Starting there with a shot of the Harvest Moon over Seattle in part because it's orange (apparently the remembrance color for Truth & Reconciliation Day in Canada) and also because earlier today so many of us told stories about topsy turvy sleep patterns in the midst of all this international chaos and so if it's likely that we're going to be awake at all hours, we can at least have something nice to look at
Also putting up this ^^ legend that gave me pause since as much as I point out that *at least* Canada and even South Africa *at least* "got it right" in their comparative sloganeering by *at least* having "Truth" preceding the "Reconciliation" part in their respective countries' proclamations when the U.S. cannot even seem to get that far -- and as exasperated as I get w/ European friends who love to point at racism in the U.S. in apparent order to deflect away from their own messes (the French are particularly exasperating in that regard, and the UK seems to have gotten worse and not better since Harry & Meghan keep succeeding at their endeavors in service and stubbornly refusing to fail -- it still appears that Canada also struggles with the deflection thing and would rather point at what's not getting done in the United States (and certainly today in particular of all days there is plenty to look at in the "what's not getting done" category; I would ask anyone who cares to go take the message to any ears open on the Hill that had the House expelled all 135 members of the Insurrectionist Caucus in January of 2021 when Rep Cory Bush drafted the resolution to do so, and acting like the Black woman hadn't said anything when she really had said a lot, we would have *none* of the problems we have at this exact instant with government funding, including Ukraine aid; the problems in the form of the people creating the problems literally would not be there) than actually take action to address the country's own apparent internal problems with admitting what actually happened and taking reparative action to benefit citizens generationally harmed
