I was not prepared to see astronauts crying and hugging in space as they remember their friend and colleague’s late wife. 😭

Having cancer is neither brave or a fight. It is a cruel & unrelenting disease. You just have it. And your outcomes are because of the incredible medical treatments available.
To state that someone bravely fought it implies that those that died were neither brave or fought hard enough. Stop this.

A wooden fence displays a variety of artworks, including paintings and decorative pieces, alongside a snowy path. Leafless trees are visible in the background under a clear blue.

Looking through a window at a winter scene of a city park, with a large tree in the foreground and tall buildings in the background. Photo is taken through a fine mesh window covering, creating a filtered effect that makes the photo appear as if it’s aged.

I love visiting @agotoronto.bsky.social. The art’s amazing, the building’s gorgeous, even looking out the window is inspiring.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I had an annoying day at work and then watched this and I could feel the grumpiness lift. Just what I needed at the end of this day!

Just have to say how much I’ve enjoyed watching every video I’ve seen this week of a pet bouncing out the door only to be swallowed by the ridiculous piles of snow. 10/10, every single one.

The morning view today. Currently -24 and apparently it’s going to get colder.

I love how CBC insists on putting it in quotation marks. “Board of Peace.”

I was thinking the exact same thing. How cool would it have been if that entire audience had just walked out?

A very large Rothko painting, with yellow and orange layers, hanging in a gallery. There is a  young person with a pony tail sitting on the floor in front of it.

Thanks! Unfortunately I can’t say I’ve ever been to Newfoundland and Labrador, though … yet. A friend moved to Newfoundland a few years ago and I don’t think she’s ever leaving.

A Muskoka chair with snow accumulated at the back of the seat. The snow has settled in the vertical spaces and looks like a few tall pine trees.

Nature painted some pine trees on my Muskoka chair. Thanks, nature.

A shop window with a ceramic cat, small wire ferris wheel (possibly for small plant pots), a cake, and a neon sign that says, “Do what you love.” There are trees reflected in the glass.

This whole thread is awesome. I remember being five and put on a toboggan that was tied to the dog. That was an adventure. In high school we used to take the cafeteria trays outside at lunchtime.

Going to an art workshop Saturday afternoon. Maybe we’ll all create more beauty in the world (or at least have a good time trying).

This team brought so much happiness, hometown pride, excitement, and entertainment to people this season. It was so much fun falling back in love with baseball!

Thank you, gentlemen.

Chapman’s ice cream. Any variety or flavour, but the Premium is particularly great. Great, award-winning ice cream, but also a company with heart and a social conscience. Available at any grocery store.
