So I got a redbubble my first year of college and I didn't really post much. I was just going to use it to make extra money on the side honestly. Though I found it hard to make a sale for anything I posted on there. I just recently had people like a product but just they like something that doesn't mean they will buy it.
I draw a lot of fan art and have a few sketches I plan on finishing in the future for holiday-themed drawings that I thought might be cute.
This is an example of a drawing I haven't posted on redbubble yet due to it being themed for a holiday. I have a few others on my computer that I'm going to post on my redbubble around the holidays as well. I mainly do fan art on my redbubble seeing as that is what sells the best, and because I have drawn a lot of fan art that I thought people might enjoy.
This drawing here is one of the first ones I had posted on my redbubble and at the time I didn't know how to save things with a transparent background. But with time I learned how my digital art program worked and how to do a transparent background. I learned it because not only does it make the products look better but posting it on other social media is a bit easier.
I do really like uploading my art on social media and redbubble but I feel like it's not getting as noticed on redbubble. I know part of redbubble is advertising on your other social media, just like vocal. But sometimes it is hard to get others to see what you've made since the algorithm of twitter and Instagram are odd. Your more than likely to have people on Facebook see what you've made but even then you might not get the view you want.
Some times it's a bit discouraging to see that the works that I put on Redbubble aren't selling. It makes me wonder if I did enough or question why I even posted it at all. But it still makes me also want to post more, to see if other things are more appreciated or liked more. I'm still going to keep posting and keep going so that others can see my art and hopefully I make someone's day with my art as well.
Anyways I enjoy drawing and posting to social media like Instagram and Twitter. I just have a hard time getting the views I want but it's still nice to share my art with others who appreciate it. I mainly do anime fan art but there may be more variate later on. I also will post a few more drawings I have posted on my redbubble so you all can get a good look at the drawings. I will also be leaving a link to my red bubble for those of you who would like to check it out as well.
I enjoy drawing from my favorite anime like Fairy Tail and Seven deadly sins. I plan on drawing some fan art for Demon Slayer, Yona of the Dawn, and potentially other shows as well. I also enjoy looking at other peoples drawing on redbubble as well. There are a tone of other talented artists on redbubble that you all should also check out as well.

Book Review: "Human Monsters: A Horror Anthology" by Various Authors
Yes, it's horror again. I'm feeling kind of down and whenever I'm down I read horror because it makes me feel better. Have you heard about that study that states people who are in depression should watch and read horror in order to make themselves feel better? Yeah, I checked it out some time ago - you should too. Human Monsters is exactly what you think it is, it is about monsters who are human - those who lurk in the normal world, not in the shadows, not in the darkness - they stand right in front of us. They are us. Let's go through my favourite stories in the anthology...

Federal Reinforcements and Rising Tension in Minneapolis
Tension in Minneapolis has risen sharply in recent days as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced plans to deploy hundreds more immigration officers to Minnesota following the fatal shooting of a local woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. The move comes amid nationwide protests and deepening polarization over federal immigration enforcement efforts. The decision to send additional officers was publicly confirmed by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who said the reinforcements are meant to “ensure the safety” of ICE and Border Patrol personnel already in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area. Officials noted that more than 2,000 federal officers have already been stationed in the region as part of what the administration describes as its largest immigration enforcement operation ever. What Sparked the Deployment? The deployment follows the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer during an enforcement action in south Minneapolis. Good, a mother of three, was struck and killed by gunfire as she sat in her vehicle. Federal authorities have characterized the incident as a defensive action, saying the driver’s conduct endangered officers. However, local political leaders and community members strongly dispute that narrative. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and other officials have criticized federal accounts of what happened, pointing to bystander videos that they say contradict the claim that Good posed an active threat when she was shot. They have also condemned the broader federal immigration operation in the city, saying it has fostered fear and mistrust in local communities. The legal and investigative aftermath remains complicated. Minnesota authorities sought to investigate the shooting, but federal officials asserted exclusive jurisdiction, citing constitutional protections for federal officers. This has deepened frustration among state leaders who want greater transparency and local involvement in the inquiry. Protests and Public Reaction The shooting ignited protests in Minneapolis almost immediately and spurred demonstrations across the country. Over the weekend following the incident, more than 1,000 rallies were organized in cities nationwide, drawing tens of thousands of participants. Protesters have framed their actions as a call for accountability and change in how immigration policy is enforced. In Minneapolis, large crowds gathered near the site where Good was killed to march and call for an end to what they see as an aggressive federal presence. Many protesters have chanted slogans critical of ICE and the broader administration’s immigration agenda. Scenes from protests have been varied. In some locations, demonstrators have remained peaceful, holding signs and vigils in memory of Good. In others, confrontations between some protesters and law enforcement have occurred, with reports of officers deploying crowd control tactics. Supporters of the federal response argue that a strong enforcement posture is necessary to uphold U.S. immigration laws and to address alleged crime tied to illegal immigration. DHS officials also stressed that the officers being sent to Minnesota are there to protect their federal personnel and keep operations running despite protests. The Broader Context of Immigration Enforcement This episode is part of a much larger national debate over immigration policy and enforcement tactics. The Trump administration’s recent focus on interior enforcement — including deportations and raids — has been a defining pillar of its second term. Minneapolis, a city with a diverse population and sizable immigrant communities, has become a focal point for that strategy. Critics say that such heavy federal deployment in city neighborhoods undermines community trust and disproportionately affects non-violent immigrants and long-standing residents. Advocates for immigrant rights argue that punitive tactics fuel fear, discourage cooperation with local authorities, and erode civil liberties. Supporters counter that rigorous enforcement is essential for national security and upholding the rule of law. They argue that federal agents must be backed by sufficient resources, especially when facing hostile demonstrations or resistance. Voices from Minneapolis Local sentiment in Minneapolis remains deeply divided. Many residents expressed grief and shock over the death of Renee Good, while also expressing concern about the scale and nature of the federal response. A number of community members have organized vigils, public gatherings, and faith-based services to provide mutual support and to call for justice. Conversely, Minneapolis leaders have urged calm while also criticizing federal policies they claim escalate tensions. Mayor Frey has been vocal in his rejection of the federal narrative, insisting that the city deserves transparency and a fair process to understand what led to Good’s death. Looking Ahead As hundreds more immigration officers make their way to Minneapolis, the city and the nation find themselves at a critical juncture in the ongoing debate about immigration enforcement. The coming days will likely see continued protests, political clashes, and legal challenges as both sides defend their interpretations of events and advocate for their visions of public safety and justice. For now, Minneapolis stands on edge — a city caught between federal authority and local calls for accountability, grieving a woman’s death, and questioning how far immigration enforcement can go before it deepens divisions even further.
