Here's an App to Try: Shuffles by Pinterest

I would like to show you guys a collage photo I made with Pinterest's increasingly popular new application. The collage photo in the app is called a "shuffle." Here's the first shuffle I made:
There were app users who used the cutouts I created for their own shuffles. My cutouts were taken out of my screenshots from Target's app.

Anyway, this app is called Shuffles by Pinterest, or Shuffles, for short. It's where people get to make collaborative collages using their own photos, or photos from Pinterest. The end products are photos suitable for phone wallpapers.

In my opinion, I think Pinterest succeeds in giving people, like myself, a creative outlet. It's basically a virtual playground that anyone can participate in.

As an autistic person myself, this app does feed my imagination. It helps me think outside the box, and it does incorporate visual stimming due to how interactive the artistic app is.

Download Shuffles by Pinterest on iOS or Android.

KUWC Now Has Substack!

EDIT: I created a separate newsletter for Keeping Up With Cristobal, so my username for my profile is @cristobalmartinez, while the site for Keeping Up With Cristobal newsletters will have a separate subdomain on Substack. Find the KUWC site  here . To my KUWC fans, It's me, Cristobal Martinez. I know I said that this blog started as a current newsletter for my therapist, but I can now share my creative thoughts with ALL of you thanks to Substack! Now, you can subscribe to my Keeping Up With Cristobal newsletters with this  link . My username is @keepingupwithcristobal, since my name appears as a publication name. I'll still write for this blog, and on Medium (if I have the urge), while speak my thoughts on Swell. As for the "newsletters" to my therapist, I'll have to give it a new name: Cristobal's Water-cooler. It's basically me giving personal updates to my therapist. I hope you'll join me on Substack! I'll be happy to live inside your inbox whe...

KUWC Introduction

Hello, everyone! My name is Cristobal Martinez. Welcome to my blog, Keeping Up With Cristobal! It started out as a series of newsletters I sent to my therapist, Alex. Then, it became a podcast that lasted two episodes until I was better off with my podcast on Swell, Cristobal's Thinking Bits . Now, it becomes a blog. Here's a little info of myself: I'm a Chicago-based content creator (filmmaker, writer, podcaster, artist, zinemaker, poet, and playwright), I'm autistic, I'm bisexual, my pronouns are he/him/his, and I'm a first-generation Mexican-American. For my posts within this blog, I'll be offering lifestyle recommendations, thoughts, and experiences. I hope you'll stick around for future posts. Until then, that's it for this post. Here's my socials: Instagram:  @thisiscristobal Pinterest:  @hereiscristobal Medium:  @iamcristobal Linktree:  @thisiscristobal Swellcast:  @cristobalabroad

So It Started Snowing in Chicago...

Image
On November 20th, snow began to fall in my hometown of Chicago. Specifically when night began. I saw through the window in front, it was rather wonderful AND calming. I woke up in the morning of November 21st, seeing that the snowing had continued. Here's how it looked like: I think 3 inches of snow occurred. I think. Anyway, I know for sure it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. I turned on the wax warmer lamp, carried the CD boombox to turn on the radio, and made the living room holiday central  for myself despite the fall/Thanksgiving decor. I highly recommend doing this activity. It truly romanticizes Christmas during November.
