Ukraine. Our land. Given by God. Kissed by the sun. Rocked by the winds. Tempered by fire. Defended by its sons and daughters.
It cannot be mistaken for anything else.
It can never be given away to anyone.
Happy Independence Day of Ukraine!
The framers of our Constitution knew that our republic would endure only if our presidents have the character and honor to put duty ahead of self interest. President Biden deserves our gratitude for his decades of service to our nation and for his courageous decision today.
If you're a night owl, like 30% of people, then you have a disability in the modern world.
"When a night owl is forced to wake up too early their prefrontal cortex remains in a disabled off-line state, like a cold engine after an early morning start. An adult’s owlness or larkness, also known as their chronotype, is strongly determined by genetics. If you are a night owl, it’s likely that one (or both) of your parents is a night owl. Sadly, society treats night owls rather unfairly on two counts. First is the label of being lazy, based on a night owl’s wont to wake up later in the day, due to the fact that they did not fall asleep until the early-morning hours. Others (usually morning larks) will chastise night owls on the erroneous assumption that such preferences are a choice, and if they were not so slovenly, they could easily wake up early. However, night owls are not owls by choice. They are bound to a delayed schedule by unavoidable DNA hardwiring. It is not their conscious fault, but rather their genetic fate." - Matthew Walker, PhD from 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘞𝘦 𝘚𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱
Night owl lives matter. 🦉
Tonight's full moon, known as #WormMoon rising behind the Cascades and the #Bellevue skyline, as seen from #Seattle before it disappeared behind the clouds.
The Kindred Spirits monument in Cork, Ireland is a beautiful tribute to the incredible generosity the Choctaw Nation showed the Irish people during the Great Famine of 1845–1852. #StPatricksDay 🪶☘️
