Just an update, since art is going so slow right now, of what I am working on BEFORE I start doing adopts again. And this is in relative order of how I plan to complete each piece - some flip-flops could happen, but I plan to stick pretty close to this order...

Once I am done with the above arts, I will start on adopts for the following CS [also probably in this order]. These will be done monthly in that I will be choosing one group to work on each month and making adopts for only that group that month:
I find it amusing that when the claim is laid out that one "treats people the way they are treated" that the said person does the exact opposite. Just so we are all on the same page here, this is the type of commentary I am speaking on:
As a rule, I find no fault in this until I see something like this:
Make it known that this critique was placed very respectfully on a deviation that had the request critique feature turned ON. She literally REQUESTED to have her deviation critiqued. And lucky for her, she received a very polite and well thought-out critique. And then she slammed on the breaks of treating people how she is treated and responded, not in kind, but it absolute rudeness and condescension. And she wonders why people take issue with her???
She even bashes on people and the software they use for no good reason - an elitist thing to do as not all people have the same access to the same types and quality of technology for a variety of different reasons. Something someone who claims ALL THE TIME to know how this is because of her disadvantages of being disabled. Yet here we have a very calm individual giving some great advice [that is not followed by PD3D mind you] to her on that very topic:
PD3D goes on an on at length about how she is innocent of all wrongdoing because of her disability, yet again and again does the same things to people and gets the same results that she herself claims to not even like. And then goes on to claim she has no control over herself or how she treats people:
She leaves platforms bc she claims she is bullied for having "opinions" yet she also bullies people openly and makes callout journals, statuses and comments - these people didn't do anything to her - she isn't reacting - she is actively going to other peoples pages and art and attacking. That's not having "opinions" anymore. That is bullying:
The more you know, the more it becomes an issue WITH the person and not with the people surrounding the person or leaving the person. Because honestly, who could blame someone for leaving a person who does this kind of thing all the time and then blame their mental illness and everyone else for it. I know more than a dozen people with serious mental illnesses, and none of them blame their illness for their behavior. I myself have some serious mental illnesses [yes, plural illness] and while I post callouts occasionally like this, I don't go around bullying people and then blaming my illness for it and claiming I'm a good person.
The problem here is the person, not the illness. While I will conceded that mental illness is terrifying and difficult, it is not the sole reason for bullying other people. That, friends, comes from the personality of the bully. Mental illness doesn't make you be mean.
Stay classy folks and leave PD3D alone - do not engage her. But be aware that she is there, and she will bully you and then feign that she herself was the one bullied for having mental illness. A sad, sad individual.
So, as many of you know, I have an ED page [if you don't know, now you do] because I have the audacity to be a USAF Veteran. Well now another notorious site has me mentioned - three times - but at least I am not the subject of those posts. It is actually PD3D that is the subject and they are simply linking my journals and Artists Aware PSA on her - of which you can get the full deets at our website here...
Speaking of ED pages, it will burn their [the ED kids] little bottoms to know it is once again VETERAN'S DAY coming up tomorrow! And as per my usual, I will be going out to dine on free meals, get some random freebies, and talk with other veterans. Of course, all this after work. I do have to work tomorrow which sucks, but it can't be helped. I will still have dinner out tho with my daughter, and we will have SUCH A TIME! <3
I am very thankful for Veteran's Day. It is a small thing to do for the people who gave up their own personal freedoms, so you can have all yours intact. And all the government does is use us veterans for political clout and stunts, and they make empty promises on the campaign trails. So yeah, I take full advantage of Veteran's Day.
I mean, don't get me wrong, free healthcare for life is nice. Low cost prescriptions isn't terrible. BUT these systems have serious problems and veterans die waiting for medical specialists - and no one cares - and politicians, who can enact actual change for the betterment of veterans, don't care and just make those filthy empty promises.
I would join the Air Force all over again if I had the option. I loved it there. It is too bad I was injured and was discharged. I wanted to be a lifer. But the stars were just not aligned properly for that life for me. For those interested to know, I was an A1C studying to become a Senior Airman when I was discharged. I worked at Wilford Hall on Lackland AFB as a 4N031 [basically a LPN and an EMT]. My specialty was high risk labor and delivery - I was a Bereavement Care Specialist and Neonatal Resuscitation Specialist working in the LDRP and NICU at Wilford Hall.
Would I ever enter the medical field again? No. It was very stressful, and I cried a lot when my patients died [and had panic attacks at work on the daily]. It takes a special person to be in the medical field, and I am not that person. As it was, I was looking to transfer to another job when I was discharged. And because of panic attacks from working in the LDRP and NICU and a knee injury that continually caused problems [still does now 21 years later], the Air Force made the decision to discharge me. It is what it is.
I was honorably discharged and I am a service-connected veteran [means I was discharged because of an injury and am on disability because of it]. I'm not 100% disabled tho. I do get a check every month to help offset expenses and a clothing allowance every year to help offset the wear-and-tear on my clothes because I often wear knee braces just to be able to walk. I also see a slew of specialists for my knee care, now foot pain care [because of nerve damage from my injuries causing neuropathy in my foot], and mental health care.
If you are looking to join the military, it is a rewarding experience. And if you thrive on routines and structure, you will do great there!
Have a blessed Veteran's Day all! And a big thanks to all who have served and to those who serve now. <3
This is an old photo from school at Sheppard AFB when we were training to be medics. Top is Matrow, then me middle right, and then the bottom is Weber. I love and cherish this photo. I also have my old basic training "yearbook" and a photo of us and our brother squad together. Fond memories. <3
So, uh, I guess if you get reported a lot and have your content removed, just take Dawn's advice on how to get reinstated! LOL This may be the only advice she gives that she listens to XD
I know you've blocked me already. I checked when I got back home today from work. But you know who you didn't block? THE WORLD. And also, what will you do when you reach 500 blocked deviants? You know you can only block 500, right? And I have LOTS OF FRIENDS that you don't even know about. Are they on my friendlist on dA? Sure, but can you find them all among the 2,100 deviants that friended me on deviantART? I mean, to find yours, I need only go thru... oh what is it, 88? And you list them all out so nicely that we know exactly of that 88 who we need to be especially aware of. So thanks for that from all of us. Terribly helpful.
Speaking of, once you're done blocking your 500 people, do you plan to just disappear on dA as a side account somewhere in the dark reaches where you think we can't find you? Because, all we need to do to find you is to follow your friends. I'm sure you won't abandon those. And even if you did, which I wouldn't put past you at this point, I am sure you couldn't keep yourself from posting your journals and status updates... which means we need only watch for new woe-is-me posts in all deviations and check them with a tool to find stylized writing [which everyone has] to find you.
I don't think you have thought this through one bit. You can't be a troll on the internet and bully children without someone saying and doing something about it. And I have A LOT of experience saying and doing things about it from my time founding groups as lovely as the dAmn-army and my group all on treating people with respect. Me and mine have always followed the trolls of the internet. And you have our rapt attention now.
Darling no, I was giving you the chance to right the wrongs you have done. And the evidence against you is impressive. Not dazzling per se but impressive. We've got you trolling, bullying/cyber-bullying, and being an art thief just to start. We are digging, so if you have more skeletons in the closet, we will find those too - it may take time, but we have that and love what we do. Also, it is interesting that you say that all the tons of people saying you are a bully and a troll are the liars and only you are telling the truth. Sounds like someone else I know of.... mmmmmm, OH YES, DONALD TRUMP. Perhaps you won't go to federal prison for your lies, but your lies are no less harmful.
You also seem to lack knowledge of what a bully is. Let's fix that with the help of good'ol Merriam Webster:
YOU ARE THE BULLY. Remember this?
That is bullying. And you even admitted to it in an AWFUL and HATEFUL status after the fact:
Now I know you later edited all the bad stuff out of this journal, making it much shorter to make yourself sound better than you are, but let's not split hairs here. YOU BULLIED AND ADMITTED IT.
We aren't from KiwiFarms friend. Never been there. So before you go spreading more lies and misdirection about that, let it be known that me and mine have no association with that site.
You posted at one time about your alt account getting banned and you didn't know why. See, people remember things like that. And now to try and bury the memory, you went ahead and deleted your comments here https://www.deviantart.com/comments/4/50941376/5082730067 - but we remember... And many have already seen the damage you did to a 15 YEAR OLD. You bullied a CHILD. Disgusting.
All we asked you to do was to make yourself accountable - something you claim to always do on your woe-is-me journals. Yet instead you made 3 back-to-back posts about nonsense and spread more lies. Doesn't seem like you take your own advice.
This is the kindest you will get from me. Take a step back or me and mine will go nuclear. It would also be nice if you suddenly decided to be accountable for the damage you've done, but we aren't holding our breath.
