This is my latest drawing in a series based on astrological transits, in this case the recent trine from the Sun in Scorpio to Jupiter in Cancer, part of the ongoing Grand Water Trine that this week's New Moon and Mercury cazimi were part of.

The sigil in the Sun directs us to "Protect Hope."

#Art
A reddish gold king crab stands in an underwater temple between pillars of green marble and bronze, holding the Sun between his claws, standing on a carpet of coral. A sigil in the center of the Sun appears in a shimmer of many thin lines, its light coming down through the blue and aqua waters to illuminate the depths of the sea.

The death rate among children under 5 is expected to grow this year for the first time in the 21st century, researchers say. A key factor, they say, is cuts to U.S. and other foreign aid

Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.

Spring https://www.wikiart.org/en/alphonse-mucha/spring-1896
"Spring" by Alphonse Mucha is a quintessential example of Art Nouveau, characterized by its graceful depiction of a woman surrounded by blooming flowers and flowing lines. This artwork, part of his celebrated seasons series, captures the essence of renewal and beauty with its intricate detailing and harmonious pastel palette.

The image shows a bright, stylized portrait of a singer, rendered in a neon, cyberpunk style. The figure is shown in profile, holding a microphone in her raised hand. The face is depicted in geometric color planes—shades of blue, purple, red, and orange. The eye makeup is dark. The character's clothing looks futuristic: a cape with contrasting red lines and inserts, iridescent blue textures reminiscent of glass or crystal surfaces. The background features deep dark blue tones and bright spots of light.

A small colour drawing of a European robin sitting on a branch surrounded with holly and Ivy. The drawing has a yellow and orange background and is on grey paper. Feisty and iconic. A Christmas favourite and gardener’s best friend. It’s no wonder this little bird is one of Britain’s most-loved birds. An original art work, please note that the frame is not included. Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper 5 by 7 inches (12.7 by 17.8 cm).

Added in the shiny reflections and he is pretty much done. I'd like to touch up certain areas after resting for a bit, but I may as well show him off early.

This is "Regal", a male Australian blue swimmer crab that took nearly 250 hours to paint, spanning over 3 years

The Oak Moon name stems from the significance of the oak tree in Celtic and Druidic traditions. The oak tree's enduring strength through the winter, made it a powerful symbol of resilience and the promise of growth and light returning after the winter solstice.

1859: Abolitionist John Brown is the 1st American executed for treason. His crime? Freeing the enslaved

And the 2nd? Aaron Dwight Stevens, 29yo. Served Brown during the attempted slave revolt at Harpers Ferry, VA

A stark reminder that legality is not always a measure of justice, but power.

Debunking myths about Mother Rosa Parks, an icon of the Civil Rights Movement and (as we knew her growing up) a great Detroiter. 💐
jeannetheoharis.bsky.social Jeanne Theoharis @jeannetheoharis.bsky.social · 6d
Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.
