Something I wrote right after the New Year. Since then I've becoming even more aware of how social media and the whole marketing thing is just an expression of the larger system of which I'm a "data subject" -- but hey, I'm certainly not alone in that regard. And there are alternative ways of being, and of moving through the world. "Breaking the Wheel"Breaking the Wheel https://jeanvengua.com/index.php/2020/01/03/breaking-the-wheel/

Breaking the Wheel: All social media "logic" tells me that, as an artist, I'm crazy to be leaving Instagram and Twitter. Yet, I'm doing just that: https://jeanvengua.com/index.php/2020/01/03/breaking-the-wheel/

I've started making small #art, to match the size of my studio. Tired of trying to find room for largish pieces. Here's one thing, "Lineas de Corazon." Description: black & white organic seed shapes and tubes threading through a vaguely #surreal, black, heart-shaped thing with a pointy shapes emerging from a disk. #graphite on bristol. 6x6 in. #pilipinx #artist

Haven't been on the 'ol Mastodon much lately. But in the meantime I've become a rabid fangirl of @TheExpanse.

Hi, all: Is there an Mastodon instance that's more US/California based? I like Mastodon social, but miss the local connections.

So here I am again, 4 mos. later. Not sure why this isn't quite doing it for me. Perhaps I need to get on another instance...an art instance, for instance.

Oh wow. It just automatically linked! Way to go, Mastodon!
