Cento series
She can snap a human back to reality with the best of her brethren:
Aphrodite’s always got things to do.
She’d rather a surrender to the inevitable.
the thrill of lakes unknown.
Maelstroms cry
Towards the mountains
Even the begrudged adonis
That try upon your peace
It's because you're lightning
Birds gather at your porch
They say god missed the paradise

And other questions answered. I admit they asked favorite and I instead presented most viewed 2024 art in various categories. But I did pin a work that I had the most happiness in its potential to bring others happiness.

Pillow Fight Championship
Pillow fighting is here. I have to say I have seen many sports get sponsors and exist but this one. And for the record, this sport of emperors has been around for three years
and a video just in case anyone doubts any of this, here is the proof

33 and single

produced by Thelma Victoria Iheanacho
Kiki Delivery's Service
the rare fantasy, based on 魔女の宅急便, phonetically Majo no Takkyūbin, in english 'Witch's Express Home Delivery written by Eiko Kadono. Kadono at the time of this rmnewsletter edition is ninety years old.
The review focuses on one thing, that is why I am a Kiki fan. The film's story is uncommonly balanced, not the good vs evil dichotomy, but the total human existence. Like a number of Studio Ghibli films: "Whisper of the Heart" or "The Wind Rises" for example, the action is minimal, and the Christian duopoly is nonexistent, and I recall my own youth, amongst black folk in this black place in a white city, the most.

Shuffle Along
I love black stageplays. I have the august wilson century cycle plus a collection of complete old black stageplays , even in the 1800s.
But I don't have shuffle along, where the song, I'm just wild about harry, comes from. So... here is what my search found. Enjoy
