───────────────────────

‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌I don't visit this site as much as I used to. ‌ But this was my first experience with social media, back when I joined in 2003, so it means a lot to me on some deeper levels. ‌ My art is mostly photography, but I have also made scripts and CSS styles in the past, and I'm currently really into building things—wooden puzzles, wall hangings, or practical things like speakers. ‌ I spend a lot of time chatting here, and you can find me in devart and seniors (I left those here since technically chatting still exists, even if the staff ignore it, lol.) ‌ I also have my own personal chat room, electronicjonny, and I recently made a room called RecoveringArtists which is designed for people in recovery from addiction (drugs or alcohol or whatever it might be. But due to the stupid policy of removing rooms after no activity for 3 months or whatever, those rooms are no longer here. Again, the staff ignore a lot of what I love about this site.)

‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌My real name is Jonathan Spence, but I go by Jon. ‌ I'm currently living in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and work as a cleaner at the well-known restaurant, Zingerman's. ‌ I'm also a person living in recovery from being addicted to alcohol, and have been sober since November 27ᵗʰ, 2016. ‌ I bike everywhere (cars are EXPENSIVE!) and really like electronics and computers and other technical things.

The Program

If you have the chance, please check out this docuseries titled "The Program: Cons, Cults and Kidnapping" on Netflix.‌ ‌‌ It's about a "school" in upstate New York that advertised itself as "a Boarding School for the Future, offers unique features and qualities that provide a perfect fit for many families." [to quote their website which has since been archived]. ‌ But in reality, it was an unregulated place of torture: children weren't able to talk, look around, express themselves, or much of anything — even looking out the window was considered making plans of escape. ‌ They were beaten, restrained, abused, assaulted, molested, forced to eat, and whatever else the administration wanted.‌ ‌‌ I wasn't there, but my sister was. ‌ Me and my family visited her at the end of 2004, and on the surface, it seemed reasonable. ‌ But I could tell that what I saw was just a very fragile shell of lies; the people there were broken souls who couldn't say or express anything for fear of the

As they say: desperate times call for desperate measures. I finished this today, and was inspired by a similar image that read: ‌ In case of interstellar travel Break glass and don't panic
