To expand the Opinions & Truth (O&T) blog, I started The Weekend Game Show (WGS) to educate on and discuss game development, to show why video games can take years to make, and to prevent another Cyberpunk 2077 launch scenario. My videos are available on Twitch, YouTube, The Titans' Discord, Steam, Rumble, and Odysee!

In addition, to provide educational material for game designers and artists, and some fun reads, I created a bookshop, powered by Bookshop.org, the Rendezvous Point (RP)! Check it out here!

Also, I share educational quotes to promote literacy, the legitimacy of video games as an artistic medium, and regarding a Cause of the Month to raise awareness, while giving Artist Shout-Outs to human artists to combat AI's spit. Want to learn more about the Artist Shout-Outs? Click here! #createdontscrape

The Artists Shout-Out posts can be seen here, Discord, and more!

Lastly, I'm an artist under the handle TitansMonriArt.

During this National Adoption Awareness Month, we are highlighting a few of the many adoptees who have publicly shared their informed perspectives. We are grateful for their voices, and we continue to learn so much from each of them. Visit https://aprildinwoodie.com/ to hear more.

I’m an international adoptee from Eger, Hungary. My original birth certificate is still in Hungary and I am not allowed to have access to it. It will remain sealed. This is common among closed & international adoptions to protect the *identity* of birth parents. Is this fair to adoptees?

Transcending Loss and Disconnection.

How the Tibetan Book of the Dead provides insight for Adoptees.

The Tibetan Book of the Dead is an ancient text that has been used for centuries as a guide for the soul during the process of dying and the afterlife. The text is traditionally read aloud to the dying person and is also used in funeral ceremonies. It teaches about the bardos, which are intermediate states between death and rebirth.

It could be said that Adoptees transition through two(2) full sets of bardos. One before/after/between lives, and one “during THIS lifetime” which is something no other being faces.

The bardos, as described in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, can be seen as a metaphor for the adoptee experience. Adoptees may feel that they are in a state of constant transition and change as they navigate the unknown landscape of their adoption. They may feel a sense of disconnection from their birth families and cultures, and may struggle with issues of identity, belonging, and self-worth. The teachings of the text can offer comfort and validation for adoptees as they navigate their own journey of self-discovery and understanding.

“ Surviving out of spite.”

Happy birthday to my son who I gladly share a birthday with in November. Everyone needs a Shepard in their lives. Forget solar power or nuclear power, Shep has an endless supply of energy. He’s curious and stubborn like me. God knew we needed you Shep even before the foundation of the world. We said yes when we got the call and we have been so blessed to be your parents through it all. I can’t remember our lives before you and can’t imagine our lives without you. So grateful for foster care and adoption. I’m so glad that God made you, YOU. Love you my son.

Not your usual Valentine’s Day post… Today is bittersweet for me. Whilst I love any excuse to celebrate love, it’s also my birth mother’s birthday. (Or so I’ve been told) So every day, I think of her. A woman that had the strength and courage to give me up for a better life. And yet I’ve experienced so many feeling of anger and abandonment over the years. Knowing I could never give my little ones up. I would never have the strength to make that sacrifice. And I’m so grateful for the life I’ve been gifted. My family now is everything. I have everything. And I wouldn’t change it for anything, because I got to meet my Bebe @loveandlegends, and if you know him you know the kind of man he is. We have been through the darkest nights and the lightest days together and I love you. I love you more than anything. Plus we made the best two kiddos ever. So today, I am not just honouring love between lovers. I’m holding love between loved ones strong in my heart. Especially the ones who I never got the chance to experience love with. Who can you love and honour today?

#GUILTY on all charges! Second degree murder: GUILTY! Third degree murder: GUILTY! Second degree manslaughter: GUILTY! A verdict that is a sign of hope for the future.

Bedtime cuddles! 🥰 My husband's been away for a few days and found it hard to peel himself away from the children at bedtime. Had to tell him to stop being so fun, so they will go to sleep!

Check out this beautiful adoption tattoo done by @katinthetat ! Did you know that no more than 2% of Americans have actually adopted, however more than 1/3 have considered it? This particular tattoo was done for a client very near the year mark of adopting his son (now nearly 4 years old). Do you have an adoption story or experience ? #adoptionawareness #adoptiontattoo #choosetobeaparent #dnatattoo #geometricart #katinthetat #realistichearttattoo #ventricles #whiteribbon (at Colt's Timeless Tattoos) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7FEqBcDDgW/?igshid=gjdacwd5gumi

Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have. Margaret Mead The reality is that in our “great” state there are children who are displaced from what they know as “home” and family. And the reasons are numerous and no case is the same but there’s is a common thread woven in each story and that is a need for belonging and safety. That’s where hopefully you can help. Fostering isn’t for everyone but everyone can make a difference. Each case goal is to reunify the family if that is possible and safe however a HUGE percentage end up needing to be adopted. That’s hard, very hard and that is the tragedy of the fall of man and sin. I believe every child needs a home, how about you? #fostercare #fosteringsaveslives #foster #fosterfamily #adoption #james127 #grace #mercy #hope #family #novembernationaladoptionmonth #adoptionawareness #jesus #gospel https://www.instagram.com/p/CW3F8O6sajm/?utm_medium=tumblr
