The humans are running out of gas, what does that mean for….

During the week a dog named Bunsen texts his family.

Those texts are saved.

Today they are shared.

This is Texts From Bunsen!

It's time for all of us to stand up and save Canada.

Alberta, let this sink in:

In Canadian history, only 2 premiers initiated referenda on separating from Canada:

- René Lévesque 1980
- Jacques Parizeau 1995

Both Quebec separatists who nearly destroyed Canada.

Today, Danielle Smith will join their ranks.

Wtf is Bundibugyo virus and why should you care?

1. It’s a type of ebolavirus
2. This outbreak is very bad already and we don’t know how big it is
3. We’re about to enter the find out stage of #MAHA #FAFO. And the US has a lot to account for.

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

An Alberta judge has just struck down a petition for an independence referendum in response to a legal challenge by First Nations.

We may never find out how many signatures separatists really got, but their question will not go forward.

Premier Smith has some decisions to make.

Do Dogs Love Humans Back?

If you have a dog in your house, and it's anything like our family with Bunsen and Beaker, the humans all ADORE the dogs.

They get kisses and pets and belly rubs without question.

BUT do Bunsen and Beaker love us back?

Let's GO!

Again, Legislative committee again asked that I, the proponent of the #ForeverCanadian petition, appear before the committee to answer any questions that the Premier or committee may have.

UCP MLAs voted against me appearing and testifying again.

What are they scared of?

Yesterday, the UCP caucus confirmed that one of the Premier’s own staff members did, in fact, attend the Centurion Project meeting on April 16.

That meeting provided volunteers with training on how to use the separatist project database at the centre of the breach of three million Albertans’ electoral data.

It’s World #HandHygiene Day.

Did you know that sepsis, blood stream infections, surgical site infections and others can be prevented with hand hygiene action and other infection prevention measures?

Save lives, clean your hands!

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

#ForeverCanadian will win this fight fairly and legally, despite the cheating. They’re throwing everything at us: Premier’s interference. Foreign interference. And now Alberta list of voters handed over to them.

We need your help!

Canada calls official bilingualism a national virtue. What if it’s really a gatekeeping system? https://t.co/VEiOh9GuaL

It was a bit windy out so the mail kept blowing over my nose! 💌 It ended up with my snoot stamp on it.

I should charge extra for snoot stamps! 🐾❤️🐾

Retweet if you think snoot stamps should be offered by the post office

Admin Post:
Yesterday a dog walk to the mailbox was cut short because somebody decided to back their trailer into a driveway and their big red truck blocked the sidewalk. Went to see if it was gone today but I couldn't get that far. Guess what was blocking the sidewalk? 🤦‍♀️

We have a very scientific explanation of how Artemis II will slow down and land on Earth today.

"For fluff sakes! Seriously? Again?!" 🤬🤬🤬🤬

That’s what my human growled through gritted teeth as her blood pressure launched into orbit. I could smell the frustration from three houses away.

It was such a beautiful afternoon—no snow, sidewalks finally clear, perfect WalkNRoll weather and we were on our innocent little mailbox adventure like the polite citizens we are. Then we hit the corner and… plot twist.

Some absolute legend had parked their massive truck + trailer combo smack across the entire sidewalk, backed right up to the garage. Zero gap. Zero mercy. Not even room for my glorious fluffy self to wiggle through and assess the situation. Definitely no room for a power wheelchair.

We’ve dealt with the usual suspects: cars half-parked like they own the sidewalk, snow mountains declaring war, construction zones that look like a demolition derby… but today took the prize for “Let me just casually block accessibility for hours because I felt like it.”

We tried waiting it out. Sniffed every blade of grass between there and home like it was a gourmet tasting menu. Played in the driveway. Came back over half an hour later… still parked like it had signed a lease.

My human doesn’t blow up often, but when she does? She dropped some words that made my sweet, innocent rottie ears want to file for emotional damages. I just sat there giving her my best professional “I’m a good girl and this is above my pay grade” stare.

Hey, sidewalk hoggers: We’re not demanding a throne or a parade route. Just don’t block the sidewalk in the first place. Don’t assume everyone can just go around you, detour through grass, or turn into an off-road warrior. Leave the path clear — it’s not that complicated.

If you see someone in a wheelchair (or any mobility device) out and about, remember: the sidewalk is for everyone, not your temporary parking spot. My delicate ears (and my human’s vocabulary) would greatly appreciate it.

Tag every friend who parks like a menace and anyone who needs a reality check. And if this truck in the photo belongs to you… oops! Next time maybe move as soon as you've loaded or just drop the trailer and park the truck on the road instead of blocking the whole world. And be grateful my human wasn't carrying a full 💩 bag. She has amazing aim.

Drop a 🔥 if you’re tired of this nonsense and a 🐾 if you’re team “clear the path”!

This photo has a very personal meaning for me if you care to read it.

I saw a photo from @johnkrausphotos on reddit nearly a decade ago of the engines on a Falcon Heavy launch. I was working at a tough sales job at the time. The shot inspired me to learn more about space and spaceflight.

Shortly after, I bought my first telescope. I saw Jupiter, Saturn, and Nebulae, and started social media accounts where I shared my amateur photos.

Then I was laid off, and Covid happened. Moved from Sacramento to Arizona for clearer skies, cheaper cost of living, and a chance to go all-in on space photography. My audience started to grow.

Then, NASA contacted me, asking me if they could use some of my moon photos for something called Artemis. I said yes.

During the Artemis I rollout my DMs blew up “Andrew- your photo is on the Mobile Launch Platform!”. Now I knew that astrophotography wasn’t enough… I should probably pay attention to spaceflight. I spent a lot coming out to the first launch attempt, which would be my first rocket launch if it flew. Sadly, it was a scrub.

I came home from Florida, sharing my stories of touring the VAB and facilities with my grandfather, who worked on Apollo. He passed shortly after, which affected my ability to return to watch the SLS flew.

Feeling bummed out, I focused back on my deep sky work, but then I started hearing about something called “Starship”. I caught a video from @Erdayastronaut where a rocket ship fell through the air belly-first and flipped upright and landed. Inspired, I knew I had to witness one of these machines fly, so I flew to Starbase the moment I could afford it, which was for the second fully integrated flight test.

The moment Starship lifted off the pad, I was hooked. There was nothing quite like the experience. I did everything I could to catch every launch I could, and worked to become credentialed media to get better access.

Last year I flew from Arizona to Florida & Texas over a dozen times specifically to sharpen my launch photography skills with our first human spaceflight to the moon in over 50 years looming.

A decade of preparation for a split second moment. When I picked up my camera from the launch pad yesterday morning and peeked at what was captured, I knew it was all worth it.

Thank you, NASA, Artemis, and the all people who inspired me along the way.

This is still only the beginning.

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

.@ABDanielleSmith Premier, you seem to be the only one confused about the intention of the #ForeverCanadian petition. Some 500,000 Albertans unequivocally requested a vote in #ableg, not a referendum. Let’s stop the divisive politics!

Maybe this letter will help you understand:

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

Canada is the envy of the world—we’re incredibly lucky to call it home. But separatism threatens our identity, our economy, and our security. Now is the time to stand up for Canada. Please sign up as #ForeverCanadian 🇨🇦

Orion will now separate from the upper stage (ICPS). The expended stage will have one final use before it is disposed and burns in Earth’s atmosphere— the crew will use it as a target to test Orion’s manual piloting.
