Cat Nights refers to an irish , or better celtic, folklore. From what I comprehend, August 9th to August 16th is when a witch can transform herself into a cat and turn back to human. But on August 17th if a witch transforms into a cat , she is a cat until she dies. S Literature Ship of Fools, Legend to beTitle: Ship of Fools, Legend to be I will tell a short story A fresh start, from long ago When the sun was turquoise blue While the moon grasses said no An equus stood on a hill Saw a ship tilted at shore Apple branches in his mouth Released... and one to the core Branches back, stepped on the side And down, to Sojourner's Tide Hustle or bustle about Ney! he said, where's a sea ride A human point to Sojourn Forward, no dilly dally Stop! right there... you hooved baby Or you'll become a sally The unsailed youth looked down and Quizzically looked around Question, who spoke the harsh words That gave his trepid fear sound A tap of metal on bone Revealed the hidden locale The fohlen raised his head up He be no males leisure pal Easy young one, your head's safe Said the sailor underneath His tiny scuffed head peaked out Said, stop chattering your teeth He had a sandy crown and Two little cute kitty feet The sea you want is tricky The cat said in summer heat Know! surprises is the norm If Cat Nights by V. Neumann By old Irish lore on the 17th of August more cats are among us than ever before. It is said that witches can turn into a cat. But no more than eight switches as a matter of fact. On the ninth switch they cannot regain their life as a witch. A cat they must remain. So if in mid August you should hear the cats yowl amongst sounds of the locust when cats are on the prowl Then you will know as lore was told over time that cats will show lives as many as nine. referal from Old Farmer's Almanac https://www.almanac.com/calendar/date/2024-08-17 from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat-s%C3%ACth Superstitions of highlands and islands of scotland https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/61730/pg61730-images.html Cat-sith https://folklorescotland.com/cat-sith/ I can't wait to see the beautiful visions of Cat Nights ! you create or color! @HDdeviant Ask yourself, to color or to be colored! 🌅 NEW HORIZONS: January 2026 Contest 🌅\nBrought","html":{"type":"tiptap","features":"[{\"type\":\"TIPTAP_FEATURE\",\"data\":{\"tiptap\":true,\"version\":1}},{\"type\":\"WORD_COUNT_FEATURE\",\"data\":{\"words\":581,\"chars\":3373}},{\"type\":\"MEDIA_COUNT_FEATURE\",\"data\":{\"emoji\":17,\"emotes\":8,\"images\":1,\"mentions\":7,\"video\":0,\"galleries\":0,\"gifs\":0,\"ids\":[1284759575]}},{\"type\":\"IS_EMPTY_FEATURE\",\"data\":{\"isEmpty\":false}}]"}},"filetype":"jpeg"}" data-cropping="fill" style="font: inherit; vertical-align: bottom; color: inherit; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block;"> New HorizonsJan 8, 2026 February contest: heart of loveFeb 1, 2026 Wishing WellsMar 1, 2026 EASTER EGGS - Color Me ClubApr 3, 2026 🌅 Mother Goose: May 2026 Contest 🌅\nBrought to you","html":{"type":"tiptap","features":"[{\"type\":\"TIPTAP_FEATURE\",\"data\":{\"tiptap\":true,\"version\":1}},{\"type\":\"WORD_COUNT_FEATURE\",\"data\":{\"words\":631,\"chars\":3641}},{\"type\":\"MEDIA_COUNT_FEATURE\",\"data\":{\"emoji\":17,\"emotes\":8,\"images\":5,\"mentions\":7,\"video\":0,\"galleries\":0,\"gifs\":0,\"ids\":[1327120224,1284003118,1289384960,1286745083,1317038393]}},{\"type\":\"IS_EMPTY_FEATURE\",\"data\":{\"isEmpty\":false}}]"}},"filetype":"png"}" data-cropping="fill" style="font: inherit; vertical-align: bottom; color: inherit; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block;"> May 2026 Contest: MOTHER GOOSEMay 1, 2026 🌅 Super Hounds: July 2026 Contest 🌅\nBrought to you","html":{"type":"tiptap","features":"[{\"type\":\"TIPTAP_FEATURE\",\"data\":{\"tiptap\":true,\"version\":1}},{\"type\":\"WORD_COUNT_FEATURE\",\"data\":{\"words\":611,\"chars\":3541}},{\"type\":\"MEDIA_COUNT_FEATURE\",\"data\":{\"emoji\":17,\"emotes\":8,\"images\":12,\"mentions\":7,\"video\":0,\"galleries\":1,\"gifs\":0,\"ids\":[1351341816,1347274411,1302167434,1287891912,1329835732,1339486094,1338171404,1284003118,1289384960,1286745083,1317038393,1289531986]}},{\"type\":\"IS_EMPTY_FEATURE\",\"data\":{\"isEmpty\":false}}]"}},"filetype":"png"}" data-cropping="fill" style="font: inherit; vertical-align: bottom; color: inherit; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block;"> July 2026 Contest: Super Hounds!Jul 1, 2026 #tctbc #colormeclub #tocolorortobecolored #hddeviant #catnights

#BlackHistory337 6 : Fictional Slave Narratives
URL https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/journal/BlackHistory337-6-Fictional-Slave-Narratives-1348180919 CONTENT #BlackHistory337 is about the time outside the 28 days designated as Black History Month, an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of the Black community during the other 337 days of the year. Let's continue learning all year long, because history doesn't stop when February ends. For this edition of #Black337 the focus is Fictional Slave Narratives. In modernity most know of biographical slave narratives like Frederick Douglass's autobiography or Solomon Northrup's Odyssey , more commonly known as "Twelve Years A Slave". But circa 1865, the year the Union defeated the Confederacy in the War Between the States in the United States of America, the most popular fiction from Black or non Black writers were Fictional Slave Narratives. The fictional slave narrative most mentioned in modernity is Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin". But, Black people did create fictional slave narratives , as well; they were heavily published or financially successful in there original publishing time. [ I list a set of fictional slave narratives written by Black people , free to read, below. ] To be blunt, the fictional slave narratives written by Black people had two forces against the continuity of their financial or media popularity when first published in the U.S.A. . First, Black peoples finances went through an obliteration from outside the Black populace. Second, Black people became resentful of the tone of slave narratives, biographical or fictional; it isn't a dislike of the truth but from 1865 to modernity , Black people have become frustrated or bitter about the ever presence of embattled black characters in the media of the U.S.A.

The kid had launched himself from the window, the home-made cape fluttering inches out of reach of his outstretched hand. He wasn't sure how long he'd stood there as the fluttering scrap of blue darted down and away. It might have been a few seconds, a few hours, a few days for all he could remember.

LeBron James Goes to Philly 76ers
@Pioneer1 First Lebron James has never stopped working out, jordan did, that is why jordan's time with the wizards was atrocious. Lebron is playing a team sport, Tyson isn't. Boxing is a sport that is singular, thus, the individual variance has a greater effect on results, in team sports, an older player can play with younger ones to offset the ocllective ability LEbron james never took a break, Serena did. Serena williams had ababy and relaxed and then came back, that break took her off the train of the kind of training needed to remain at the top level, and tennis in singles is like boxing. Second What you seem to not realize is modern sport is so attached to media hype that older superstars make tons of money. In most sports today, the biggest stars in terms of attracting sponsors tend to be the oldest. Messi or cr7 in futebol/lebron/jackovic in tennis . many of these sports want the superstars to keep playing. and most of these athletes dont mind cause many of them have spent their whol elives as Bill russell said, being courted so they don't have anything else but playing sport. https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/449-bill-russell-born-1934/

Universal Income Trap
@frankster Ionic drives haven't been theoretical since the early 1900s. well, science fiction is theory absent arithmetic support. but theoretical feasibility is determined based on what one decides feasibility comes from. From base feasibility on arithmetics, others on lab work, others on fiscal capitalistic presence. so... in the current environment, until any technology is in the fiscal capitalistic markets, it is functionally unfeasible. When you say warp drives, do you mean warp space ? or do you mean attaining levels of speed significantly above the projected next new heights at the current time?

Universal Income Trap
@Pioneer1 the affordable care act was from nancy pelosi, not obama so it should be called pelosicare and it wasn't obama who cut it out, the congress did. Obama told pelosi whatever she could get through congress he would sign, and he did. PElosi couldn't get the votes without the public option going away. The reason was simple, the usa is a country of over three hundred and fifty million people cut up in fifty states that are uneven financially. What that means is, healthcare and the cost of living shifts from state to state and from region to region in states, thus the affordable care act, trying to make healthcare affordable for all the fiscal poor in the usa while in fifty different financial regions which are themselves cut up into various fiscal zones is a hard challenge. Many donkeys opposed the public option which people don't realize, because healthcare is different in each state. hasn't the whole world been petitioning? when you say petition what do you mean? people write letters the government all the time? what do you mean by petition? The UA doesn't allow for direct democracy to be applicable at the federal level so.... well with at least over ninety percent of black people enslaved from 1492 to 1865 in the lands that make up the modern usa, I am certain all those enslaved in said period survived. ok , 1) carve out a piece of the usa in which one historically impotent populace within the usa has governmental + financial power to control its destiny 2)if UBI gets implemented , in said carved out piece, said historically impotent populace will be able to dictate how ubi will relate Your plan is not impossible , but it requires alot of considerations. 1) what percent of black people are not interested in carving out a piece of the usa. whatever percent that is , is a deterrent. I can't say how large but it will include, all black individualist, which has a long history in the usa, these are black people who simply do for themselves as individuals , and view collective black life through the lens of black individuals. Some black people will be part of other black groups that will oppose carving a piece out of the usa. so black donkeys[ party of andrew jackson] black elephants[ party of abraham lincoln] all the black wealthy whose financial wealth is tied to an integrated existence with the non black, black integrationists, who have along history in the usa, who want mixed communities, they don't want individualism but they want black populaces to coexist intermingled with the nonblack. I am missing many others of course, but I can easily assume, maybe twenty percent of the populace of black people in the usa will be willing to carve out a piece of the usa for governmental plus financial control. 2) beyond who among the blacks will be part of this, what part of the usa is to be carved out? 2-A) for a piece of the usa to have the power to relate to federal law on its own, it must be a state in the union. I restate, Universal basic income will be a federal action , the only legal way to dictte how any federal action relates to a particular region is for a place to be a state. countis or cities don't have the legal power to relate to federal law. This is why NYC continually begs NY state for money. Even though NYC is the engine, the federal government gives money to new york state so nyc , even though it earns most of the money, ike los angeles with california, , new york city has to beg new york state for money. So, the only way to make a distinct relationship to a federal law under the current constitution is to be astate in the union. cities nor counties have the power. So, what state will this be? 2-B)The whole purpose of Jim Crow in southern states was to get black people to run out of the southern states so that black people would not have a majority populace in any state in the union. and no, black people today are not running into the likes of georgia, mississippi, south carolina or other So with no state having a majority black populace and each states, majority non black populace 100% opposed to being the minority, I don't see how you can get any state in the union to become majority black which can then allow the scenario you want. 2-C) maybe you can get a state to split. The law in the usa allows a state to split if the state legislature + the congress approve. Based on this, you only have four states with a black populace percentage that can yield such a situation. Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama/South Carolina all other states black populaces are too small a percentage. The problem is all of those states legislatures have been engineered to make sure black legislation in those states is a smaller percentage than the black population. And beyond that, I doubt the white legislatures in those states will ever vote for a split, absent violence or money. Violence I doubt will be accepted by black people let alone non blacks, and money... well... the black wealthy will not finance such a movement for what I stated already so even if you get the numbers this will be a movement absent money so I don't see how it will be able to pay white elected officials to support spliting a state, not to mention paying the congressional members of various other states who will demand money as they have nothing to lose in saying no. It is possible to consider a movement of black people to one of the sparsely populated northwest states, ala exodusters, but such a move will require money to move said black people and maintain them in a northwest state. But if you have the money It can be done. For example south dakota or north dakota or wyoming each have less than a million people. the poorest state in the union with at least a million black people is mississippi. so if you had money, you could move the million black people of mississppi to one of wyoming or northd akota or south dakota and you would had a majority black state. All three of those states already offer land for sale. so even if the land is small and it forces an urban existence, the populance is the population and thus your strategy manfest. Your strategy isn't bad, but it requires focus. It will not be a mass movement within the black populace of the usa, that time has passed. It can't involve violence cause black people aren't willing. So with it being legal, that narrows what can be done or where. But as I explained, possible. @frankster The truth is, all technology, from the wheel to ionic pulse drives powered by nuclear fission reactors [ not science fiction, both are being developed by the usa+russia as we type] has positive or negative effects, no technology is all good or all bad. The problem is humans when a technology benefit don't like to admit who isn't and when a technology malfit don't like to admit who isn't. It's always both.

Universal Income Trap
@Pioneer1 you say Universal basic income is a trap aligning to his stated position that universal basic income will force people to adhere to whatever government mandates or policies to retain the money needed for them to survive in the usa, in which their rent, food, clothing, ehalthcare, schools, holiday costs are more than most can afford. Now while I contest his attempt at prescience, assuming universal basic income will come with fealty of a petty nature, let us assume it will happen. Ok. Then the fears you or he have are warranted with the assumption. But, let us look at the environment, the financial environment in the usa? Now he admitted in the very same video that the labor market for humans in the usa is dwindling. He admitted it. Now, it is also commonly comprehended that ninety percent of wealth in the usa is inherited, meaning, acquired by geniture, or bloodline descendency. It si also commonly known that ninety percent of the wealth is in the hands f a one percent ... sometimes one percent of a one percent. So overwhelming majority of wealth being inherited + most wealth in an extremely small percentage of the populace,+ a dying human labor fiscal need = the fiscal sitaution in the usa today said fiscal situation in the usa today +univeral basic income = maintenance of the current system of debt, wealth, inheritance, market manipulation or structures. or cost in various industries. Absent this elevated welfare, what do you propose for people to do to pay for rent/food.healthcare? I didn't listen to the whole video but he didn't offer solutions. Are you suggesting fiscal poor people kill themselves? yeah ok, I know a number of blacks throughout the years, all ages, have said that. Most in humanity will never do it. Do you know why I know? nothing black people went through in the usa was harder than legal enslavement on the mind + body+ spirit and yet they as humans foun ways to survive, not thrive, but survive such that they didn't kill themselves. Even if that meant being a shell or empty vessel just breathing till you die. But they didn't kill themselves. Most humans will not kill themselves today and especially with the option of Universal basic income. The problem with every single person opposed to universal basic income is the absence of an alternative from them. you say it is a trap but I still think it is an inevitability based on the environment. I live in NYC, the rent is too high, the food is too hgih, the healthcare is too high. Now you can sya, people should move. But, move where? Is los angeles cheap? is louisiana safe? Remember, right now, the carpet industry, based in georgia, has multiple lawsuits from white people , fiscal poor white people, from south carolina to alabama, over their air and water being cancer causing for decades, at least fifty years easy. Moving isn't going to help most people in the usa. Then the learn skills argument . But here is the problem with the skills argument. the history of labor in the usa proves labor was never given for skills, that is another myth in the usa. Black people were used as enslaved labor not because of merit or their skills but cheapness, affordability. The second legal ensalvement ended, circa 1865, white people went about entrapping black people in bad contracts which whether legal or illegal were expensive to contest in a court of law and since 99% of black person born before 1965 in the usa had no money , no financial inheritance, they had no money to afford the legal fees necessary to challenge all the legal traps whtite people terrorized black people into from 1865 to 1980. When the immigration act came in the mid nineteen hundred and sixties, the whites used uneducated immigrants, not because of skills but because of cheapness of labor. The use of robots/computer programs/machines of various levels began taking over human laborers in the usa before said electronics were a skillwise replacement for human labor. So what is the answer? At the end of the day, all movements anywhere in humanity to be stopped need an alaternative and in absence of the alterantive, the movement will kee moving to its inevitability.
