“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.”
― Edgar Mitchell

If you need a poetry anthology I cannot recommend this one enough - curated by Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milos, each page contains a shortish poem from all over the world and all throughout history. Pick it up, thank me later. #Poetry #PoetryCommunity #WritingCommunity

I'm sorry.. he's just rolled back restrictions on pesticides that other countries refuse to use which may well impact our ability to export agricultural products. And of course Croplife Canada approves it:

CropLife Canada is a national trade association representing the manufacturers, developers and distributors of pesticides and plant breeding innovations. In addition to providing farmers with tools that increase productivity and sustainability, our members also develop products used in a wide range of non-agricultural settings, including urban green spaces, public health and transportation corridors.

This is how my feed looked just now, and I gotta say it made me chortle:

screen capture of a skeet by Dr. B. Ritto that says "If you DM me I'll DM you a picture of my butthole." and below it in an entirely unrelated skeet by Chames it says "biblically accurate stuffed crust pizza"

My 55th birthday is coming up and I never ask, nor look for presents but sometimes it's nice to do nice things for a person and also I know at least a few people wonder whether there's something I might like and, well, I like books. munrobooks.com/gift-registr...
