I am in awe that people still race Penny Farthings. Every year—including this past February 2026. On purpose. The thing has a giant front wheel, no real brakes, and if you hit a rough patch, you’re going headfirst over the bars — they actually call that a “header.” The World Championship course in Eastbourne is nearly 3 miles uphill. One gear. No brakes. Riders show up in full Victorian kit like it’s totally normal.
The art of riding a high-wheeler is the art of falling gracefully.
Luxembourg is now the second country to enshrine abortion rights in its constitution! 🇱🇺✨ France was the first to do so, and I hope other countries will follow suit.
This is a roadmap for how it should be everywhere—protecting freedom in the highest law so it’s “protected forever,” not just “legal for now.”
As MP Marc Baum put it:
“We see throughout the world that women’s rights are in the firing line. This vote in the chamber is historic. It’s also about what side of history we are on. It’s whether we are willing and capable to defend out democratic values.”
A massive win for equality! 👏
Gonna check the TV series out—Half Man Season 1. 🍿 On April 23 on HBO. I hope it is a good series.
I was using my iPhone 12 Max and found copying and pasting difficult when I needed to use three or more items. On Android, it’s easier because I can access copy history and paste five or six items when I needed them. I’m glad I have an Android; without it, I would find it frustrating.
Those photos from Artemis II were amazing!!! Those are my two favorite photos:

Watched Pretty Lethal!
Thrilled to see Millicent Simmonds (A Quiet Place) as a consistent Deaf character! Uma Thurman as a campy hotelier/ballerina was a complete surprise.
It’s disgusting that Trump is showing kids that video of himself after getting shot at a rally during the election season at Easter. What kind of man does that? shaking my head
