I just snapped this photo of the moon with my Samsung S23 Ultra.
I'm impressed and proud of my effort.
It's a good camera for a phone.

I couldn't support anything that comes from the oppressive government of the USA. Joanna, I've supported and admired your work, but I disagree with your comments.
Nothing good comes from the MAGA cult.

Tonight, we had pancakes served with Canadian maple syrup. I opted for Canadian maple syrup instead of syrup from the USA as a small act of solidarity with Canada. πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

The mental health sector has an elite, & like any elite it tries to stay in power. And the way it does this is by not merely controlling the resources & decision making, but by controlling the cognitive map: what we think, what language we think with & what new ideas are allowed.

Vale Marianne Faithful.
The Ballad of Lucy Jordan has always touched my heart.
Marianne Faithful had some troubled times, but she was remarkable.

Family gatherings continue… today all families mix. Multigenerational in-laws. I’m preparing myself for the inevitable question of β€œwhat do you do?”. Naming my job usually leads to β€œhow did you get into that?”

Will I name the elephants in front of my family and say β€œI’m a survivor”?

Yes. #CSA
