Building something in a cave with nothing but a box of scraps.

[LeafaBeam @LeafaBeam]

Alone at night, I sit and think.
The glow of passing cars, gone in a blink.
Pondering, What does the future hold?
All sorts of stories, I'm sure, yet to be told.
Have we learned from those gone past?
Or are those mistakes yet to be our last?
A flash from my phone, a reply has appeared.
My interest peaked, to it my hand steered.
People of all sorts now speak to me.
Some make me fear a repeat of history.
But for all those of anger, cruelty and hate,
There are those whose kindness and strength won't abate.
So if you see this, be it day or night.
There's hope yet, so keep up the fight.

@TheOneMalsGal Hey. Sorry. I never saw this. Yes, actually. I've been building a lot behind the scenes and should reach at least a DBA (doing business as) state in a few months.

@TheOneMalsGal Correct. It's a definitive step up.
I'm actually cutting down on the hotel and saving for the end of the year when I plan to quit and take a year to focus purely on my education and business.

[LeafaBeam @LeafaBeam]

@TheOneMalsGal No. I got myself into a car instead and from there, split time in a hotel. The area I'm in just isn’t particularly friendly to such projects (or the poor in general). I'd like another go at it one of these days, but it's just not a necessity anymore.

[LeafaBeam @LeafaBeam]

Merry Christmas Eve everyone.
I know I've been gone a long time, and frankly I'm not quite ready to come back, but I'm building behind the scenes.
When I am back, and I will be back, I won't be the same as you've known me—and that is the whole point.
Have a great Christmas.

[LeafaBeam @LeafaBeam]

@TheOneMalsGal Hey. Long time no see.
I've been alright. Better than I once was when you first saw me, but far from where I'm trying to go. Thanks for asking.
How are you?

If you haven’t watched this video of KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov talking about Active Measures, you are missing some key historical information that could help you understand how America has ended up where we are today.

Charlie Kirk is dead because the people who ought to be in prison, roam free.

Without accountability we live under the illusion of freedom.

More of us need to be on the front lines.

Time to fear God, not man.

@alexia_moi_voss 10$ ain't bad. I'll find a spot in my budget for it. Here's hoping you get a good amount of sales. 🍺

It's a late night in the middle of July. You and two of your closest friends have decided to take a trip together. After a hard won debate your friend Trey managed to convince you and your other friend Margaret that going to see the mountains was the best idea.
It took two long days of driving with a car packed full with everything you all thought you would need to reach the mountain Trey had selected. At it's base is a small town where you all had decided to make your base of operations for the duration of the trip.
Upon reaching the town you notice there don't appear to be any new buildings and everything is quite worn down. As Trey drove the car down what looked like the main road through town something caught your eye. It's hard to tell at night, but you're certain one of the buildings you saw through an alley was completely collapsed.
"Trey. Are we sure this is the place?" Margaret asked.
Stopping the car at an intersection Trey glanced around and nodded. "Gps says it is. The hotels supposed to just up the road."
"I don't like it. This place is giving me bad vibes. Look! The trash cans are overflowing. That's disgusting!" she said, her voice expressing total revulsion.
"Well were already here. We should just go to the hotel." he shot back clearly tired from the long road trip.
"I don't want to stay in this filthy town.Please can we just go somewhere else!? Anywhere else!?" she whined and pleaded.
Sighing Trey started searching for nearby places to stay on his phone. After a couple of minutes, still sitting at the intersection he piped up "Looks like there's a bed and breakfast place at the next town. It's about twenty miles from here though and I'm tired. I'd rather we just go to the hotel."
Shooting a glare at him she turns to you. "What do you think? Come on. I don't want to stay here."

What will you decide?

[LeafaBeam @LeafaBeam]

What do you think you should do next?

Learn a little history today.

[World Scholar @WorldScholar_]

This is the Pyramid of Cestius, the only pyramid in Rome.

But contrary to popular belief, it wasn't built alone 2,047 years ago — and neither was it Egyptian.

Here's what we know about Rome's most unusual wonder... 🧵

[LeafaBeam @LeafaBeam]

Took some trial and error, but I finished the brain. Decided to add a bit of flavor and put in a scene.
Not sure if it's good enough though. I made it with the hopes of landing a small freelance gig. We'll see how that goes.

[LeafaBeam @LeafaBeam]

It was suggested I draw flowers.

[LeafaBeam @LeafaBeam]

Made for @Gracee_skyy
It was good practice. Next is a flower or two as recommended by another. Feel free to make any requests you have. I'll give it a go, for free.

@LeafaBeam Can you make a banner for Gracy's account so I can upload it on Twitter? The theme should be black and red, and please mention Facebook.

[LeafaBeam @LeafaBeam]

Bit Delayed, But MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 🎄🎁
I Hope You All Had A Great Christmas Day And Got The Best Of Presents!
(i love neon❤️‍🔥)

[LeafaBeam @LeafaBeam]

@Cryptocockatooo Will do. Thanks!

[LeafaBeam @LeafaBeam]

I made an art! I did trace the original character, but I did all the color, line work, and shading. I'm proud of how I managed to make it more of my own, but I'll still post the original that this was based off of below. Credit where credit is due after all.

[LeafaBeam @LeafaBeam]

Original is was found on Pintrest under the name sketchpunk. Won't post a direct link due to X's algo, but it should be easy to find on there if you want to go there to verify. Below is the original artwork. Clearly better, but I am a practicing novice.

@fa3riedvst @BleachLavender @CringeCrow @writriverdale That depends on the context of when, where, and what is being read. Wrong is subjective here, but on the standard that watching porn is degenrate behavior, reading books that are essentially porn for many women is also degenrate. Whether it's "wrong" is up for debate and context.

[LeafaBeam @LeafaBeam]

@Freya_Allmother American dad is kinda hit and miss. To be taken in doses instead of binge watched in my opinion. Course I suppose if you're hyper political and/or the sensitive type it could be uncomfortable for different reasons. Kinda just depends on what you're finding uncomfortable and why.
