A great life, a true survivor.
Valérie André, French 'Helicopter Heroine' and army medic, dies at 102

@gobluerev.bsky.social Is the orange one getting crazier than usual because he is jealous of the attention the fire is getting? He's not seeing the nonstop coverage of his silliness that he is used to, so he's escalating until we pay attention. Think so?
