crimes), crimes of choice, or perhaps crimes I had no choice but to commit...

I've probably just been reading too much Nietzsche and Sapolsky.

Sword Hunter Badge
One of the badges crafted by the Healing Church.
The silver sword is a symbol of a Church hunter.
Ludwig was the first of many Healing Church hunters to come, many of whom were clerics. As it was, clerics transformed into the most hideous beasts.

"There's nothing more horrific than a hunt. In case you've failed to realize... The things you hunt, they're not beasts. They're people." What is it, after all, that an Amygdala does? Especially in partnership with the insula - the "church," with moral disgust, "CURSED BEAST!"

However, do not hear what I am not saying - Logarius did similar to the people of Cainhurst, calling them Vilebloods. The Hunter slays beasts, & yet, as you slay beasts, they, too, call you "cursed beast!" - perhaps Djura's words had more to them. Maybe that is what the game is about?

Vermin... are the root of man's impurity. Those who wish to see vermin can, and those who choose to are provided with boundless purpose. Pay to mind to the fact that vermin resemble a human spinal cord, don't think too hard about that salute or that helmet having only one eye... Confederates.

Most people have heard the quote “history is written by the winners”. I want everyone to understand that this is not some kind of metaphor. It is quite literal. Fascists always work to literally erase the artifacts that tell the history that they don’t want told.

painting a tiny face with acrylics while trying to show someone enraptured in joy and freedom is hard, I need to give her hair but gotta step away to feed the dog. Wherever this is when I go to bed tonight is where it will remain forever, wish me luck

A woman with a look of joy on her face, raised to the morning sun, sits atop a chestnut horse with umber mane and tail, as well as umber on its legs and nose. They ride beyond mesas and rock arches, thru desert scrub and a sunbeam shining from where the light climbs over the distant mountains on the horizon, bathing the world below and clouds above in orange, yellow, pink, and purple

no hair has been painted on the woman's head yet

this can be so hard to navigate, one of the communities I loosely follow (not a fandom per se but a similar vibe) is in the middle of a big dispute with sides right now & it can be hard to tell who's being honest & folks are trying to force unfollows by blocking all followers of so and so/etc, ughhh

The first Soulsborne game I ever attempted was Dark Souls 2 SOTFS, I created my character and wandered the opening area for 2 hours trying to figure out where to go, I never saw the door in the back of the hut. I never got beyond the hut. I killed the big enemy, but couldn't find the door. 2. hours.

I think I'm starting to get a better grasp on value / color theory or whatever as this painting comes along

bright glowing oranges, purples, and light teal blue make clouds in twilight light

shades of gray, no color, composing the same clouds in twilight light

bright orange, pink, yellow and deep violet and magenta make up the silhouettes of mountains, mesas, and arches as well as brightly lit rock faces and clouds in the sunrise

It's fun to sit and mark the end of each chunk of time I sit down to work on this painting by sharing the results. The sun has gone down and I don't have the greatest options for lighting in this house, so I tried to capture it with what I have. Real life's some combo of these:

Work in progress acrylic painting of a horse and rider in the vibrant sunrise or sunset hues of a western scene. The sun sits at the horizon illuminating the sky in orange, pink, and purple, as reddish pink rays of light kiss the land, with one bright beam shining thru canyon walls and arches to illuminate a patch of desert scrub and sand as a the (very rough sketch of a ) horse and rider pass through the light in the foreground

all 3 photographs depict the same painting in slightly different room lighting conditions

Sorry for posting so many updates by sharing the results of each session I have working on this desert sunset painting, I learn by getting to see how others' work develops across their process so I want to share mine for others who do the same 🫶

unfinished painting of a horse and rider in the desert, a red Mesa is illuminated by the twilight sun and rock arches are silhouettes in the distance, as the sunrays shine brightly between distant mountain peaks, lighting up the scattered clouds in orange, pink, and violet

the painting's foreground is only a loosely realized sketch, with more detail in the sky and background. all 4 images are the same painting with variation of how the painting was lit when the photo was taken

Albert Bierstadt worked back to front so I guess I will too. This is my first time painting rocks. This is my first time trying most of these things. Or, alternatively, it's just another attempt at capturing light and forms, which I've done many times. Still so much more to do.

an unfinished 5x7 inch acrylic painting of a sun rising over a distant mountain, filling a desert scene with reds, pinks, and yellows against deep violet shadows with rays of light illuminating a red rock face, eventually falling on a horse and rider in the foreground. the foreground is very, very unfinished, but the background and sky are more developed.

I think I finally figured out how the light should work... Quite pleased with myself, honestly. God rays for days. Might be able to knock out the foreground soon!

painting of a horse and rider (foreground, no detail added yet, just a silhouette) in a desert landscape at sunrise - the background layers of mountain silhouettes with sunrise rays breaking through in bands of vivid reds with purple blue shadows sit under a sky mottled with cirrocumulus-like clouds peppered with reds, oranges, yellows, into purple shadows against a deep blue sky

The shape and configuration remain relatively stable, but lighting conditions can be altered

Was swapping out a load of laundry and realized that the lint trap makes for a kinda perfect custom-light able reference for learning how to understand different lighting conditions on certain cloud textures/types

I don't think I've ever posted this painting here, it's kinda fun. I'm looking at that pose & hearing the 3 physical therapists who independently asked me "have you ever heard of Ehlers Danlos" within 5 minutes of meeting me (& constantly corrected my weird leg positions in session)

a digital drawing made primarily with bright warm orange, red orange, and yellow orange, against a dark green gray with elements of teal also. an orange lit human figure sits in a corner against an orange lit wall, leaning against a shadowed wall in the dark teal green gray, with a dark teal green gray shadow of the human figure on the orange lit wall, and some hints of reflected orange light on the shadowed wall near the figure.

I've bitten off more than I can chew, PS did you guys know it's kinda hard to paint on a tiny canvas because if you mix only the amount you think you'll need, IT DRIES SO FAST, oh well this won't be what I was aiming for but there's a lotta pretty colors & I'm learning a lot!

I let the underpainting dry overnight & spent abt 1-1.5hr creating chaos this afternoon, y'all FYI burnt sienna underpainting does wonders for making an epic twilight glow. Acrylic paint + dry AZ air = whyyy though. Def gonna move to oils someday. Hard to capture color in pics!

an unfinished color blocking painting of an American western desert scene, a Horse and Rider can be seen in an illuminated silhouette in the foreground, with mesas, hoodoos, a rocky arch, and mountains silhouetted in hues of purple against a pale blue sunrise sky with clouds illuminated in fiery oranges and yellows. Compared to the other, this photograph better captures the contrast and value range of the painting, giving it more form

🌵Sierra Noel is an autistic cactus🌵 @sienoel.bsky.social · 25/12/2024

never tried underpainting before. never tried making horses, or really done much with landscapes either, or attempted luminism... lotta nevers turning into firsts on this lil canvas board. why do acrylics have to go and dry s'dang quick though 🥲 anyone recognize the setting?

Burnt sienna values only underpainting of an American western desert scene, a Horse and Rider can be seen in silhouette in the foreground, with mesas, hoodoos, a rocky arch, and mountains silhouetted against sky with hints of clouds

I am, unfortunately, quite experientially familiar with that of which you speak - I used to be IHOPKC staff, and have had enough years in the church harm survivor / accountability circles to have observed the re-skinned same old same old. PS - the title of your new book just got Elevation in my head
