8: New moon, solar eclipse; moon from south to north of the ecliptic; mercury moon conjunction

A solar eclipse , shadowing, from on a planet occurs when a moon is between a star and said planet. A total socal eclipse is when the alignment of a moon and a star is such that said moon completely blocks out the sun. The reason why this is a total is it is a new moon while also crossing the ecliptic, which is the path of the sun in the earth's sky.

tiktok reality

_{I commented to the video below}

exactly, in my memory, tiktok is the first social media website not owned in the usa to have a dominant share of usa traffic. I can't think of any other website that wasn't usa owned with such a presence in the usa. The internet isn't the usa's, but the usa wants all major social websites to be owned in the usa or by the usa's allies.

Screenplays with thoughts from William Shatner aside

I provide my thoughts on screenplays or stageplays utilizing William Shatner's response to an interview with another as support.

Cute library from writeddreams2reality

QOTD: In your opinion, what is the cutest baby animal?
Very difficult, I have seen many cute babies:)  I will say, the cutest baby that will turn into a very dangerous adult, is the baby crocodile/alligator. as babies they can fit in the palm of your hand, so tiny. and very cute. big eyes. 
 
QOTD: What is your favorite animal?
I will go unrealistic. While I am a sable eye fan. My favorite pokemon that goes into this realm of cute baby is Milotic. In its "baby" form as a Feebas it look like a sick fish. Who would want to eat that? who would dare? but when it "grows up" into a Milotic, it is lovely.

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, wherever you are reading.

Welcome to the 21st edition of the 2023 Richard Murray Newsletter. A discussion between black authors on science fiction subgenres hosted by Thistle and Verse with Yvette Lisa Ndlovu , Celestine Martin , Abriana Tuller. IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR: Black Chibi from Briana Lawrence, The Impressions Three The Hard Way Theme, Sarah Bernhardt Hamlet.

Someone asked: "What do you consider your main goal as an artist or art appreciator?"

The following was my answer

I will start with art appreciator. My main goal as an art appreciator is to spread the work of my fellow artists. It is that simple. In my various online places, I share the work of drawers/writers/photographers/videographers/ or other artist. I can't dictate, guarantee, or control at the moment if a work i share or discuss will lead to greater fortunes for the artist who created it. As in the same way very few of whom can appreciate my work can dictate, guarantee, or control any fortune to me based on my art. The reality is, in modernity, those who have huge followings, or globally famous, do have the ability to guarantee some level of fortune to any artist by appreciating their work publicly. Even if the appreciation is negative. I can't tell you how many writers were aided because someone famous publicly spoke of their book, positively or negatively. The best negative example is what some have called the worst movie ever. Is that fair to all artists? no. Does that make appreciating from someone in my current standing, popularity wise, irrelevant? no. But, financially, art appreciation is related to the appreciator. If the medici's or other wealthy clans of italy chose other artist we would not know michelangelo or leonardo or similar; or, their work will not be for fortunes at auction as you read this. Having said that, all appreciation is valuable to the labor of an artist. Why? The value has two parts and a third potential. First, it provides an artist with the ability to say someone is noticing my work, in whatever way. For example, I had people call my writing crap in public, in my presence. That is ok. They had to read it and in choosing to do so, they spent time that they were not forced to engaging in my work, which is a small part of a humongous set of works, and that feels good. Second, the publicity of appreciation allows the potential of the stranger who goes by it. Whether online publicly or in a small private group. Even if the appreciator speaks total negatives to a work of art, that doesn't mean those that interact to their appreciation have to come to the same conclusion. One of them may find in said art work , xanadu.

I present as an accompaniment to this point, a story in video form from , the great in my opinion, Ray Bradbury

The third potential value is when someone likes your work vibrantly. It isn't guaranteed and isn't warranted or needed all the time, but no artist hates when someone says, what you made is beautiful, and that positivity sharing plus growth is simply good.

As for my main goal as an artist:)well, the first thing I must answer is if I was financially wealthy, would I still be creating? The answer is yes. I have been creating my whole life. More gold than all in Erebor, will not change that. At the moment, not evading the question, what is my main goal? As a multimedia artist it is split. As a writer, I want to earn revenue as the main goal, but I haven't written absent the second goal to enjoy writing. Not yet anyway. As a drawer, as in my calligraphy, or programmer my main goal is to make what I think is beautiful or fun. The secondary goal is to make money, but I don't see financial profit as a main goal.

I want to end with one point. When one's goal is to make money. The idea of time matters. The goal of a firm on the stock exchange is to make money all the time, morning noon or night for its entire history. But, human beings have two types of time allowed for making money. It is the time they have left, or the time that hasn't ended. I am fortunate to have the time that hasn't ended. My labors plus loving ones allow me time to keep creating for revenue and not need the immediacy that time you have left brings. For those artist who are allowed time they have left. A simple truth, no one can predict whether your art will lead to comfortable revenue. So you must be ready in your mind, for when the time is up. Just a suggestion.
