Zoidberg: Everyone! Quick! I was reading about this man RFK Jr. who says that we have to stop all modern medical practices immediately. He says they're poisonous....
Amy: RFK Jr. was an unqualified political grifter who died in disgrace from preventable illnesses over a thousand years ago. All of his theories were discredited even while he was still alive. You'd have to be a complete moron to take him seriously.
Leela: God, Dr. Zoidberg. Aren't you even a little ashamed at being such an idiot?
Fry: Yeah, Zoidberg. Even I knew that. How embarrassing for you.
A little Urban Sketch of Setagaya Park, a Japanese garden with a peaceful pond, filled with koi in Vienna, Austria. I used the Derwent Line & Wash Paint Pan Set.
Introducing “Home Is Where Your Head’s At” :-)
Starting a new sketchbook as we leave the summer and head into the autumn again… with things like Halloween and Samhuinn rearing their heads it’s liable to sway what goes on here as it always does!
A far-too-common archetype that i have observed frequently in people as they converse with another is one in which an individual uses two layers of defense to protect an otherwise unexamined confusion or emptiness. This relates to a defense of the ego and does not apply to all situations involving anything discussed.
First posturing:
-A mask (or wall) of mockery is sustained in which the defensive individual behaves flippantly as if in jest. This positioning is a way to be aloof from the situation, using incredulity and belittlement to keep a person or their ideas away from the defensive individual.
Second posturing:
-A mask (or wall) of rage is revealed after a certain level of perceived threat is achieved internally. This positioning is usually the one the defensive individual maintains when they have given up the argument or the introspection. Not risking an ontological or existential crisis, the defensive individual lashes out with anger, often accusatorily in manner, potentially belittling others further or just plain rushing away in a huff. This is usually the end of the engagement.
Third posturing:
-The masks (or walls) both come off, leaving the defensive individual to examine the thoughts or behaviors involved in the situation more critically. The defensive individual may find themselves feeling deeply uncomfortable, sad, uneasy, lost, or confused. This position leads to introspection and to a genuine openness, which is not something that the defensive individual had been prepared for. They may find that they were incorrect, only partially correct, or that the perceived rightness of their idea/behavior now has an expanded context, all of which may seem frightening. Individuals may become mentally paralyzed at this point. It takes a strength and an honesty to reflect in this position, which is not something that everyone expressing this archetype will be capable of doing.

Also based on my casual and repeated interactions with both strangers and with more intimately known persons over the course of my lifetime. Observations are my own.)
I lost $15,000 in a crypto scam that left me feeling completely naive and heartbroken. It happened when I saw a tweet from what I thought was a verified account for a famous tech billionaire @Official_ ElonMusk_. The tweet promised a 24-hour Ethereum giveaway claiming that any ETH sent to a wallet would be doubled and returned instantly. The post was full of replies from bots saying it had worked which made it seem real.In a moment of impulsive excitement I sent 5 ETH my entire savings that I had been carefully accumulating for over a year. At first I waited with hope. Hours passed then a day. Nothing happened. I replied to the tweet and sent a desperate DM. Then the account disappeared entirely. The realization that I had just sent my life savings into a digital void was devastating.I felt too ashamed to tell anyone. Reporting the scam felt useless. For days I cried, panicked and scoured forums for help. That’s when I discovered SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY on a Reddit thread. Desperate, I contacted them through their website. To my surprise they responded immediately with compassion and understanding. They explained that crypto giveaway scams are extremely common but tracing funds is sometimes possible. SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY traced the ETH I had sent. While most had been laundered they discovered a portion had landed on a centralized exchange. With their forensic report and established contacts they successfully petitioned the exchange to freeze those funds. In the end they were able to recover over 3.5 ETH and return it to me.While I didn’t get everything back, regaining the majority of my savings felt like a second chance. SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY didn’t just help me recover my money, they restored my hope. I now feel far more confident navigating the crypto world. I am deeply grateful for their help in turning a moment of despair into a real lifeline. If you’ve been scammed out of your eth or any cryptocurrency assets reach out to them via below

For a long period had viewed cryptocurrency as both a horizon of possibility and a landscape fraught with peril. My investment in XRP was meant to be a deliberate and disciplined step toward financial independence grounded in careful research and measured reasoning. Yet despite vigilance I became entangled in one of the most calculated frauds I have ever encountered.The ordeal began with an unsolicited approach from a man who styled himself as a broker. He spoke with eloquence about volatility cycles, algorithmic trading and insider strategies that promised to turn market unpredictability into consistent profit. The platform he introduced appeared impeccably crafted with real-time charts, seamless dashboards and a professional façade designed to inspire confidence. His promise was irresistible: daily profits, exponential growth and supposedly guaranteed returns. Though instinct urged caution, ambition and misplaced trust compelled me to transfer $85,000 worth of XRP.At first the illusion was flawless. My balance multiplied at a dizzying pace supported by polished reports and reassuring communication. I convinced myself I had made the right decision. But the moment I tried to withdraw the deception unraveled. Excuses surfaced such as verification delays, system maintenance and compliance reviews. The pretexts grew increasingly elaborate until without warning the entire platform disappeared. My login failed, the website dissolved and the so-called broker vanished into digital oblivion. My funds were gone.The financial blow was heavy but the deeper wound was humiliation knowing I had been manipulated so completely. In my desperation to find recourse I discovered Salvage Asset Recovery. Unlike the fraudsters their team projected candor and expertise. They offered no grandiose guarantees, only a clear plan of action: trace the stolen assets across the blockchain, analyze wallet addresses and engage with exchanges to intercept and freeze funds before they vanished into anonymity.Their pursuit was methodical. Using advanced forensic techniques they followed every digital footprint, identified laundering attempts and compiled evidence robust enough to withstand scrutiny. They kept me informed at every stage, never exaggerating progress, only presenting facts. Weeks later against all my expectations, Salvage Asset Recovery succeeded in recovering $70,000 worth of XRP. Though not the entirety of my loss it was an extraordinary victory and proof that justice in the digital wilderness is still possible.This reshaped my perspective. In cryptocurrency greed is the trap and vigilance the shield. Yet with the right expertise recovery can be achieved. For their relentless dedication, integrity and results I remain profoundly indebted to Salvage Asset Recovery. You can connect with them via below

Mixed media on toned tan paper.
Starting next week, I'm going back to college. I'm very excited for my courses, especially art & writing. It will be a great opportunity to explore my curiosities, improve my art skills, and grow as a person. I will share my art assignments if my instructors allow it. I would also like to write a little about each piece, which may be required for my assignments anyway.
Lately, I've been inspired by fantasy & fairytale artwork. I think fantasy & horror will make good focuses for my pre-BFA portfolio. This was a little experiment with a fairytale aesthetic. One of my goals is to use limited art supply sets & swap out colours as they run out. I feel the first colours I picked out fit with aesthetic well.
I'm proud of this drawing, especially the dress & the night sky. However, I can see some areas that I should've done differently. I'm not happy with the proportions & foreshortening of the limbs. Also, I shouldn't have used a background colour for the flowers. I added the colour to cover up a smear from the watercolour. I should avoid making large areas of solid colour, especially with my coloured pencils. I am learning & improving.
At seventy-five years old I strive to remain engaged with modern technology though I admit it can be overwhelming at times. The internet evolves rapidly and cryptocurrency in particular often feels like an entirely foreign language. Sadly I discovered just how confusing it can be when I became the victim of a sophisticated scam. I received an email claiming I had inherited Bitcoin from a distant relative. The correspondence appeared legitimate complete with legal jargon, official seals and documents that looked authentic. All I was required to do they said was pay certain processing and legal fees in cryptocurrency to release the funds. It seemed credible and not wanting to lose the opportunity I complied. By the time I recognized the deception I had lost nearly $40,000.The experience left me devastated. Beyond the financial damage I felt humiliated, ashamed and unsure where to turn. Thankfully my grandson intervened and introduced me to Salvage Asset Recovery. From my very first conversation with them I sensed a genuine difference. Rather than treating me with condescension they approached me with patience, empathy and respect. They assured me that countless people of all ages fall prey to such schemes. That compassion was the first sign I had finally found trustworthy allies.The team at Salvage Asset Recovery carefully outlined the recovery process in language that was clear, concise and easy for me to follow. They set realistic expectations, explained each step in detail and promised to provide consistent updates. True to their word I received daily progress reports and thoughtful explanations. That steady communication restored a measure of calm and gave me confidence that I was not alone.What impressed me most was their relentless professionalism and persistence. The investigators at Salvage Asset Recovery pursued my case with remarkable diligence skillfully tracing the stolen funds. Their determination never wavered and it was obvious they genuinely cared about restoring what I had lost. Their unwavering focus reignited hope at a time when I felt utterly defeated.After weeks of effort they achieved what I had considered impossible. Salvage Asset Recovery successfully recovered $35,000 of the $40,000 I had lost. The relief and gratitude I felt cannot be overstated. Thanks to their expertise I regained not only a substantial portion of my savings but also my faith in honest principled people.If you have ever been defrauded I wholeheartedly recommend Salvage Asset Recovery. They are compassionate, dependable and unyielding in their commitment to justice.

Cryptocurrency investing has always been a passion of mine but that passion quickly turned into panic when I became the victim of a fraudulent SOL trading platform. The platform promised a fifteen percent daily return which seemed like an incredible opportunity I could not miss. I was drawn in by the sleek interface, positive reviews and supposed user testimonials. Believing I had found a breakthrough I went ahead and deposited 92000 in SOL.To my horror the platform shut down the very next day. My account was wiped clean and I had no access to my funds. Just like that my entire investment vanished and I was left in financial ruin. The days that followed were some of the darkest I have ever experienced. I struggled to pay my bills, skipped meals and found myself in a deep emotional and financial pit.Feeling defeated and ashamed I turned to a close friend and confided in them. That conversation changed everything. My friend referred me to SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY , a specialized team that deals with cryptocurrency scam recovery. I was skeptical at first. After all, I had already been scammed once and was hesitant to trust anyone again. But desperation pushed me to give it a try. SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY impressed me. They listened carefully to my story, explained the process in clear detail and reassured me that they would do everything possible to help. Using advanced blockchain tools and digital tracing methods they were able to locate the flow of my stolen funds.Weeks later I received the news I never thought I would hear. SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY had successfully recovered my entire 92000 in SOL. I was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. I could finally breathe again knowing that my hard earned money had not been lost forever. If something sounds too good to be true in the crypto world it almost always is. While I still believe in the future of blockchain I now invest with much more caution and diligence.To anyone who has fallen victim to a similar scam know that all hope is not lost. Reach out to people who can truly help. SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY gave me a second chance and for that I will always be thankful. you can use the details provided below.

This week’s been an interesting one for socialising in my world, no denying it. If I’m not getting acquainted with new folks at work or at my art clubs, it’s reconnecting with people I haven’t seen in 20+ years… certainly informed today’s piece, without a doubt!
