She is wired all wrong

What she needs

Is to get all wound up

After a few twists and turns

It will put a spring in her step

But when I lifted the lid

.. you turn around...

you shake the door

A loud growl can be heard in the wall.

You unlock the door, go to the banister,

Thoughts to a Palmetto Christmas

_{my thoughts}

Many artist found themselves adding a different aspect of their operations during the covid19. I admit I have been slow to embrace escapism but I didn't feel the same sense of loss during 2020-2022 as many others. 

Glad you are going in another path. 

On a literary note, when I think of "American Fiction" the film or the book it is from "Erasure" from percival e. I think a great contrast exist between writing in a new genre to placate to an old negative environment opposed to writing in a new genre to embrace a new positive aspect in one's environment.

good luck:) as always

A new World Wide Web is needed?

_{I asked the following question}

What function if any at all will DSNP have with EPUB? I comprehend that DSNP is a protocol, a rule set , and epub is a file format, a structure for data, a duplicatable structure for data. so Epub is a an object above the application layer while DSNP is designed to be a replacement for at least the application layer protocols and , I guess, at most the internet layer of protocols.
But I ponder can dsnp be accessed in an epub. I know an epub can utilize application layer protocols to connect to the larger internet and utilize data.
Is it possible for DSNP to be utilized through an epub, conceptually at least?
I admit in my mind I figure DSNP with its individual markers may not be usable through an epub as an epub has duplicate structure.
But I want to pick the brains of any project liberty developers who see this

Chel
Here is a depiction of the character Chel from Road to El dorado by coolbeaniebabez 

I am just seeing early concept art of Chel, the character in Road to El Dorado from Dreamworks. The tragedy of assessing art that involves multiculturalism is you can not serve two masters. 
When you look at Native or Indigenous art from the commonly called in modernity American continent, you see that women plus men are depicted spare of heavy clothes, reflecting a common sense approach to fashion in the very humid/hot climated from modern day mexico to modern day northern peru or chile. 

Original Chel concept

Chel in either form isn't a grand fashion distance from what an indigenous woman living in mesoamerica where cortez landed will wear. Chel will look farthest from history  wearing a hooping skirt. 
I think taking out the steamy sex scenes was good simply because too often females not white european are always deemed desiring the white european male in film, de facto. But, I do think an argument can be had to needing welcoming lust from a short/wide hipped woman in general , definitely a woman not white european. I can't recall a female animated character who is short/wide hipped being embraced as an object of beauty. The problem is, you can't do both.
Jessica Rabbit is a singer in a lounge who has one purpose, to entertain the guests, human or toon, while all male, with the fantasy of her wanting them in song and audience play. Jessica Rabbit isn't sleeping around, and she is trying to save her husband with various other activities. Chel wasn't given as well as scenario as JEssica Rabbit but the way Chel looks allowed her to , if given a story chance, a similar role, which i think would had served the intention of showcasing an uncommon female character as an object of desire. 

"...Initially there were some steamy love scenes and saucy outfits designed for Chel, the love interest in the movie voiced by Rosie Perez. ...In addition to mellowing out the romantic scenes, the animators redesigned the clothing worn by Chel. The movie now has a PG rating....Meanwhile, some in the Latino community who have seen the film have objected to the curvaceous outline of Chel, saying she is yet another example of the “hot and spicy” native....Meanwhile, some in the Latino community who have seen the film have objected to the curvaceous outline of Chel, saying she is yet another example of the “hot and spicy” native."

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.
