neocolonial malcontent chicTried some night illustration again yesterday. Figuring out how to represent the stars in overcast and/or light-polluted night skies is proving to be a bit of a math problem. I fucked up the scaled placement of the stars here as well: ⅔rd of the Summer Triangle looks fairly okay to me, but Ras Algethi and Ras Alhague needed to be spaced out more and aligned better, and Antares way more to the right-side margin.You can also see where I got tired of plotting out the fine foliar detail and rushed the conclusion 😅 I'm just getting started and I'm focused on having fun and not being mean to myself anymore, so I felt like I could just do that once in a while. Vega and Altair were big on the east-northeast when I was wrapping up for bed, almost up on the celestial meridian. Couldn't find Deneb Adige, but I thought I could see Polaris and Eltanin.<a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/VoidMoonVibes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VoidMoonVibes</a> 🌘 <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MastoArt</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/TraditionalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TraditionalArt</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/InkDrawing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#InkDrawing</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/NightSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NightSky</a>

neocolonial malcontent chicBaby's first night illustration 🌃 I have a long journey ahead to getting the exact look that I want and can be personally satisfied with; but I can't help but be proud of this thing I made.I went out in the evening and found Sirius glimmering in the west-southwest, alone in a rather overcast sky ramping up the humidity. Felt like they'd like to be included here, despite my beginner-level drawing skill.<a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/VoidMoonVibes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VoidMoonVibes</a> 🌖 <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MastoArt</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/TraditionalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TraditionalArt</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/InkDrawing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#InkDrawing</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/NightSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NightSky</a>

neocolonial malcontent chicAs usual for when the Moon is in Scorpio, or magnificently void of course, (tonight: both!!) I've been craving noodles/noodle soups.And lacking either the core ingredients needed or the money to get takeout (or even the wish for takeout, really: the stuff I want I've just got to make at home, and that's at once a tiring and exciting thought), I just ran through my (few) memories of food I'd had before moving out that I'd enjoyed, which included this incredible soupy garlic chicken noodles I'd had at the Coffee House near College St., Kolkata, and browsed through a number of recipes on Chinese food blogs.And then went on and had my dinner of leftover roti and my first, very nice attempt at a favourite potato and green papaya vegetable (first fed to me by my BFF#2) -- that I'd spoiled while reheating by adding too much salt 🥲Anyway, my beloved neem tree flowered today for the first time ever. And for a second first-time-ever, I saw neem flowers live. Have I mentioned that, growing up, I've always adored neem trees and wanted to live so close to one that I'd be able to touch it from my window, and now, by some miracle, I actually live exactly that close to one of those beauties?!

neocolonial malcontent chicI had planted this variety of jasmine (Jasminium sambac) in honour of my Shib Baba. So the first flowers blooming on the plant went dutifully to the deity this morning. This Friday-Saturday is Holi/Dol Pūrṇima; I'm hoping I'll be well enough, and the plant will bloom, to get flowers for Them.<a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/RetreatPosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetreatPosting</a> 🌘 <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/VoidMoonVibes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VoidMoonVibes</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/BloomScrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BloomScrolling</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Spring</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Devotion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Devotion</a>

neocolonial malcontent chicI get dispirited when I remember that my professional writing has become mostly an effort to make money these days. It's hard to truly enjoy anything with so much pressure on. But then I think about why I need that dough: sustenance for myself so I live to see another spring as beautiful as this one, if not more so. Shared resources with and gifts for my friends: the humans I laugh and cry and love with, the other-than-human kin that tell me stories and give us strength.I don't love having my nose to the grindstone. (Who does?!) But I do love building a world together with and for my loves.<a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/RetreatPosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetreatPosting</a> 🌘 <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/VoidMoonVibes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VoidMoonVibes</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/BloomScrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BloomScrolling</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Spring2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Spring2025</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/HomeCooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeCooking</a>

neocolonial malcontent chicJust wanted to let anybody who might need this know: iced black tea brewed with rose petals, fennel seeds, and tulsi leaves, stirred with the juice of a quarter of a lime, and with rock salt and sugar/honey to taste, makes an excellent aid for heartache, tired muscles, stressed gut, and frazzled nerves 🧊☕🧡 Also for roleplaying as the best tea monk in Panga.Inspired by <a href="https://pixelfed.social/irfan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@irfan</a> 's <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/MakanApaToday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakanApaToday</a> posts featuring iced tea varieties 🙏🏽<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/VoidMoonVibes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VoidMoonVibes</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/MarsNightMusings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MarsNightMusings</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/KitchenWitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KitchenWitch</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AstroHerbalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AstroHerbalism</a>

neocolonial malcontent chicHardly any high-quality <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/NightPhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NightPhotography</a> this, I know, but I'm often in a mood to simp on the Moon these days. I've turned off the art on my stargazing app and without it, the constellation Virgo is basically a person sitting on a floor with their legs sprawled out, maybe after a long day, and having a drink. Spica is their pelvis that's enjoying being at rest so much that it hurts a bit. And my beloved neem tree is guiding the cool breeze through the door. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/VoidMoonVibes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VoidMoonVibes</a> 🌚 <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/SilentSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SilentSunday</a>
