...I was actually requested to say this line by the person who told me I sound like Viktor and at the time I completely missed the reference. And now I miss the reference even on hexbear...
While I understand the intent behind your expression I will have to stop you right there.
There is no such thing as a "Diputs nation", my nation is the Earth and my compatriots are all of humanity. If you wish, you are free to use "Diputs commune" instead.
That aside I must say that right now I feel a great sense of hope for my own future, as I sense that my studies are on the cusp of new breakthroughs. As well as great hope for the world as the US continues its decline and China continues its ascent.
Oh, you really weren't kidding when you said you can see this right outside your window.
It reminds me of my nightmares of seeing nuclear bombs detonate on the horizon. I hope you can move away from this as soon as possible.
someone heard my voice for the first time yesterday and told me I sound like Viktor from Arcane, which is the exact same comment I got from someone else who has been my friend for 3 years when they heard my voice for the first time, i must say i feel quite honored
but 2 days ago in a conversation with my family my sister told me my voice sounds american and i still feel slightly insulted
I still hope I can whip the algorithm into shape eventually, I mostly stick with it because my choices of places for posting what I draw are just too limited to abandon it completely.
However, if you got no such attachment I will say that not bothering with it is the best course of action, the discover feed radiates so much smug liberalism someone should make a new unit of measurement for it akin to the units used to measure radiation. I feel like I got a near-fatal dose.
as much as I hate to admit it twitter was far superior to bluesky when I used it, on the second day of setting up twitter my "discover" feed was already exclusively artists, communists and photographs from socialist countries
now on bluesky I constantly press the "I beg you please show me less like this" button and when I make the mistake of going to the "discover" tab all I discover is brain-melting liberal smugness from some random folks like "Jon Cooper" blueskeeting #resist impact font memes or even outright US senators blueskeeting about how they are also #resisting Trump
I AM NOT AMERICAN, I AM NOT IN AMERICA, GET THESE GODDAMN YANKS OUT OF MY FACE, BLUESKY, I BEG YOU
i just found out that one of the artists i like is a gramsci-quoting karl marx-reading red to the bone communist, which is really nice to see
but they exclusively draw erotica (they are really good at it) so i can't really share a link to their profile with anyone
including me I know of 3 people here from Romania
fun fact, at one of the universities in the region there was an ENTIRE event celebrating this 3000 hectare tumor, they brought out the american soldiers to visit as well, pictures of campus looked like military occupation photos
Thank you, I now wish to scream at the clouds after reading that. 
We are very far away from the future where all join hands and sing the Internationale together. But the distance is not infinite.
Does color theory count?
I started drawing digitally some years ago, but my rate of improvement was quite slow, and at one point I quit trying to draw for an entire year due to frustration with my inability to pick up coloring in a single week. What I drew here is by no means top-class, but when I started I never imagined being good enough for even this.
I wish to keep improving this skill forever, but alas, drawing Lenins will not put food on the table. Although I wonder if one day I'll be skilled enough for my drawings to actually do that.
By the way, I wish to rant about outlines for a bit. When I started drawing I initially attempted to replicate an anime-ish style, however, what always stood in the way is the "lineart phase" after the sketch phase. I was never able to get it right, and I always thought it was a waste of time anyway because the sketch itself always looked much more lively, not just that, BUT OUTLINES DON'T EXIST IN REAL LIFE! But hey, at least now I can draw anime girls too, I guess.
Drew this one in November last year, I barely learned how to put color on the digital canvas and I attempted to draw architecture for the first time, the result is asymmetrical, a little off balance, and lacking in detail, but I am still proud of it.
I call myself Diputs, I came across this site one day while searching for some extremely obscure information about Vladimir Lenin on google. After observing it for about 3 months I came to the conclusion that I might have found the best website on the planet, so I decided to finally make an account to participate.
My main hobby is drawing, my main wish is to keep improving at it, but I am still unsure if I should pursue the goal of eventually being skilled enough to commodify it for the sake of income.
In a general sense I am interested in all art forms, be they stories, paintings, music, architecture and so on. Ever since Marxism gave me a holistic framework for understanding the world around me this interest only grew, although now I feel like I am forever cursed to be overly analytic of things that others would find uninteresting. I have a particular soft spot for socialist and socialist-adjacent music, art from the Soviet Union, particular video games and Steins;Gate.
My eternal wish would be to find a time-machine to transport me to the timeline where the USSR successfully united the whole planet. 
I've got 2 questions, firstly, is there an unspoken agreement as to how frequently one can post in a given community?
Secondly, are posters allowed to post their own drawings in the art community? If so, is there an unspoken agreement as to how skilled one must be to do so?
