7 : Moon at Perigee; moon at equator; Venus Moon conjunction; neptune moon conjunction
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.

10 : mars saturn conjunction; jupiter moon conjunction; uranus moon conjunction

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.

How do you define Black Greatness

My Answer

I define Black Greatness, absent any desire to influence another's definition, as contentment.

I think when Black folk are happy, nothing like it exists anywhere else in humanity.

Education part Nth

Another multilog. I place a list of education posts in this one. I am admittedly tired of repeating myself. The saddest thing is how people in new articles repeat what I said countless times years ago.
