Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

A man stares into the distance, behind him a ghostly lighthouse shines its yellow light. Circles of green, gold and black fill the air around him.

Two pencil sketches of dogs. The one on the left was supposed to be chihuahua but I elongated his face too much so now its generic New Brunswick yellow dog (Maybe my dog) the side profile is supposed to be greyhound but again looks my dog lol.

Was watching a tutorial re drawing #dogs but I thought her drawing process was too complicated. Tried my own attempt starting with rough shapes instead of starting right away with detail. First dogs Ive ever drawn.

Often when I'm outside, I get the most painful red rashes on my face, chin, neck. Not sunburn, scaly, bumpy itchy rash. Miserable. It and yard work have now brought on the ol' nerve pain. Miserable. Lol.

I know I'm late on this one. Haven't been feeling it of late. Paints used were Holbein, Beam, Daler Rowney, Super Vision

Gold cross against a stormy black background. Pope Leo and Pete Hegseth stand back to back to each other, Pope looking left, Pete looking right. Under Pope is quote "even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood" under Pete Hegseth is quote of unknown pentagon official "The US has the military power to do what it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take it's side."

I'll be amongst that wave in a few years - just need other family to sort their lives out and the chaos king down south to chill it with the economy.

I had day surgery once and was prescribed Valium for "pain care"

*Morgan Freeman voice* It was not pain care.

An ad display 5 different types of bug killers ... and a back of mini reeses minis cups.

Another "one of these things is not like the others" game for the grown up Sesame Street generation.

I dunno, remembering my troublemaking school days there was some missed opportunities for heckling and drowning out and running out there

Thank you!!

I see a lot of people with these forms they put their socks on. Is it for shaping them? If so are there places that sell them? My mom makes hand made socks and Im always looking for Xmas ideas...

There's a big movie coming out about 1986 Cape Breton cocaine crime? With a #Bluenoser director? It's kinda cool Sean Asten is in it. If it makes it to the theatre here, I will be seared. #Blueskyfilm #NovaScotia #truecrime

6 little stamped black and white penguins.

It's been close to a year since I've done any #linocut. Needed some repeating #penguins for a little project, decided to make my own mini stamp to save some time. I just used a regular stamp pad for these.

They're very busy bombing everyone

The price you pay for a super early bedtime is the dog needs to go out at 4 am, but when you hear weird shrieks coming from the woods behind your house you nope right out and go back to bed. Likely a bird, but I seen enough of those scary things in the woods at night videos.

That's supposed to be GOLD. Amateur.

Today's crazy craving is #Truffles. I have zero clues where I might buy one here. I'd give my left arm for shavings on risotto or pasta or a little pat of truffle butter.

Iran isn't a core interest for the BRICS, China is more concerned with Trump-Xi summit: Josh Lipsky YouTube video by CNBC International Live

I've been wondering where BRICS has been in all this bullying of Iran the last month, given they are a member state. Apparently, membership doesn't seem to get you much love at all.

Okay, it was $30 for the cab lol but still.

I had to call a cab because my ride has to be at work an hour before me, an expense that's gone from $10 to $40 in the 10 years since I've moved here. I think about what I'm going to do if I have to walk to work every day.

I slept in this am - went to bed late (went to the movies last night) and then woke up at 2 super hot from the dog being on top of me. Hard time falling back asleep with full on anxiety about work, family, and Trump; I know it was sometime after 4. Then slept through 2 alarms.

I was a 20-year customer with Rogers, and used to have to beg and plead for better plans which would last for short pds of time. Im not a fan of Cdn tradition of switching every year, we have out of province numbers and switching was painful last year.

I used to pay close to $500 a month for three phones 100GBs of data and their 2nd tier internet. Now I have 4 phones, 300 GBs data, the best internet AND cable. I technically have a landline too but don't have it hooked up. For $300. ...

Rogers is fast approaching creepy stalker levels of harrassment. Despite being asked to remove me from their lists, repeatedly, there are numerous calls and in person visits, daily. I left them for a major competitor over a year ago and pay half the price for way better service. ...
