e.e. cummings with a poem on the paradoxical, boundless, and transcendental nature of Love.

"Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day."
~ Fyodor Dostoevsky

Dr. Emmanuel Moss, the chief of cardiac surgery at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, is resigning and moving to the United States amid rising antisemitism 🇨🇦

He is one of the only cardiac doctors performing robotic heart surgeries in Quebec.

Why is Quebec choosing to protect hateful antisemites over heart surgeons who save people's lives?

On the eve of World War II, approximately 1300 Jews lived in Moletai, Lithuania, comprising 75% of the town’s population. Most of the Jews in the town worked in trade and various crafts.

This photograph of the eleventh graduating class of the school along with their teachers was taken towards the end of the school year #OTD 2 June 1936.

In August 1941, most of the town's Jews were murdered by the Germans.

“Of all trees, I most love the oak in early summer. The leaves change colour as they open, so that the colour of the tree changes from day to day. Some produce a green that is very close to being luminous yellow, almost dazzling.” ~C.R.Milne

Twitter or X or whatever this thing is called now has done away with the birthday balloons 🎈 that used to appear as soon as you went to your profile on your birthday
Kind of disappointed. I liked seeing them every year. I guess not this year. 😔🥳#birthday #Junebirthdays

3 spacesuits, awaiting occupants.
Look carefully under the wrist of my Sokhol, you can see the internal pressure bag. You climb in through the chest, slip your feet down into the booties, wriggle your arms in, pop your head up through into the helmet, then double-seal the pressure bag with elastics, and lace it up tight. Simple, reliable, can do it alone.
Snap the gloves on, you're ready for launch.

Roo was washing his face and paws in the stream, while Kanga explained proudly that this was the first time he had ever washed his face himself. 'I don't hold with all this washing,' grumbled Eeyore. 'This modern Behind-the-ears nonsense.' ~A.A.Milne

At an aquarium in Japan, after closing time, some clever little otter pups help their grandpa tidy up their toys. As a reward, he gives them ice cubes

The Dormouse lay happy, his eyes were so tight
He could see no chrysanthemums, yellow or white.
And all that he felt at the back of his head
Were delphiniums (blue) and geraniums (red).

The Moon’s orbit isn’t a perfect circle.
Last night’s full Moon was the smallest of the year, as it was at its furthest distance from Earth.
It was also the 2nd full Moon in May, a rare ‘Blue Moon’.
Gorgeous moonrise photo over Lake Ontario, taken at Col Sam Smith Park by friend Andrew Yee.

From 1970 to 1992, the Canada Fitness Award Program pushed Canadian youth to focus on health and fitness.
An entire generation of Canadian children have memories (some good, some bad) of taking part in the program.
This is the story.

I’m giving a talk in Waterloo tonight, and Violet (age 6) made me cool artwork of a rocket, with the two of us beside it. She shyly asked me what is the most important thing to study to become an astronaut. My answer? Learn how things work. Be forever curious, find out the answer, build a platform of knowledge under yourself. Thank you to Violet for autographing the picture! It will be on my fridge as soon as I get home.

@Ajarncom It’s definitely not for everyone, and it can be a bit slow initially but does it ever get good!
