There's too much credit going to the Wright Brothers
Their plane required a headwind to take off at all, I mean yeah, props to them for getting off the ground at all
But who should get more credit is Alberto Santos-Dumont, his plane could actually fly with just its own power
Mar de plástico looks like it was shot with the hefe filter.
I cant remember if ive posted this here but here is the good fluff who hangs above my guest bed and guards the dreams of whoever sleeps there. One of the most enjoyable things ive painted in a while.

So, remembering that if you buy a Ko-fi ($3) from me, I'll do a bust sketch of any character/oc you choose
I'll make a bonus now too that I'll color the sketch too
I'm not too confortable publishing this, but me and my mother are really needing money right now, so I would really appreciate if you would commission me

If you feel overwhelmed, that people ask you too much, that you're a failure and these things, please take 30 minutes, go on your bed, close your eyes, breathe slowly and deeply, empty your mind (yes, I'm talking about this little voice that's constantly nagging you with negative stuff), and let your mind drift.
Let out what you feel and whatever crosses your mind at this moment, embrace it.
You can analyze that afterwards if you want or do anything you like, but I found that doing that regularly allows me to control a little bit better my anxieties. And when I do that, I'm way more calm and happy afterwards.

if you find yourself on an involuntary psych hold, utter these magic words and then stop talking: "I want to designate a patient advocate"
it informs them that you know what your rights are.
let the patient advocate do the talking at the court session, they will try to trip you up in cross-examination.
document all interactions with doctors, they are the only people that are legally forbidden from lying to you to gain compliance. nurses and other staff are not only allowed to lie, but taught to lie to gain compliance. catching a doctor in a lie is an immediate ticket to freedom and is easier than you might think, but the trick is to document all interactions.
under no circumstance should you ever agree to voluntary commitment: if you do that, you throw out all legal protections and they will keep you there as long as they feel they can get away with.
finally, a good reason to not feel bad about ignoring reviews, especially negative ones:
Reviews are subjective, and the tiny subset of people who leave them aren’t average.
“Very few people write reviews. It’s about 1.5 percent, or 15 people out of 1,000,” Dr. Simester said. “Should we be relying on these people if we’re part of the other 985?”
