{"post":"Welcome to Between The Lines (BTL), a live call and response online show where artists respond to artists. On February 28, we will be sharing our poems on \"Being Human,” a prompt posed to us by Ian McKenzie, our Guest Response Artist.
Community Guidelines:
-Participants must sign-up each week: only hosts, guest artists, response artists and audience members who are registered will be admitted.

Because this is a response event, participants who arrive on time will be invited to read and our guest poet will respond to each poem offered. Those coming into our space after our guest begins may join us as a member of our interactive audience.
-Up to 4-Minute (Poems including introduction and comments): After 4 minutes, you will be muted and the next artist will be invited to share their response.
-18 years or older: This is a space for adults 18 years or older where some of the themes explored may include mature content and themes including the use of expletives, social justice issues and sensual descriptive language. No hate speech will be condoned in performance nor within the chat will be tolerated. If that is happening, please alert your host who will address the concern immediately.
-This is a live show and the recording will be aired on YouTube and shared on social media.

{"post":"Hey there everyone

I really loved the opening comments on my last post so I thought I'd leave another art piece image below and talk some about my inspiration behind the drawing.
This piece was started in late October 2022 and completed December 21,2022. It was done for my husband as a Christmas gift. The drawing takes the viewers on a cross country road map of everything that has happened in my life with my husband from getting engaged and married to pulling thru isolation and him supporting me thru a massive self harm problem two years ago that nearly cost me my life.
In doing the drawing I hadn't realized there were quite so many things I wanted to draw \"about\" like drawing is somehow like writing a story but that's what I hope for at the end of the day... that when my audience looks at my work, to them it's like reading a book"}

Net Energy “Gain” or Hot Fusion Hype?

https:\/\/www.resonancescience.org\/blog\/net-energy-gain-hot-fusion-hype"}

Ray Carpino Excellent article. I loved reading it. But wouldn’t the findings that they can actually get a net positive reaction tend to make you think that if they could upscale it, it could be self sustaining at some point. Like, maybe these things just need a colossal energy input before they turn nuclear…. I don’t know. It feels like we’re spending an awful lot of money on that research when we have real problems in America.
