If you donโ€™t believe in miracles and have been following my wifeโ€™s journey/fight with stage 4 cancer, please read thisโ€ฆ Yesterday, we went in for her first PET scan (the scan that lights up anywhere where cancer is active in the body) since her initial one back in November. The original scan lit up like a Christmas tree with spots in her lungs, liver, back, pelvis and thigh, classified as stage 4 adenocarcinoma that had spread even to the brain. Needless to say, the initial prognosis is not good regardless of the person with that advanced cancer. Most people will hear โ€œyou have 2-3 years left to liveโ€ Even though thatโ€™s exactly what we were told, we didnโ€™t let it phase us, bc itโ€™s just an opinion and not fact. We changed our diets (I use our in these sentences bc I changed everything to match her so we could fight as a team), cut out sugar and carbs almost completely, did our research into the holistic side of treatments available and went full on battle mode against the cancer that was trying to take something beautiful and turn it into negative. We asked for prayers from anyone and everyone bc God is bigger than cancer. He has the ability to heal us without any treatments at all. He made the lame walk and the blind see. So, we knew He could heal her if that was in His plan. We prayed hard, even though at times it seemed unfair for her to be going through this. She was put on 3 different chemo regimens before they found the primary origin of the cancer. Once they found that, she was put on a targeted treatment with immunotherapy. We received the results of her PET scan yesterday but werenโ€™t able to see our oncologist until this morning. And she confirmedโ€ฆโ€ฆ THERE IS NO ACTIVE CANCER in her entire body!!! We are in shock! GOD IS GREAT!!! We will continue treatments as cancer can come back quick, but for today, we thank each and every one of you that prayed for us, reached out, added her to your churches prayer list and just checked in on us. No words could ever express how thankful we are for each and every one of you. We are in tears, but they are tears of joy.. Thank you ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ Cancer didnโ€™t win.

Dear Artists, Iโ€™m writing this because every time one of us dares to say something isnโ€™t working, weโ€™re immediately expected to deliver a full constitutional reform of the NFT world. Preferably in a polished PDF, with charts, budgets, timelines, and a 12โ€‘month recovery plan. Meanwhile, all weโ€™re actually doing is pointing out that something is wrong. Thatโ€™s the first step toward any change. But instead of a conversation, we get the same tired line: โ€œThen show us the plan.โ€ As if noticing a problem were a crime, and not the beginning of progress. So yesโ€ฆ I keep repeating, stubbornly, that change is needed. And then I open my feed and see sarcastic posts from perfectly satisfied artists mocking anyone who speaks up. โ€œThose who complain should present a plan.โ€ And just like that, our voices get dismissed again. Sometimes it feels like speaking up is treated the same as farting in a sealed room. First, everyone pretends nothing happened. Then they avoid you because you โ€œsmellโ€. Other artists donโ€™t want to interact with you, terrified the โ€œodorโ€ might rub off on them. But honestly? Iโ€™d rather smell like a rotten egg than pretend the vibe is amazing when it clearly isnโ€™t. Iโ€™m writing this because artists have the right to say when something is off. And if anything is ever going to change, it wonโ€™t happen by staying silent to keep the room smelling nice. Sincerely, The forever complaining one, with no plan, but with eyes wide open
