Hello everyone, and welcome to The Stanley Garland Citizen! This week has been a whirlwind of activity, and I wanted to share some exciting updates with you all.

First off, last Saturday I had the opportunity to witness and report on a powerful display of community spirit right here in Federal Way. Over 730 protesters lined the busy intersection of South 320th Street and Pacific Highway South for a rally titled “Federal Way Fights Back!” This demonstration was in response to perceived threats to funding impacting critical areas, the current economic downturn, and perceived judicial attacks on rights. The energy and passion of the attendees, holding signs with messages like “HANDS OFF! CANCER RESEARCH” and “HANDS OFF OUR SCHOOLS,” were truly inspiring. I had the privilege of covering this event and writing a story about it, capturing the collective voice of equal people protesting. You can find my full report and see more details here: https://stanbeyond.net/2025/04/federal-way-fights-back-over-700-individuals-attend-rally-against-perceived-attacks-on-funding-and-rights. a healthy society must engage in these kinds of dialogues, and I’m proud to have been there to document this important moment in our community.

On a more personal note, I’m absolutely thrilled to announce the release of my very first book: “Veridian Sight – VOL.1 ; The Product of Evolution”! This has been a labor of love, and I’m incredibly excited to finally share it with the world through The Stanley Garland Citizen. It’s a project born from countless hours of brainstorming, writing, and refining, exploring the fascinating concept hinted at in the title. You can learn more about “Veridian Sight – VOL.1” and dive into the story here: https://stanbeyond.net/2025/04/veridian-sight-vol-1-the-product-of-evolution. I’d love to hear your thoughts once you’ve had a chance to check it out!

Finally, representing Duality Beyond Studios, we’re gearing up for an exciting trip to Revision 2025! This renowned demoscene event takes place from April 18th to April 21st, and we’re eager to showcase some of the amazing work we’ve been doing on Beyond Frontiers and a special project we are making just for Revision. Our appearance at Revision 2025 is a fantastic opportunity to connect with other talented creators and share our passion for pushing the boundaries of digital art and technology. We’re especially excited as Beyond Frontiers was recently featured in PCGamer Magazine. We’ll be sure to share updates from the event, so stay tuned!

It’s been a busy but incredibly rewarding time, and I’m grateful to be able to share these experiences with you through The Stanley Garland Citizen. Whether it’s reporting on important community events, unleashing creative projects into the world, or participating in the vibrant digital art scene, I aim to bring you diverse and engaging content.
