DigiSnaxx vol. 5: Back from the edge
This past year was a whirlwind, and I recently had the one year anniversary of breaking up with a woman who I originally met almost a decade ago.
To be forthright, for the past eight years or so, I've been walking out of the malicious feminine shadow into which I was adopted.
It was most specifically seen in a transition which occurred over the week of my birthday in 2022 ... when I finally left the rented house of a woman who wished to control me; and went to reside in the home of a woman who appreciated the music I played, and welcomed my presence without constraint.
Though like most things in life, completion is not created in a single breath.
I haven't talked to Joan in ... I don't know how long, and that's a beautiful thing.
It is also sad, in many respects ... the damage and abuse perpetuated under her open, and almost proud, negligence.
And to see how this continues in the United States; I'm thankful for my absence.
Life has provided a very unique insight into how white supremacy works; and there is an interesting tale that recently occurred, that I'd like to relate.
White Supremacist Saviors
On LinkedIn to do good, and be transparent about the work he's doing as a white man ... showing others humility, and how to be a good one.

Until confronted with depth (Ricardo's article about me) ... then it's

Followed by ...

And you look at the article list which is ...

And again, this person is getting money for this output ... which in itself is seemingly very performative.
If you're going to block someone on LinkedIn ... make sure to remove them from your mailing list as well ... just sayin'.
Curiously enough this person is from Minnesota:

So it will be interesting to see how Minneapolis moves forward with a black Socialist mayor.
One question I've asked is, will the city return to a weak mayor system? Or will political monarchy continue to be the rule of the hour?
Another question being, what is the consequence for the police in this situation?
Because white supremacy will still play a role in all of it; and even though a majority of city council is brown in skin tone ... they are still serving at the pleasure of many white majority precincts ... ?
I'm not sure of the numbers, and I've no intention to investigate the answers (though looking at voting demographics would also be an interesting data point.)
The story I started with ... just because I've walked out of the shadow, doesn't mean that shadows are not all-around.
And it is becoming more and more difficult to be insincere.
With this in mind, being where I am feels for the best, as I'm able to focus better on the positive work that I might be able to do with my life
I'm incredibly excited to be starting idioki in a more formal manner, I've made a video ... I have no idea how well my Spanish is able to be understood, but ...
It's a step in the right direction, while the rest of the page provides the necessary details.
I've got a few flyers created, and am getting business card sized flyers to distribute.

I've run the numbers, and it works out ...
I have this road to walk, and I want to respect it; I guess that is why I have been so frustrated with others in the past ... their open disrespect for the road that is being walked.
And I truly mean that, people act negligently and then say that they are trying to teach you a lesson ... which is complete bullshit.
Anywho ... not much else to report, ooo, well, ok – the idea with the flyers is that I'm also going to make wheat-paste and put up a bunch of flyers ... I got pail that I can attach to the back of my motorcycle 😄
I dunno, I'm really actually kind of excited for it all, to be honest.
It's fun ... life is fun.
I've been going to the gym recently too, which is nice and a blessing to have access to ... thankful ... and I don't want to be insincere about that.
I never would have gotten here without the support of wonderful people and loving ancestors, from beautiful lands.
Ok, before I start to cry!
(OMG, I finally figured out how to use a metronome to discern the beats per minute for my songs!! I know, simple and stupid ... but well, psychologically it took time for my mind to be calm enough to process such a simple thing.)
peaces!
Thank you!
