Snax. Snaxx. And $naxx.

Wow - I dunno ... lots of stuff ... adventures of settling down ... or finally being safe enough to do so ... seriously ... that's what folks underestimate, what it truly takes to step out of a deeply toxic environment, clean one's self off and then grow.

You really can't miss a step ... it will cost you more in the end.

Ok, so that said ... here's my primary consternation, which really is the most appropriate word for the sentiment ... my life has historically been a spectacle for too many.

It doesn't feel good; ok, so how do I balance all of it ?

Not rely on subscriptions for income, #1.

Though now everything does feel structured in an appropriate manner; and it's time to really start building in public!

Comuna Colombia – Welcome to Paradise

A cultural museum in El Born showcasing a curated collection…

I had the domains, secured the TikTok handle as well ... just need to start adding the correct content. The timing finally feels right.

About a week ago, I spent the afternoon/evening trimming down a stock WordPress directory template from Listdom; connected it to MapBox, and eureka!

As well, I've started iterating through the Entry Posts for the La Casa Ingles Instagram account; as well as narrowing down the account's purpose and content strategy.

The strategy being to immerse followers in English content, a tactic being to repost stories that include subtitles. While the content schedule has also been improved; it now contains Shel Silverstein poems, Calvin and Hobbes strips and memes 😄.

This then becomes the daily/hourly driver of digital presence, aimed at selling English classes; to be forthright, I'm incredibly excited.

The entire package feels very unified ~ build Comuna Colombia by interacting with local businesses, who may also have events for DigiSnaxx, and who might like to improve their English pronunciation, or may know someone who does.

My class times are set, and I just need to find 40 people to fill them 😃.

It's a peaceful life, and I'm thankful for it.

I got cancelled by LinkedIn ... can't post, comment or publish my newsletter anymore ...

The Myth of Equality

I was recently banned from posting on LinkedIn, and I think these views are why ... rejection is redirection; I’m able to make another LinkedIn account and start from 0. That’s actually a blessing and a wonderful opportunity to re-design the image and effort. Anywho, let’s get

It's National Adoption / Adoptee Awareness Month ... as well as Native American Heritage Month ... So ... it kinda inspires me to write more:

I’m not crazy!!

Welcome to NAAM everyone; and those from Central/South America ... we get the additional spin of Native American Heritage Month for the confusion of it all! I’ll try to write more and add it to the tag #NAAMtastic ... I dunno ... much of the writing will be stream of conscious,

Though if I really want to convince people of the aforementioned allegation of not being crazy ... I maybe shouldn't post stuff like the following piece:

On Adoption, Parenting & Slavery

In speaking with a friend today, I had the epiphany ... the US is a country of orphans, because capitalism thrives off of the “fierce” individuality achieved through after severing of family connections. There are times, and they are growing more frequent, when I am thankful for being adopted. Again, I

But I suppose to me, that remains the incredible joy and awesomeness of the internet ... and the reason I'm making my space into a bit more of a walled garden ... because it is my space, a place to share my views, my art, and my work ...

The conglomerates can't shut this down, yet ... these are my domains, running on servers ... yes that I'm renting at present ... but ... well that's another conversation.

Regardless ... that thread to freedom is retained ... I can still say what I want to say ... for better or for worse ... I'm the only one able to censor myself on this platform.

And well ... in retrospect ... I'm not mad about all that I've said ... because oftentimes, it was better, and safer, than holding any of it in.

Oh yo ... and for those who've maybe never heard my music ... I published a bit of a retrospective:

Scars Like Stars: A Collection

Wow, ok, this is what makes the internet cool, imo ... sharing personal art easily. This is a collection of songs from the past 20 years; it starts with the more hippity-hop type music ... syncopated singing perhaps ... then there’s a bit of acoustic music until we close it out

Oh ... ... this past weekend, I "completed" another project ...
