It's December, the last month of the year.
This is a time we evaluate
the projects completed,
those we missed, and
those we hope for in the coming year.
The True Colours team has maintained its slogan:
C A T (creativity, art, and talent).
That's our guiding star, and we follow it
like the star that leads us
along the right path of the platform.
We're not the Three Wise Men,
But two cats roaming rooftops,
leaping from one place to another
and defying death, because we have
more than seven lives.
Below, we'll present the posts and comments curated by @wakeupkitty and @solperez - Steemcurator08 account.
Nomination 1: @almaguer
- Hashtag: artonsteemit
- Country: Cuba
- Post
- Nominated by: wakeupkitty
@almaguer taught himself to paint and began his artistic career decades later than planned, thanks to Steemit and the support he found there.
Although he faces challenges (often painting at night after a long day of work, being limited by materials, internet, struggles while climbing those hills to make it possible) his art continues to improve.
This painting is a great example of his work: timeless, thoughtful, intriguing, and a joy to look at. It resonates across every culture.
COMMENT
Nomination 2: @marcoteixeira
- Hashtag: photography
- Country: Portugal
- Comment
- Nominated by: wakeupkitty
It's good to know what goes on among the Steemians. What makes them move on regardless of rewards and comments?
There's a discussion between wakeupkitty and marcoteixeira about the posts he writes. He shares his photos of Italy and adds information about the places he visits. The suggestion is to add a personal touch. In this comment, the author shares why he keeps posting in Italy even if he's rarely rewarded.
Nomination 3: @norat23
- Hashtag: creativewriting
- Country: Venezuela
- Post
- Nominated by: solperez
@norat23 presents a story in which the protagonist attends her niece's 15th birthday to meet her "platonic love of Thousand years ago. Still a hunk to her. Seeing him so physically deteriorated, she couldn't believe she had once been so infatuated with this "heartthrob" and the fact he is the richest man in town doesn't change anything.
It's a very charming piece, well worth reading.
COMMENT
Nomination 4: @pousinha
- Hashtag: cinema
- Country: Brazil
- Comment
- Nominated by: solperez
@pousinha formulates an interesting dissertation on how American cinema has handled bland and predictable plots in Christmas movies and in those of other genres; achieving in the reflective and intelligent viewer a feeling of unease for the films brought to the big screen.
- Nomination 5: @ace108

And there we are joining the author's first day at Republic Polytechnic in Singapore for a two day course.
While playing the 4 seasons of Vivaldi provided I study the clear photos and wonder how easy it is for a teacher to make students eat chicken with rice.

COMMENT
Nomination 6: @paholags
- Hashtag: creative
- Country: Venezuela
- Comment
- Nominated by: solperez
@paholags writes a story questioning the behavior of some people who spend their time in churches, supposedly to act in accordance with God's precepts, but who verbally attack and scorn those they consider sinners. Regarding this impeccable story, the author comments that she believes in God's divine power, but not in people who blindly cling to religious dogma. I invite you to read the story, the comments, and also to share your opinion.
Nomination 7: @eto-ka
- Hashtag: Photography
- Country: Russia
- Post
@eto-ka has shared some stunning photos of spiders taken at the Moscow Zoo in 2020. This post also includes valuable information about spider life and molting. We invite you to read and comment.
In this first week as curators we voted for users from Europe, Africa, Asia and North and South America.
We visited 22 communities, and gave support to several users who post from their personal blogs.
The Steemit.com website was very unstable, as was the steemit.moecki.online login. This made the voting process difficult at times.
Kind Regards

¡Muchas gracias por nombrarme! En esta temporada, lo de comentar es casi la única actividad que consigo hacer. Entonces, se hace necesario explicar los porqués. Estoy en fase de transición, pues me temo que el próximo mes (hay plazo que no puedo perder) tendré que deshacerme de mi VAT. El actual gobierno de este país lo está destruyendo todo (los pequeños comercios y servicios) y ahora me la paso entre un sitio de información y otro para ver cómo seguir trabajando legalmente sin VAT. Imagínense: ahora quieren que emitamos facturas para cualquier clase de actividad y para cualquier cliente y están locos de remate. Pues, todos los que trabajamos en plataformas como esta, ¿cómo demonios vamos a colocar la dirección de residencia física, la identificación fiscal, nombres y apellidos de los propietarios de estas plataformas o de los foros? Sin esas informaciones no conseguimos emitir facturas y, si no emitimos facturas, son dos años de cárcel, además de multas que pueden alcanzar los cinco ceros. Obviamente, nadie de nosotros posee la información sobre esos datos para la factura. Además, aun si lo tuviéramos, habría que firmar un contrato con un banco para la emisión (también obligatoria) de invoice, pues se consideran clientes en el extranjero y ese contrato cuesta un riñón, por lo menos diez veces más de lo que ganamos en estas plataformas. Ni las facturas nacionales son viables. Imagínense a los millares de vendedores callejeros que tenemos en el país: por cada zumo de naranja vendido en la calle van a tener que pedir todos aquellos infelices datos a cada peatón que pare en su quiosco. Y, por añadidura, afuera de las capitales y metrópolis, incluso tus conocidos, hasta parientes, se rehúsan a fornecer la identificación fiscal. Mi propia cuñada no quiso proporcionarme el de ella por las clases que di a sus hijos. Así que no hay mucho que hacer...

Definitivamente, los gobiernos, por lo general, tratan a los ciudadanos de sus países como enemigos. Comprendo todo tu planteamiento, y más aún la desazón que sientes. Un abrazo.
Suerte que ni soy ciudadana del país donde vivo. La verdad es que tengo ganas de hacer mis maletas e ir a Portugal u otro país más viable. Lástima que estas decisiones no se pueden tomar así de plano. Ya no tengo edad para equivocaciones...
Siempre es bueno analizar nuestra vida misma como si fuésemos extraños. Como dice el refrán popular: "A veces perdiendo, también se gana".
Verdad, cierto.

Sounds like the Netherlands and the New World Order plans - Europe first. 🤔
A super creative day/week
🍀♥️
@ wakeupkitty
Thank you for the nomination. I didn't see it coming. What you write is interesting; it's true, although I got to this point without realizing it. Without your help, the story would be different. Steemit is a place to learn, find art and artists; there are great artists there. There are great thinkers, top-level intellectuals. I humbly take my hat off to them. My reality is brutal, but it doesn't stop me from dreaming. I dream that one day many will care about keeping this ecosystem afloat, without the hateful practice of just bleeding it dry, really helping those who create, in short, a pride of belonging.
Congratulations to the other nominees. I hope this is the beginning.
@wakeupkitty and @solperez
Quisiera reestimear este comentario, porque encuentro en tus sabias palabras la fortaleza que necesito para Creer y crear acá. Te mereces esta mención y muchas más, porque eres un ser humano sumamente talentoso. Un abrazo.
Reality is more harsh (cruel) than anyone can imagine. Empathy is an illusion, but dreams are what keep us alive. It's good to hear you still have dreams.
I guess at a certain point enough should be enough. Steemit can also offer something to others in need who do have, like you mentioned, a lot to offer.
Congratulations
🍀♥️

¡Holaaa Sol!🤗
Muchísimas gracias por incluir mi comentario en este reporte🥰. Te cuento que soy muy crítica con esos fanáticos religiosos que más allá de dar a conocer el amor de Dios, lo que hacen es andar con un látigo que ellos mismos se han inventado.
Sé que la tarea está ruda, pero no pierdo la esperanza de que muy pronto esos jueces van a aprender que, su misión no es juzgar, sino acercar al ciudadano al camino de Dios✨.
¡Felicidades👏🏻🥳! A los compañeros que también forman parte de este reporte... Excelentes textos y comentarios✨.
Lluvia de bendiciones para todos🙏🏻💚
Como has de saber, estas dos gatas andan por los tejados buscando a los steemitas más creativos de la plataforma; y tú, sin duda alguna, eres una de las mejores. Un abrazo inmenso. Gracias por estar.
