Seriously, friend!

I hope better days are coming and that today was kind to you!

Noting that today is - among other things - Red Dress Day, Dutch Liberation Day, Danish Liberation Day and Cinco de Mayo. Whatever you're observing in whatever way today, may the day be kind to you.

[personal profile] ride_4ever reminded me that Due South fans may want to note the recurrence of the Eleventh of March tomorrow.

The Vulgarian's making a point to ignore that fact, so I'm pointedly observing the day as Dr. King's Day. Any recommendations for material to view/listen to via YouTube?

I've noted this before: in 2002, on Christmas Day, my father died of metastasized renal cell cancer. Some forty years earlier, a cousin of mine was born on Christmas Day.

The day has been a mixed blessing for my extended family across the decades, and I wait and wonder what twists the occasion will bring this time.

And so...here is us again. Those of us still here, anyway.

It's been a wild year, running the full range of emotion from joy to despair.

I wish you the best possible greetings of the Season, by whatever Name(s) you choose to honour it. I wish you peace, hope, wisdom, freedom, justice, and love. If you do not find them, may they find you and may it bring joy to you when they do.

I have been reminded by the writings of Heather Cox Richardson that yesterday - before I originally wrote this entry - was that day.

More later, I expect.

I get reminded that it's this month - July - just as it's ending.

Not feeling great about that for a number of reasons, some of which we've discussed here.

According to Shoppers Drug Mart's mailing list for customers, as well as last night's Caregivers' Support Group meeting, yesterday was National Self-Care Day?

By way of explanation to non-Canadians:

We don't have a holiday as such for this. We do have ceremonies of observance.

I've been reminded that - per the movie of the same name - it's the anniversary of Zefram Cochrane's first warp flight aboard the Phoenix and the officially-recognized first contact with the V'Tosh - we call them "Vulcans".

May you have found today satisfactory.

Including and not limited to:

Easter Sunday
Trans Day of Visibility
Indigenous Languages Day
75th Anniversary of Newfoundland + Labrador's Accession to the Canadian Confederation
The Disbanding of the Warsaw Pact
World Backup Day

I suspect you'll have additions to this list!

...I understand that this is also the anniversary of the births of notables such as Humphrey Bogart, Rod Serling, Jimmy Buffett, Sissy Spacek, CCH Pounder, Annie Lennox, Allanah Myles, and the brothers Justin and Alexandre Trudeau (in different years).

(Sadly, also, of Karl Rove.)

For those who care: this is the tenth anniversary of the launch of Agents of SHIELD and the sixth anniversary of the launch of Star Trek: Discovery. That coincidence shared by two TV series that I favour is worthy of some celebratory attention.

This annual event has come (back?) to my attention.

To those of you who celebrate having one or more cats in your lives, may today be kind to you and those cats, regardless of who belongs to whom.

Noting that today is July 4th. For those who consider themselves American or American-adjacent and who actively observe this anniversary for whatever reasons, happy or sad...I hope today is kind to you all.

Happier birthdays to [personal profile] lunabee34!

To those of you observing Juneteenth today, whether as celebration, commemoration, or some other way, I hope today is good for you!
