Light always prevails! A short lived moment of breathtaking beauty as a granite outcrop in Patagonia's Torres del Paine catches fire, in the endless struggle between light and darkness.

I think all these men who benefited financially from proximity to Epstein POST CONVICTION OF PEDOPHILIA should have to pay reparations to his victims, whether they abused women and children or not.
They all knew what was going on, and help legitimize him with their association.

Talking to the Moon
I’ve been talking to the moon, not because it answers. The moon listens.
Somewhere between my words and it’s light, something softens.
The ache doesn’t vanish, but eases a little.
I’m not put in the spotlight, but in the glow of the moon.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
Meanwhile, thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined.

#MosaicMonday - The Shell Mosaic, a striking Roman floor panel from the Roman city of Verulamium in Britannia. It depicts a scallop shell and was designed to fit into a semicircular room, most probably the apse of an oecus, a hall for receiving guests. It is dated to around c. AD 150.

A golden retriever named Bronson, who passed from bone cancer, donated his wheelchair to a dog named Brue who is battling the same cancer and recently became paralyzed. Brue got used to it very quickly, and now she's running for both of them. 14/10 for all (IG: grizzlybane)
