There's something about silence I wonder if people ever noticed how fearsome silence actually was. A silence in nature would always lead to a storm, silence in a person leads to fear that something could be wrong, and silence in one's surroundings leads to madness. It was far too late for me to realize such things. Far far too late. I've only come to see that it shouldn't have been darkness and emptiness that should be feared but the blinding white of silence. At least in…

Self destruction Alcohol effects Keywords: ashes, charming, release, people, support, worm They said drinking will be the answer to all my problems. They said it will give you some form of **release**. But why is that, the more I drink, the more I become dissociated with myself. **People** say I need to stop. They say I need. I know I do. My liver will soon rupture with everything I’m doing. Night after night the bottle in my hand starts to feel like it has always been…
Alcohol is inescapable Effects of alcohol Keywords: ashes - charming - release - perplex - support – worm As I’ve come to realize, alcohol is not merely just for drinking on an occasion or drinking to drown one’s sorrows but it’s also a vital component in a majority of food that we consume. It can be found in soy sauces, vinegar, breads made with yeasts and other fermented products. On a molecular view, we can see that alcohol molecules can bind with both fats and water,…
What lies in the brain https://youtu.be/esPRsT-lmw8 I remember watching this for a biochemistry lecture on proteins and lipids since the brain mostly consists of those but as i watched the video, it got me thinking, the brain truly is a neglected organ. Sure we say get enough sleep, eat healthy foods and enough sugar to sustain the brain but what about when it gets damaged? When people experience mental and psychological disorders? As someone whose checked with a…
There's a serious lack of science based communities and content 😥 it would be nice to see more
Quick sketches For today, due to a lack of ideas, I'd like to show how I usually sketch hair. Sketching hair requires a lot of attention towards the texture of the strands, the direction of your strokes and at the same time, the lighting. I think mastering how to draw hair is one of the best ways to improve shading and understanding how lighting works. Plus it's easier to draw since it has fewer elements than the typical frontal portrait I'm at the point where i just pen…
I uh.. wanted to give this a try since I've been using this site for a while now and I've had two pay outs from here already so i was hoping you guys would try it too? It's a bitcoin cloud mining site. I use it since i can't mine with my gadgets again out of the risk of breaking them again :"" https://m.multimining.website/signup?referral=131661
WIP on watercolor Today my sibling kept bugging me to teach her how to use water colors. After much annoyance and begging on her side, I decided to just teach and make a piece as well. It's not done yet but for this, I used those cheap block water color you find in stores So whenever i do watercolors, I always go layer by layer. For the lotus, I started off with peach, which will be the base color. It's really light and blends well with all shades of red Then I added pink,…
Feels like i turned my profile into an art exhibit of sorts
WIP in completion So from what I managed to finish yesterday, I'll now be showing how I completed the remaining details. This is how I started the flower off with https://read.cash/@Hanzell/wip-on-watercolor-ea242d84 Then in this segment, I would like to show how I made the surrounding water and leaves/ lilypads around it. In the watercolor kit I used, the only available shades of green available was like an alien colored green and a yellow-green shade. Those are what I used…
It's raining again and it's still adorable how my dogs get startled by the thunder. They get super clingy and keep close to me as much as possible
What animals see Have you ever wondered what animals and insects see? A majority of these groups have visions bound by one color or can only see a certain range of colors. Humans are pretty lucky to be able to see the full range of the visible spectra because the photo receptors in our eyes contain around 6 million cones. These cones make it possible for us to see colors. In the case of animals, however, what they can see varies with the number of cones and rods available in…
Timed sketching I had promised @Baij that I would be showing her something when she got back from her group sharing, but the thing is,I fell asleep heh. And had stuff to do so when I finally finished everything I needed to do, I sat myself down and began sketching to keep my promise:") I'm not a fan of quick or timed sketches but I had friends in high school who always timed me and made me draw faster each time. I know my approach to making portraits may be different than…
Chemistry for the day: Eating alcohol? Many of us came to now alcohol mainly as just the alcoholic drink. Of course that’s only normal to assume given their main ingredient but did you know you also eat alcohol on a daily basis? You see, alcohol is found in more food than you can imagine. I’m not just talking about those recipes that call for alcohol in their ingredients lists but naturally occurring alcohol as well, those found in your fermented foods, in your fruits, in…
After having checked the stats, i saw that the point to usd exchange in read.cash was at a low, which explained why the usual 300 points reaching 1usd is not true now. I couldn't get a close up on mobile about the current point to usd exchange but it seemed like it was at 0.0025-0.0027usd per point?
Thank you As the title says, I'd like to offer my thanks and appreciation to the people who have made my time here worthwhile! It's only been 3 weeks since I joined and I never imagined I'd favor it here than any of my social media accounts any day. In those 3 weeks i never would have imagined that I'd be getting sponsors and that many people who would subscribe to me. It's an honor because I definitely have my weird times so @Dangerous_Fly , @scottcbusiness , @Secure…
The mystery of my missing funds OnO
Understanding the stats I see a lot of questions regarding the points and with why the equivalent is low so I wanted to give light to the stats section of the website and hope that it helps people understand it and the site better. But this is entirely based on how I see and interpret it. So right now we are at 8,933 users in the site. A big achievement, yes! but there's more to that. Of the number of users, 125 of those were just from yesterday and it will continue to…
EXTRA! EXTRA~! @Dangerous_Fly is willing to share $1 to 100 people~! So hurry while you still can (OwO') You can check that out here https://read.cash/c/any-post-are-allowed-c2a0/post-333e6c7d
What I've come to love about read.cash now is the constant improvement. Not just on the platform but also with the quality of contents that go through here. Plus the people in the community itself are all nice and try to help each other out. It's not like social media where all i basically see is toxicity Another things is that you really learn a lot here and that really helps one grow when they adapt to what they learn So that's my entry ^-^…
Gundams!!!!! Hello!!! I've returned from a rather lazy day and I decided on a change from my usual content. So in the past few days, my man has been showing me the progress he's been making on both his custom gundam as well as putting on details on another gundam. I love it when he does this because it makes me think that my opinion matters, specially since we both ended up seeing gundam as a form of art now. Anyways, I'm proud of how much he's improved in just 7 months…
My side of the sky I can't describe in full details what joy watching the sunset brings. The child in me still gets amazed at the sight of the transitioning colors that shift from the softest hues of orange up to the upcoming darkness of the evening sky. It didn't matter what activity I had, as long as I knew it was time, I would rush to the roof and sit there for a while just to gaze up at the warmth the sky seemed to envelop me in. At times I would lie in wait for it when…
How should i go about starting an art exhibit in this pandemic
Chemistry for the day: Fingerprints So I'm back to being a nerd and for today, I'd like to share my fascination with a bit of forensics, or at least a portion of it. Fingerprint detection is one of the most sought after piece of evidences in crime scenes besides the actual weapon used for assault, and of course, more concrete biological evidences. What makes it all the more fascinating is that these print can tell more about the perpetrator and of the nature of the crime. So…
The silence today is so new to me
I've got a feeling that my notifs will blow up when the notifs return to normal again
Quick sketch 2 It's been a while since I last showed one of my sketches. And will probably be a while due to the sudden change in my thesis defense schedule which was moved to the first week of August. Now I'm freaking out but I still managed to do this before starting on editing my manuscript again. I hope you guys enjoy this So this is my reference photo. I stumbled upon it while I was looking through tumblr. I'm not a fan of dolls, really but this one was really pretty…
Lessons from chemistry Hellooo! I'm back with more chemistry to give you people! But this will be on a different view. So people always think that chemistry is nothing but remembering the periodic table and about being good at math. But then there's far more to that. The discipline is actually a good reminder of a few things in life, specially about people. From the simplicity of sharing (covalent bonds) and the fact that some people survive in a give and take environment…

Our time at the pier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un3ZMgVBI7s For a change of mood and maybe a change of mood in how I would approach the image. Wrote on MS word and did not edit, again, except for some typos. **Start!** Piers were something I could count as places that held many secrets. From the whines of teens and drunks to the sobs and hopelessness of people who were close to giving up on life and were willing to offer themselves to the waters that surrounded the…
Hello! I was hoping you guys could give me suggestions on what to draw next? So that when i can draw again, i can do those. Brain is fixated on finishing papers at the moment. Thank you ^-^
I dislike pastel colors pt. 1 I was positive I could resist drawing something for a few days but my sisters drawing in front of me was the biggest temptation of my day. So I took an hour off from my paper to teach her pastels while I tried to make something with it despite how much I dislike this medium so much Time start: 10:32 pm Time End: 11:33pm The thing with working with this medium is that it works the opposite from most mediums wgere you start with light colors.…
I dislike pastels pt. 2 I didn't give myself enough time today. I only managed to finish this based on how I saw it fit and how it looked complete since I didn't really have a reference photo this time, I just wanted to draw lights. Made me think that i should have drawn a candle instead 😂 Anyways, this was the end result and now I was reminded of how bad I work with pastel. I do better with crayons because at least those don't blend so much- Happy that my hands aren't that…
Chemistry for the day: Pineapples eat you back As we ate pineapples as a snack, one of my sisters kept complaining how her tongue hurt so much after eating pineapples so being as the nerd I am, I went on and explained why that happened and why that didn't happen when we ate the canned ones or in juices. I actually consider pineapples as hardcore fruits because they "eat you back" as we jokingly say back in the laboratory. But in reality, there's this specific enzyme inside…
Making banana heart burgers I wanted to try something different from what I usually did again so I thought I'd share a dish that I feed my sisters since they used to dislike eating vegetables so much. So recently I made banana heart burger patties. Those are pretty cheap here and it acts like a meat substitute for this dish The things needed are Banana heart, any size works, actually. I use the big ones mostly so I can make a lot A head of garlic and a bulb of onion because…

A small gift It's been a while since the last time I got to sketch properly in days. The majority of my day was spent on sleeping and trying to get rid of a massive hangover. Anyways, I return to fulfill my promise to someone. @Mars_byahera , I recall that you wanted me to sketch you but I focused on other things like my papers XD This is a small gift from me as thanks for letting me sponsor you and for making my day with your adventures that you share here. I'm kinda sorry…
Chemistry for the day: Kojic acid vs. Glutathione Vs. Collagen Based on the title, the three mentioned compounds are among the most popular active components in a number of beauty products that are used both internally (as pills and supplements, I count IV drips as internal use) and externally (like soaps, creams, lotions, scrubs, etc.). Sure we use these a lot based on advertisements and even on reviews but then do we really know what they specifically do to our body and…

What are your thoughts on getting infected with covid-19? Since a majority of healthcare workers are slowly giving up on their fights and some even recommend contracting the virus to naturally develop antibodies for it since the most that would happen to a healthy person is an asymptomatic case or just mild symptoms. Plus those that do go into critical conditions are usually ones that carry comorbidities and/or have a really weak immune system. Getting infected doesn't seem…
I think having the system detect me as part of an upvote group is a sign that i should really focus on my papers and finish them by this week 😂😂😂😂 but then, not like i still wouldn't pop up here every day. I still have a lot of weird to spread ^-^
I think I used up all my brain cells for today yet I'm still nowhere near half of my manuscript 😭😭😭😭😭 please donate brain cells and sweets to this child And I've been dying to draw too but that would take up too much time. Grrrr
Playing with ink I got to draw again! I'm not really done with it yet since I only give myself 2 hours to draw these days because I've been quite busy ;-; I've been itching to draw since yesterday. And today I just couldn't help myself. I decided to post this sooner then sleep before a certain someone catches me still awake ;-; So here goes! For this random sketch, I decided to make a fanart of alastor from hazbin hotel. I loved the pilot episode but it's sad that the…
Wings gundam variations I am positive that this should be in an anime community but I have no idea Anyways... I wanted to show @hamedbkh the different Wings gundam variations in figure form and why I think this one is my favorite figure. Hope you enjoy me fangirling on about this beauty From here on out, it's all beautiful customs my bf showed me :') That's all from me on my mini spazzing post! I hope people get too appreciate these kits as a form of art too because why not!…
Alastor of Hazbin Hotel I don't think I'll ever get to finish this one due to not being able to go out to buy the same colored pen so I'll just post it as is now. This is Alastor of Hazbin Hotel. One of ots main characters and.. presumably the villain? I was never sure because the series never continued but I'm still promoting in the case that if the pilot episode gets more views then maybe they'll continue with the animation. Anyways, he's called the radio demon. The man…
At times it feels like I'm falling into depravity again. Specially in times when I think everything is going well. Why does the calm before the storm always hold true? Why do people become this selfish? Is selfishness your idea on the road to happiness? Is blaming those who originally supported and tended to you the only thing you know now? If so then sure. I'd gladly hope from the bottom of my heart that I was never born too.
Quick sketch 3 I am back! And I gave myself 2 hours to sketch again instead of allotting that to my papers 😂 but since this day was way too stressful, I think I deserve sketching time at least. This time, I want to fulfill what I told @marcmire about giving life to one of his texts. It was hard to choose from because all of them gave clear images in my head and I wanted to justify the passages properly if I ever did sketch them. In the end, I decided on River of Styx which…
It's been one bad day after the other. First my dad leaves us, next my aunt dies. Just what-
Which came first? the chicken or the egg? This question is probably one of the most asked trick question to ever exist and is still in use even today. It's that timeless question of: "Which came first? The chicken or the egg?" In actuality, there are multiple ways to answer that question. From the biblical perspective, people will always say it's the chicken because a God created creatures as adults to procreate, thus why an egg will never come first. From a smarty pants'…
Solar panels as windows??? I’m not sure if this already got news globally or not but I really wanted to share this more in hopes of it getting more attention So I’ve always been a fan of solar panels since they provide way more benefits now more than ever since aside from giving yourself the freedom from electric companies who still heavily rely on petroleum or even nuclear energy to use as an energy source, this alternative would be great for having a decentralized form of…
My man finally decided to that we need a date (mostly because he needs help with make up stuff. He joined a gender bender make up competition >w< ) and i am too excited for this-- ahhh i can see him tomorrow! I can play with make up with him agaiinnn >w< AAAHHHHH
Such a successful thesis online presentation omg! 😁😁😁 this makes me happy! Now only the Q&A to face next week and my revised manuscript to do!
From waste to medicine In light of today's successful event, I thought of sharing my research here and hope that it would interest you as it interested me to pursue it So I know all of us consume fast foods, either as daily meals or as celebratory ones. And I know that oil is a common household item too. Cooking oil is useful, yeah but then did you ever wondered what happened after it's used? when it's all black and burnt? well usually it will be thrown to waste. That's the…

Successful date has come to an end ^-^ hehehehe it was really amazing. A crossdressing boi will be coming up soon >w<
It started with a match I gained permission to post after finding out that he was curious about what I've thought of our journey together so far. That's why I'll be writing this based on summarized notes i kept in my journal February, 2019 We first met in a dating site. He was a unique character among them. Openly lewd and very straightforward. I liked it. 2 weeks passed by and I found out he had clinical depression. I still persisted to bug him, remind him that he just…
His big switch Yesterday I was talking about going on a date and how I made my man crossdress for this um.. competition? I'm not sure what it should be called but at least it was enough an excuse for a date 😊 In light of the short time we had together I hope you guys will enjoy this video we made and maybe 👉👈 if you could um.. react? Because we're both not sure if that adds as a factor in this but since it's a public post then it was worth a shot…

Flash fiction challenge: Rejection I never could have imagined myself being like this as a child, but as I grew older I came to trash the idea that love only existed between male and female. Never had I been so wrong in my life. Around the age of 15, I first found attraction with a girl. She was everything I never was and everything I wanted to be. Perhaps it was just jealousy, my mind whispered to myself, perhaps I just wanted to be popular as well but it didn't seem the…

I wonder what happens next. This silence is quite terrifying
A hopeful change I'm aware that I'm in no position to be saying this, nor am I denying the fact that I tried to get sponsors and join the small contests held in read cash. I still do, specially with the flash picture prompt one set by @feebie. That one, I think is fine because it helps improve creativity and the quality in a user's writing. Even the writing prompt @wakeupkitty held, that one was good too. Those kinds of contests really showed how much we can improve the…

Old art journal With the start of the rainy seasons here plus the recent events that happened here, it gave me time to start cleaning my shelves again... I wanted to remove some of the items I kept as reminders from when I was down... I found my old art journal. It was originally a book I soaked in brown ink for reasons being that I hated that book so much. I'm definitely not a fan of cringey teen fictions written in my native dialect and that, for me, was a good enough…
