First Steps, Vincent van Gogh, 1890.

A painting depicting a rural family scene. On the left, a man in blue work clothes crouches with his arms outstretched. On the right, a woman supports a toddler who is taking steps toward the man. In the background is a garden, a small house, a blooming tree, and white laundry hanging on a line.

A large, rusty round door is embedded in a dull green concrete wall. The door, if that's what it is, has various bolts, vents, and complexities that make the purpose hard to define. To the left and connected to it is a small keypad with glowing green and red lights. Above it is a pipe, and a single glowing fluorescent light. On the wall above it is a faded stencil of "30" in red paint, and a grimy sign with a red triangle on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Yes. This looked like a good place to stop; theirs would be the only boats here.

So they banked the vessels on the shore; took out the backpacks with their lunch and the excellent books each of them had thought to bring, and spent a most productive and satisfying afternoon.

Hi all!

I just opened up a Kofi because I have been struggling to find employment and have some old medical bills that I'd really like to get sorted. Having a source of income beyond that initial goal would also be nice, but that's getting ahead of myself.

With this Kofi, I'm also opening up some $1.50 commissions. That's not a typo, I'm that desperate. For $1.50 I will be taking requests for doodles in KolourPaint. More details in the attached image.

Boosts heavily appreciated. I may do streams dedicated to fulfilling these requests, depending on overall interest.

An MS Paint styled drawing of a mousegirl in a field looking back at you ominously as a setting sun peeks out from behind her.

Over this drawing is a bunch of info for "Kolourpaint Commissions".

The main body of text reads: "Hi. I have $100 in medical bills, so I am opening up $1.50 (USD) creative freedom(ish) commissions for Paint doodles. I will still stick as closely as possible to the provided idea, if applicable, I just am giving myself that little bit of wiggle room for some personal interpretation/discretion as to not get stressed out by doing such cheap commissions. I hope this is acceptable.

If you make a donation rather than directly commissioning me, please still provide an idea and all relevant info, I may still do a doodle for you. Thank you!"

There are 3 examples of low quality, for donations less than $1.50. "Smaller donations may get a silly zero effort doodle, for fun."

There are 5 examples of varying quality for $1.50 commissions/donations. "Commissions will get higher effort doodles. Larger donations may get doodles like these as well. Also for fun!"

At the bottom are my Fedi and Kofi socials, maemele@critters.gay and Kofi.com/maemele.

"The Voyage of Life: Youth" painted by Thomas Cole in 1842.

A romantic landscape painting by Thomas Cole depicting a young man in a golden boat steering eagerly toward an ethereal, glowing palace in the distant clouds, while a guardian angel stands on the riverbank gesturing toward the heavens.

Right. Introduction post.

It’s a little complicated (and probably too long and too much).

I’ve been lieven for a few years now but it’s not my actual name. My real name is that rare I can find only about 5 people with the same name in the world (but none with the same spelling). Seemingly I’m the only one in Europe, at least in modern times.

That’s what happens when you choose your name with care and take a few years to find it. My previous name was also rare though shared with a famous cartoon (not intentional). There’s a story why that name became history too. Maybe one day I’ll share.
The name originally given to me came alongside a traumatising religious event by the two people who ended up abusing me until I was removed from the home at 13 and those two eventually had a judge revoke their parental rights.

I take a lot of pride in the person I’ve become – me. It was not easy to get here. At the same time, there’s still a lot of lingering trauma and I’ve yet to find my tribe.
As an outspoken queer neurodivergent mixed-race writer who consistently writes about society’s errors and highlights the lives of the vulnerable among us I’ve made a lot of enemies and have seen a lot of violence.

I’m an activist who doesn’t hold up a protest sign but a mirror.

Proud as I am of my identity, I am also deliberately anonymous online. Not by choice, but for my safety. I hope you understand.

That said, I am very much human. Too human, at times.

I care and am fiercely political. Given my identity I have no choice. I wish more people cared.

Beyond all that, I mentor queer youth. I am a storyteller and help others tell their stories. I am an artist who works primarily online, with text; sound and sometimes animation.

I build pretty little confrontational worlds.

I have a diverse professional background and am occasionally hired to do other things as well. Sometimes you just need the money.

I’m a millennial but I’ve come to the conclusion linear time no longer serves me.
If I am not online I am probably working out, reading or sleeping.

I’m barophobic but that’s only sensible.

Want to seduce me? Contemporary art, politics, music, sustainability, interior design, fashion and empathy turn me on. As long as you make an effort and don’t just go for the easy and the obvious.

The fediverse seems a nicer, better, place to be. I’m glad I’m finally here.

Detail of a line drawing in black and white by lieven. It's chaotic with lines forming small shapes transforming into larger shapes, including a spiral and a bust of a human figure. The shapes are not immediately clear. The words "I don't know what to say anymore" are also in the drawing. No AI.

My honest reaction to you people calling this "^^", the cat ears operator lol

#CodeGals #Sketch #Art #Krita

A C++ catgirl dressed as a maid, with a flustered expression, nervous about people seeing her like that, she also wear paw gloves and a choker with a bell.

There's as text in the right side that says: "C++ 26 be like... Must Catgirl to do Compile Time Reflection"

A person walks across a tightrope high in the sky. The ground is not visible, just blue sky and clouds. The person is holding a balancing pole. They have arrived at the other end of the tightrope, which is anchored to a yellow sign planted in a chunk of earth that is hovering in space. The sign says "Closed" in black letters. A bird is perched on top of the signpost. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#introduction

hello! i'm back to mastodon on a new instance after an extended social media break. looking forward to a fresh start.

i like #flowers #plants #animals #writing #reading #art #music #repair and a bunch of other stuff.

i'm hoping to keep my experience on the lighter side this time around, so i'll be following more selectively than before. i will be checking news, politics, etc., here, but probably not wanting it on my feed.

see you around #bloomscrolling and #caturday!
