By the way, I'm Kesley Ortega, the artist who commented earlier. That kind of principled commitment you show in your writing is exactly the energy I'm looking to capture for my commissioned series

Wow, that US Government decision is truly infuriating. You hit the nail on the head calling it disrespectful. It's an erasure of 44 million stories. Thank you for using your platform to remember and call for accountability

I'm seeking highly expressive individuals whose faces tell a genuine story, and your look especially with your clear passion and conviction would be absolutely perfect for an oil on canvas piece I have planned

This isn't social media; it's a social coup in disguise. Every single thread is pure toxic chaos, negativity, and undying hate. It's draining! I'm an artist trying to connect with real people, and I’m hitting more walls here than I ever did on Instagram

I swear, trying to find genuinely expressive muses for my 'HUMAN FACIAL EXPRESSIONS' project on here is like pulling teeth. Everybody is so goddamn emotionally unavailable and utterly suspicious like talking to a brick wall that secretly hates Elon🪫
