I recently returned from a 11-day solo trip to the Canadian Rockies, returning through the Kootenays and Okanagan. And, I have to say, what’s out in my backyard of British Columbia and Alberta really stacks up with the best I’ve seen anywhere else. Always a sucker for a good circle tour, I made my way …
Seven planets are now aligning in the night sky in a rare conjunction event; Mercury, Venus, Uranus, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, and the Moon, which hasn’t occurred since 2004 and won’t happen again until 2040. And, they are visible in the order they are from the Sun! The five brightest planets – Mercury, Venus, Mars, …
Blessed be the sci-fi fruit. Check out two new shows that are truly out-of-this-world, and two rooted right here on terra firma. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Man, this new Star Trek is so much fun. I have to say, I enjoyed last week’s episode more than Obi-Wan Kenobi. Strange New Worlds harkens back to …
The brilliant Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) team has achieved brilliance again, bringing us the first image of the black hole at the center of our very own Milky Way galaxy – Sagittarius A*.

Hot on the heels of Heartstopper, Hulu’s new movie Crush delivers another heartwarming queer story – this time in the form of a high school rom-com.

The James Webb Telescope’s instruments are now fully aligned and focused! And, according to NASA, the “optical performance of the telescope continues to be better than the engineering team’s most optimistic predictions.” After nearly 25 years of development and a million mile do-or-die unfolding process in space this is music to my ears. To check …
Heartstopper on Netflix is pure AF. It is the cinnamon roll of television sweetness I didn’t know I needed. Based on Alice Oseman’s graphic novels of the same name, the first season follows two British teenagers, Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring, as they become friends and maybe something more. Charlie is an out teen who …
There was a month there where things were pretty dry on the TV-front and I delved deep into books. But, I’m pleased to report that time is over and books are for squares! Just kidding, but I’m back to the other rectangular entertainment box, and have these new watches to recommend: Julia I launched this …
Last year I spoke about how important representation is to feeling confident enough to express your own identity or grey areas. During the time when I was beginning to talk more about my own grey areas in 2020, I watched Netflix’s The Prom. And that’s where I first saw Ariana DeBose. The Prom cast two …
The past few weeks have been a bit dry on the TV front, but fortunately three new shows have recently come on my radar that I’ve really enjoyed and recommend checking out! The Dropout I went into The Dropout fairly blind. I knew Elizabeth Holmes was a person who was in the news a lot, …
