My first post after a long time💫

One of my goals for this year is to continue to post regularly. Firstly, I want to talk about my experiences in 2024. I'm accepted to architectural restoration master program.  I moved to another city for this program. Rightnow I take English preparatory lessons. It was a nice and successful fall term. I'll take English lessons in the spring semester, too. Next year my department courses will start. I hope this year will be the most beautiful, productive, peaceful and healthy 🥰

A simple instruction can yield many, many different results. 

I like to think that most complex systems are built iteratively upon very simple laws.

Une simple instruction peut aboutir à une myriade de résultats distincts.

J'aime à penser que les systèmes les plus complexes sont basés sur l'itération de lois triviales.

This was supposed to be a sketch but it’s turning into a full blown study.

Progress pic from the sketchbook.

Keep your fingers crossed because I really don’t want to ruin it (to put it politely).

Greg Owen at LGBTQ Nation:

A Christian school in Tennessee has barred a student from campus and all school events, including her own graduation ceremony, because she came out as gay. The school has since backtracked on its threat to withhold her diploma since the story got media attention. Morgan Armstrong, a senior at Tennessee Christian Preparatory School in Cleveland, came out in April in a post to her social media accounts. The teen uploaded a collection of photos with her girlfriend and a caption that read, “Cats outta the bag,” along with a rainbow emoji. Looking for some preemptive support, Morgan messaged several friends asking them to like the post. “Go and comment on my post, I have some ruthless Trump supporting ‘jesus’ mfs on there,” Armstrong wrote in the private message. Soon after, Armstrong’s family got a message from the school, summoning them to a meeting.  “Saying they wanted to talk to me about a post, I figured it was the social media post that I’d posted about my girlfriend,” Armstrong told WSVM News in Nashville. What happened next blindsided the teen. In the meeting with principal Kylie Machacek and head of schools Jared Tilley, Armstrong and her father were presented with a letter from the school describing a patently false version of her coming out story.

The letter read, “Morgan posted on social media platforms, such as Instagram, a disparaging remark, reflecting the people at Tennessee Christian. The vulgar and disrespectful comment produced the wrong perception of who Tennessee Christian is and what we represent, Christ. The comment reflected on the institution, faculty, staff, alumni and students in the most negative possible way.” The letter included a photo of the private message Armstrong sent to friends about the “ruthless Trump supporting ‘jesus’ mfs.” The letter went on to say that Armstrong was banned from campus, all school events, and the school’s commencement ceremony. The school also threatened the senior with more punitive actions: “Morgan will not comment about the school or people associated with the school. If online slander continues, records of posts and messages will be forwarded to colleges and universities as part of a comprehensive student file.” “If the above are not adhered to, Morgan Armstrong’s diploma will be withheld.” The school also threatened to share her social media posts with colleges if she continued to “slander” them. Said Armstrong’s mother, Monica: “I was shocked and then I went to anger.”   Her daughter said it was “nerve-wracking” enough just to come out. “I knew everyone would have different opinions, some would like it, some would hate it,” she said. But she had no idea she would be kicked out of school for coming out — based on an inexplicable lie. Given that, the family decided to sue Tennessee Christian Prep. “Morgan did not write anything about the school at any time,” said Daniel Horwitz, the Armstrongs’ attorney. “She didn’t post anything about the school, and the private message was not about the school.”

According to the family’s lawsuit filed Monday, first-time social media violations should result in just a one-day school suspension, as defined in the student handbook. That is, if her coming-out post was, in fact, a violation of school policy. As to disparaging the school publicly or privately, it didn’t happen. The “ruthless Trump supporting ‘jesus’ mfs,” she contends, were family members and had nothing to do with the school.

Tennessee Christian Preparatory School student Morgan Armstrong got barred from campus and all school events due to her post on coming out as a lesbian and her “ruthless Trump supporting ‘jesus’ mfs on there” private message. The school threatened to withhold her diploma.
