"Victor Glover and Christina Koch pose for photos while sitting on the flight deck of the USS John P Murtha." These two wonderful astronauts are smiling and fully geared in their orange travel suits that they were wearing during their capsule's re-entry.

I love this photo. 🌸
Some day, communities will head out and call space home. May those travellers be first and foremost compassionate humanitarians. My hope: As humanity ventures into space, please, let's carry our better qualities with us, rather than the hatred that often divides us.

What quickly and playfully comes to mind is Pope merch with the Pentagon's threat on it. I would buy a hoodie. 🤭

Hah! Passers-by are mesmerized/enchanted by his groundedness.

Are we in some sort of parallel universe? 😕

Kirk: “Take it down” Musk: “No” #musk #standingonbusiness #druski #parody #celebritynews YouTube video by Bo Grant

When I thought "Can things get any weirder?" #Musk is siding with #Druski 's exceptional parody of #ErikaKirk
I loathe Musk. May I, temporarily, share a kudos to Musk for saying no to Erika. And, a hate-filled Right wing-grifter, #CandaceOwens, supports Druski & she chose to stop supporting Trump. 🌸

Oh? A new stumble upon. Perfect for closing your eyes to and letting the sounds take all of you on a journey or two. 🌸

🌸 Much love and more to all our Trans children, adults, and our elderly. 🏳️‍⚧️

On Twitter? That is unhinged and white supremacy Musk, Kirk, and Trump's digital landscape. So, 100k+ is incredible.

#NoKings
Heartening are all of the glimpses of children, families, and individuals sharing their time, compassion, and hope at the numerous No Kings rallies. 🌸

French General Torches Trump’s Demands for Help With Scathing ‘Titanic’ Comparison War can be a lonely place.

Sometimes, I do love what a General has to say...
"[Retired three-star general and former commander of the French Foreign Legion, #MichelYakovleff] has said joining President Donald #Trump ’s war is like buying a discounted ticket for the #Titanic after it had already hit the iceberg."

Priceless! 🚢

I'm hesitant of Judd's new position. Heartening it is if he did embrace a humane stance on immigration. Yet, those who have been Trump apologists are difficult/impossible to trust. I do thank Judd & his team for capturing child predators. Judd & his team appear to overlook the one in the White House

"Don't Fear The Reaper" Cover - The Barefoot Movement feat. Dave Eggar YouTube video by The Barefoot Movement

🌸🎶
A wonderful cover.
My bones are a-creakin'. Their cover brings back loved memories of friends from those skinny jeans & fading frayed jean jacket younger years when BOC played Montréal in the 1980s. How quickly the years go. (insert creaking bones sounds here)

U.S. Tomahawk likely struck near girls’ school in Iran, experts say, as death toll tops 165 | CBC News New footage shows what an expert investigative group says is likely an American Tomahawk missile hitting a compound in southern Iran, metres from the school where a deadly unclaimed blast killed more ...

Heartbreaking times. Two powerful countries ending the lives of civilians & levelling entire towns/cities as a means to distract the world from their corruption, child SA, and/or genocidal actions. I wish there were int'l organizations that can stop #Trump & #Netanyahu

www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

A powerful unifying image from 2024 which is profoundly relevant in 2026. 🌸

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat.
No authorization from Congress.
No reason our service members should be dead.
And no exit plan or strategy.

This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.

Indefensible and a continuation of Trump and Netanyahu's use of chaos as a means to avoid being held accountable for their crimes against humanity. 😢

I am trying to be hopeful while the world operates as like Dani shares: "... protecting power. Not the young and the vulnerable."

May things change sooner than later. 🌸

Epstein Survivor Dani Bensky: “Why Is the FBI Director Patel Partying Instead of Investigating?” YouTube video by APT

#DaniBensky shares:
"There are 2 cases of abuse: 1st case is the one we endured while we were ensnared in the largest sex trafficking ring that this country has known to date. 2nd is the abuse of our government. They are covering everything up & protecting power. Not the young & the vulnerable." ⚖️

I could not watch SOTU. What I could watch are the empowering voices which shared their thoughts of what was said and not said at the event. Though time passes quickly, the next presidential election, November of 2028, feels like it is too far away. 😢

Press Conference: U.S. Citizen Sues Federal Gov't For Unlawful Detention YouTube video by Institute for Justice

⚖️🌸
Oh? #InstituteForJustice is assisting #GeorgeRetes in suing the Federal Government for its use of #federalimmunity which:
— shields the government from accountability
— makes it difficult for harmed individuals to obtain justice
— creates procedural barriers even during clear cases of injustice.

👽 Due to a recent storm over a moment in a former & exceptional Pres #Obama interview, a moment where he says something which ignited #UAP / #UFO content creators who love their conspiracies, I do wish to share that #DrBecky 's perspective on life in the universe parallels my own.

Norway's former PM Jagland charged with gross corruption over Epstein links The charge was brought after the Council of Europe lifted his immunity, which he had as its former secretary general.

⚖️ As per usual, I am a little late to this heartening news. #Norway has reminded us that if willing, child predators can be held responsible. Please, let us witness North America enacting the same level of integrity and justice for the victims/survivors of #Trump #Epstein #Maxwell

Comedy! 🎭
I 🥰 the art of comedy. Artist #JessSalomon is a recent stumble upon. Being from Montréal, I am a goof for not stumbling upon Jess's art before today. There's lots to love and to find cathartic in the humour that Jess shares.
