#Inktober2025 [vacant]

#inktober2025 [Lesson] The idea was from S5, e3 of Only Murders in the Building, where the three characters got into the pose of the three monkeys. The idea was fun, but the drawing of it became a bit much. The lesson I got from this is, when thinking of ideas for a *daily* art challenge, try to keep it smaller.

#Inktober2025 [onion] Went to pinterest to google ‘onion’ and realized, I forgot this is what onions look like. Reminds me of when I was watching a youtube video of a guy hiking in the mountainous forest, and he mentioned how clouds are made of water, and I realized I had forgotten that. (Onions are poisonous to dogs.)

#Inktober2025 [Inferno] That time during the pandemic when we were inspired by Hyori’s Bed and Breakfast and made a fire pit in the backyard 🔥

So just yesterday, I realized there’s an option to report a user in the drop down menu. (How did I not notice this earlier?) Also just yesterday, I saw the option for deleting a post. #damus

hands is hard to draw. Just oneeee more part to draw. A miniature version of a sketchbook page from May when I was doing a monthly art challenge (a first for me).

most probably will forget a lot of these a lot, especially the last one. but, still gotta write it down.

#bullying #onlinebullying (1 of 2) Tuesday. Harassment incident on a busy road. Posted about it to r/ [local region subreddit]. 3 reasons for doing so: 1. To slow down my desire to report to police 2. To point out this busy neighborhood street and have public awareness about the guy 3. To be like, yea, if there are @$$holes, let’s photograph and post them here 3 days later (Friday), I read the responses. They were mostly mean and bullying. I got really angry. It somewhat disturbed my sleep. I woke up the next morning feeling slightly sick, and still thinking about it. It got worse each time I went out into the neighborhood. I felt depressed and alone. Came back home and discussed with GPT. The complex situation was analyzed and articulated and I instantly felt much better.

#bullying #onlinebullying (2 of 2) I had been taking a break from Nostr since Tuesday. Decided to browse it. The contrast between that and r/ [local region subreddit] made me realize *how* Nostr as a social media app is different from Reddit. It’s better for dealing with bullies, but also, currently at least, it doesn’t seem to *attract* bullies. In contrast, it seems to attract people who value not bullying. Based on Chat GPT’s summary, certain subreddits (i.e., local neighborhood ones) actually attract and empower bullies. (Or maybe, bullies see how they can be empowered and are attracted to it?) So I guess this is a positive outcome of this painful, emotional rollercoaster of an experience. Understanding the difference between these two social media platforms. Previously, I had been thinking that the two are very similar … just that the one has a decentralization, free speech, and bitcoin emphasis.

Hm. Something that has come up - bullying, harassment. In real life, and on social media (Reddit). I think this is important to think about because … Bullying in another context, is harassment. And harassment in another context & at a different scale, is oppression from the State, or an institution. So the options for dealing with bullying in real life and on social media is very important. First books and TV shows #聪明的一休 smart, clever Yi Xiu (a monk in training whose mom died) #三毛 3 hairs (a homeless boy who was an orphan) These were the first cartoon and comic books I was exposed to in China. Also a Chinese comic book of The Smurfs which I memorized. Then, I got to the U.S., and it was Barney the dinosaur on a small black and white TV that we probably got for free. It was cool when we got a color TV and I could see the purple and green colors of Barney.
