I create drawings in connection with astrological transits. This one is for the recent Venus/South Node conjunction. It's inspired by one of my favorite films, Hero, & one of my favorite actresses, Maggie Cheung. The sigil in the Moon is to "Leave heartbreak in the past."

#Art #AstroSky #Astrology
A woman in a red hanfu stands in a clearing full of red leaves opposite a hooded figure beneath a nearly full moon, as the wind blows her hair across our view. It stirs the leaves flowing before her, like droplets of blood, as she offers her life experiences to her destiny, releasing what she can no longer carry that she may go forward. There is a spiderweb in the tree over her head. The sigil in the waxing gibbous Moon directs us to "Leave Heartbreak in the Past." The hooded figure in its blood-red cloak holds a moonlight-silvered staff and silently receives the offering. The eyes of some small, hidden creature look out from the nearby tree, the wilderness bearing witness to this dance with fate.

“WIC provides critical nutritious foods, breastfeeding support, infant formula, & access to health screenings & referrals,” said the National WIC Association. “These services are not a luxury; they are a necessary lifeline.”

But Trump thinks his far-right buddy is the one that needs the lifeline.

ICE is fully operational during the shutdown and Argentina’s far-right president is getting $20 billion of our money courtesy Donald Trump, meanwhile US federal workers are furloughed and WIC is about to run out of funding: open.substack.com/pub/americas...

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

It's now considered controversial to fight the KKK in a video game.
Alt text: A tweet from DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) reads: “Ubisoft canceled an ‘ASSASSINS CREED’ game set in the post–Civil War era. • Featured a Black Assassin who was formerly a slave • Players would fight the emerging KKK • Leadership canceled it after concerns with U.S. political climate & Yasuke backlash.” The source link is listed as “gamefile.news/p/scoop-ubisof…”. Below the text are two images side by side: on the left, a hooded Assassin in white and red armor from the Assassin’s Creed series; on the right, the red Assassin’s Creed logo on a plain background. The tweet was posted at 4:11 PM on October 8, 2025, and has 665.8K views.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

#Rhodochrosite 's "Meat rock" victory last year necessitates two #vegetable wins! Why? So we get our MEAT & TWO VEG!

Eat your #veg! You wouldn't eat Rudolph, and blood products are icky. Greens are good for you! Vote for #ForbiddenBroccoli, baked in #ForbiddenPie! 🥦🥧

#MinCup25 #Dioptase *CROMCH*
Dioptase and malachite by Louis Verschuren. From Tsumeb in Namibia. It looks like deep emerald crystals having Forbidden Broccoli growing over the top right side. Something that looks like a slice of some quiche or pie the Brits favour, with the golden brown crust visible more on the right and top of it. Inside it there is as if either the dioptase teal green vegetable filling, or someone having made Forbidden Jelly marmalade of dioptase, and stuffed that inside the pie crust instead. Mmm, pie. Cronch pie. Broccoli-ish looking green Dioptase from Renéville Mine, Kindanba District, Republic of the Congo. Saved from some Singaporean Etsy page. Rhodochrosite or magnesium carbonate that looks like a tiny smoked ham. Browned crust otherwise and sliced bit on the left showing the red meat inside. It's a lot like the crust of the forbidden pie in the previous image. From Sarah A. Hill's Yummy Rocks page, but she didn't know its source either.

Happy 30th birthday to David Bowie's atemporal cyberpunk neonoir murder mystery concept album— an amazingly deft exegesis of the early dream & burgeoning pre-millennial zeitgeist nightmare of the mid-late 90s internet; an album which also somehow proves more prescient by the day.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.

It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.

This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

One issue generally overlooked in the whole screenwriter vs gamewriter, discussion is time.

Beyond anything to do with training, ability, style etc is the amount of time screenwriters get to invest in a script.

Whilst there are time pressures on any writer, the vast amounts of script that-
