Jim Sloan
By Brian D’Ambrosio At 90, Jim Sloan has lived several lifetimes’ worth of work—carpenter, sign painter, excavator, sawmiller, road-builder and the go-to rattlesnake remover of Galisteo, New Mexico. Art may be the through-line, but it has never been the source of his income, nor the center of his universe. Sloan has always kept one foot in the studio and the other in the soil, without bothering to decide which world he truly belongs to. The truth is that he fits cleanly into neither, and he has long since stopped trying.

Word of the Day: 推し
I am not putting any more time on my timer right now. I am just trying to get by here. There is almost no point to school because, like 35% of the time is technical difficulties and the rest of the time is things that actually aren't really useful.

I Was Almost Forgotten by Life, Until I Chose to Remember Myself
Story There was a time in my life when I felt invisible. Not the kind of invisible where people accidentally overlook you, but the kind where it feels like the world has already decided you don’t matter. I walked through my days quietly, carrying thoughts I never shared and dreams I didn’t dare to speak aloud.

Impressive Artwork by Odilon Redon
French symbolist artist Odilon Redon was famous for his drawings in the 1880s. The artist’s artworks were mentioned in the popular 1884 novel “A Rebours,” or “Against the Grain,” by Joris-Karl Hysmans. His later artworks were created in oils and pastels. He developed an interest in Hinduism and Buddhism, and this interest in mysticism is reflected in his works of art.

Am i Demon-possesed?
On my journey to trying to understand the development of schizophrenia I've endured over the last five years, has given me the ultimate question. Am I demon-possessed? Let me begin by expressing the psychosis I was in five years ago It started when I was living away from family. Now, it's important to not that the brain and mind are interchangeable and schizophrenia is a brain disease. From what I've been told and the major consumption of research it is a chemical imbalance in the brain that has been brought on by stress, trauma, genetics, environmental factors such as an emotionally distressing event, drugs, and psychological factors.

Word of the Day: 進捗
I came to school with a really heavy bag. I packed both of my computers in my backpack today. I guess I need to actually work too but I am just spending my time here for some reason. I am not getting financial aid, they keep sending me emails about that I made " changes " so I am like... ok I guess I have to handle it. It is very annoying. Hence why I am sitting here. My backpack is super heavy and I don't want to climb all those steps. I haven't eaten a lot lately. I mean I am happy I lost like 4lbs so that's good but, I am pretty miserable for the most part.
