Hello! I am a friendly, progressive, secular Canadian. 😀👋✌️

My focus is Canadian/US politics, but humour and animal related posts are a welcome balance.

I'm an avid reader, a fan of black & white movies, and a music lover. It's always a pleasure to meet like-minded folks!

Aviator Kathrine Stinson was born #OTD in 1891.

✈️ 1st pilot to perform night skywriting, 1915
✈️ 1st American woman to "loop-the-loop"
✈️ Set non-stop distance record (606 mi, 1917), outperforming all previous US pilots
✈️ 1st woman appointed a US Air Mail pilot on a regular route

#AviationHistory
A historic black-and-white photograph of pioneering American aviator Katherine Stinson (the "Flying Schoolgirl"), captured in the 1910s during the early days of aviation. She stands in front of the propeller of her open-cockpit biplane, one hand gripping the edge of the large wooden propeller, beaming with a wide, joyful smile. Stinson, a young woman in her 20s with long braided hair, wears a long woolen coat, gloves, and a distinctive checkered newsboy-style cap tilted at a jaunty angle. An inset close-up portrait in the lower left shows her in a smaller framed photo, smiling warmly in similar attire with a flying helmet or cap, highlighting her youthful determination and charisma. The image captures the daring spirit of one of the earliest female pilots in the U.S., who earned her license in 1912, became the first woman to fly mail, perform a loop-the-loop in America, and tour internationally in Asia—breaking barriers in a male-dominated field just a decade after the Wright brothers' first flight.

This is what every single street in Washington DC should look like right now. Every able bodied American available demanding trump to step down. Wall to wall protest.

Pastor Chuck Baldwin, served as the national chaplain for the Oath Keepers. He was a prominent figure in the "Patriot" movement, aligning closely with O.K. founder Stewart Rhodes, and often spoke at events advocating for the formation of local militias to combat perceived federal gov. overreach.

Haven’t posted in a bit because Sam isn’t well. She’s been declining for awhile and we’re facing some tough decisions so I am just hanging out with my best friend, giving her lots of love and hoping I make the right ones 💔

It’s called fashion, Punky Brewster says so.
