If you are the White House "source" for a report that the president was sitting in the Oval Office discussing sending in troops to void the election and you are not on national television reporting what you saw, you don't understand what you witnessed or heard about.

The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

I was really peeved about that kid dissing Dr Jill Biden’s degree.
UIS Observatory to hold a virtual Star Party for the great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn
The University of Illinois Springfield Observatory is holding a virtual Star Party for the great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn from 5-6:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 21.
Participants can learn more and watch the virtual start party on Zoom by accessing the link at go.uis.edu/starparties.
The conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn is an infrequent event occurring when the apparent positions of the planets converge in the sky. Normally, just one planet is visible through the telescope at a time. During this great conjunction the apparent distance between Jupiter and Saturn will be less than six times the apparent diameter of Jupiter, the closest the two have been in more than 800 years. Over the course of a few nights, both will be visible simultaneously in the same telescope field of view with their closest approach on Dec. 21. Although they appear close together, Saturn will be at a distance of nearly 460 million miles behind Jupiter.

If the weather is bad or you just want to see a close-up of the “great conjunction” in telescopes there is a way to stream the celestial action online. Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona—the historic observatory from where Pluto was found in 1930—will host here on YouTube an evening of telescope viewing and commentary from its own astronomers and educators.
Thx! It’s pouring cats, dogs, and squirrels here so I’lll have to watch online.
