Artemis II astronauts have all emerged. A commentator just said this was a test to see if humans could survive. Yeah science, but wow human survival.

Holding my breath as I wait to see the capsule door on Artemis II opens & the astronauts emerge. For people like me who saw the Challenger blow up, this is still terrifying, wonderful, dramatic. (And Dr. Mae Jemison is amazing STILL. )

Blocked on TikTok today. I use the phrase “shot and killed” in posts for The Birthday Fairy Project every day. This post was blocked by TikTok instantly. I’m guessing the “offending phrase” was “Renee Good.” Is this what state media looks like?

“I was not inferior. I had worth.” Rev. Dr. John M. Perkins This is the kind of man who brought pragmatic humanity to my oftentimes wretched home state.Sounds like he joined a pantheon of stubborn, loving, committed Black folk who insisted on love. Much love to your family Johnathan as you grieve.

I just heard Tech Sgt. Tyler Simmons’ mother describe the knock at the door, telling her & her husband that their only child was one of 6 crew people killed in that horrific refueling plane crash. Daily travesties are mounting. We must be willing to continue to see & feel the impact of Trump’s war

Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world. We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.

sewage is water with life experience. it reflects the choices we make and carries with it the residue of our yesterdays and years. it can unsettle us—until we realize it was once a part of us. our pasts make us who we are today. and can inspire us to be better tomorrow.

winter sun shines high above a circular still water tank at a sewage treatment plant. The sky is blue with puffy clouds and brick buildings are on the distant horizon. the sky and sun reflect off the water in the tank. the foreground seemingly connects to the distant buildings as a catwalk on the left extends from out-of-frame bottom towards the horizon.

As you read the great pieces on our ancestor Jesse L Jackson, remember that he was the incantation of hope in my head. The “I am somebody” was not a PR trick. Our ancestor was sweating and strategizing in small towns and big cities. He seeded dreams of “maybe” and “why not.”

Today, Feb 5, is the birthday of Trayvon Martin. He died at 17, shot and killed in Sanford, FL. Trayvon was polite, caring & shy. An extension of his introversion, he wore a hoodie everywhere, no matter the weather. He loved football, video games, & listening to music, but his passion was aviation.

Camera/photo question: I’m an ordinary older person who takes average photos with my average iPhone 16 ProMax. I recently discovered an old Sony Cyber-Shot DSCS 750. Is there any reason for me to keep & use this camera? Anything creative I can do with the Sony that I can’t do w/my iPhone?

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
