Times remain tough on all of us. It can be poor COVID-19 policy or antivaxxers or abortion legislation or armed conflicts. So in keeping with this latest trend of sharing nature experiences from #SriLanka for some peace - I’m sharing this. Pasikudah. Sunrise. Time lapse.

Non-global health but this is a nice piece on the artistic choice and approach in including a realistic depiction of adopting a dog in the Superman movie. Also “Google searches for “adopt a dog near me” jumped 513% during Superman’s opening weekend” Wow! .

IMF to provide Sri Lanka $350 million after fourth review of bailout. These reforms have created hardships for communities - including those that impact health & wellbeing. But alternatives seem less likely within current national/global status quo.

Really sad to have missed the once in a lifetime Nas concert with a full orchestra in MTL Jazz fest. Can’t be in two places at once, I guess.
