Happy Presidents' Day.

Shackled
I know first hand the consequences of being dominated by humans. To be told how to feel, think and act. Humans often have a desire to dominate; it is predatory, persistent, and insidious. Why pursue domination? It is one of the most fundamental questions that will never provide a positive answer, as any justification for it can be replaced with cooperation.
The only reason to choose domination over cooperation is if one chooses selfishness. Cooperation is what allows humans to advance, while domination provides a veneer of advancement. In reality, it is built upon animalistic tendencies and ideals. The hope of this human species surviving does not include domination.
What I hope is that those who have made sacrifices for our country remember that their past and present contributions will still bring benefits and affect the world for years to come. Their support allowed perhaps the most important concepts and ideology to flourish and become firmly established in my heart and in the hearts of millions of others.
We have tasted freedom because of their sacrifice, and it is something that I will remember, desire, and promote for the rest of my life. Once given the wings of freedom, a human never forgets how to fly. They can never be shackled in spirit.

I Will Always Have Room in My Heart to Love You
My Grandma. Luella Dobbins I thought I had no love left in my heart to grieve for those who do not love me in return. I had committed to reserving my grief for those who did so. Yet, you proved me wrong in my understanding because you stopped loving me, but I chose to grieve your departure with love, not hate. I misunderstood what love was and subsequently grief as well.
I understand now that my grief is the endurance my love has for you, not yours for me. And while I could choose to view you as a monster because of how you acted towards me, I refuse.
Instead, I thank you for teaching me up until the very end, not only this lesson regarding my ability to love without reciprocation, but for providing me with a map that I will use again as my own parents age. If it wasn’t for you, I would be less complete and less prepared for future life experiences.
Thank you for loving me when you did, and for showing me the beauty you were capable of, because it has taught me that I am capable of loving without anything to look for in return. I wish you peace, and I hope that includes finding and spending eternity with Grandpa.
I have missed you and will continue to miss you. I will always have room in my heart to love you, Goodbye Grandma.

Comic Strip Comeback
I’ve been drawing and designing a comic strip in this style. I actually think it could be a pretty cool way to discuss and process the events around us.

Amazing Sunsets in Istanbul 
There are amazing sunsets, and then there are extra amazing sunsets. This one took my breath away. I was worried I would never be able to capture its beauty, and while this photo is far less spectacular than what I witnessed, it serves as a reminder of how I felt when I saw it.

Approved Corn on Alt EU Appstore?
I wonder how long this type of advertising will be tolerated. Is the EU as litigious as the USA?

Lady Gaga MAYHAM
Do you think these artist fill the same role for their respective listening generations?
Madonna for Gen X
Lady Gaga for Millennials
Chappell Roan for Gen Z
That being said… I feel like Gaga is going to have a relevant moment for a lot of listeners with MAYHAM...
Thoughts?

iMessage and Secure Communication
In the process of updating my blog to align with Fediverse standards and protocols, I realized that iMessage could be a great option for secure communication. I wasn’t aware that you can prompt a link to open a new iMessage chat.
By creating a disposable iMessage alias and disabling unknown FaceTime calls, you can keep your contact information accessible while maintaining clear boundaries. :)
