TNFro Is Back Podcasting from the Gulf Shores of Alabama…

It feels good sitting in the sun with the waves and gulls as my background music. If I have to prolong my personal shelter in place, I am doing my way.

F.A.A.F.O. Has A Fro…Setting Intentions in 2026, From GungHo to Bruh No Scams, Getting Into My Self Expression Bag. – feliciabaxter

New Year Of Intentions, Nertz to Resolutions. Why start the year lying? Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.       -Alice Morse Earle- Let's get anti-inflammatory!  Drinking hot lemon water in the morning is a popular ritual that offers several practical health benefits, though it is often surrounded by some common myths. While it isn't a "miracle cure," it is an excellent way to kickstart your body’s essential functions. Myth vs. Reality The Claim The Reality "It detoxes your body." Your liver and kidneys handle detoxing 24/7. Lemon water doesn't "flush" toxins, but its hydrating effect helps your kidneys filter waste more easily. "It melts fat/boosts metabolism." There is no evidence that lemon water directly burns fat. However, it can help with weight management by replacing high-calorie drinks or reducing hunger before a meal. "It alkalizes your blood." While lemon juice is alkalizing after metabolism, it cannot change the pH level of your blood (which is strictly regulated by your body). ADD The Anti-Inflammatory Duo: Turmeric & Black Pepper Turmeric is famous for curcumin, a compound with powerful anti-inflammatory effects. However, curcumin is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb on its own. The Science: Adding a pinch of black pepper contains piperine, which has been shown to increase curcumin absorption by up to 2,000%. Goal: Reducing joint pain and systemic inflammation. How to add: 1/4 tsp turmeric powder + a crack of fresh black pepper. 2. The Digestive Aid: Fresh Ginger Ginger contains gingerol, which has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s particularly effective at soothing the digestive tract and reducing "gut inflammation." The Benefit: It stimulates digestive enzymes and can help reduce bloating or morning nausea. Goal: Improved gut health and reduced muscle soreness. Combining red-fleshed apples (such as the Redlove or Weirouge varieties) with celery in a juice creates a potent, anti-inflammatory beverage that is nutritionally superior to standard green apple and celery mixes. While regular apples have white flesh, red-fleshed apples are "bio-fortified" by nature, containing significantly higher levels of antioxidants throughout the entire fruit, not just the skin. People work hard to steal money. After a year of reflection, I’m back with a sound that feels like home. "Hold Me Close" is officially out—think cinematic soul meets raw, intimate storytelling.

Delay in podcasting because real life this past week is so much worse than fiction or dreaming about launching into space.

I would rather be a stowaway one of the SpaceX launches.

Elon have you bumped your head? Boy Bye.

But stumbled across a tidbit of information about something called Rideshare SpaceX venture. For a cool 1 million bones you can take an Uber to the stars to get your satellite into space. 1 million bones for the first 200kg with an additional 5K per additional kilo. Holy smokes.

Habitat 2, Radishes in Space

NASA Hubble…Even the Telescope has a presence on Instagram…

Orion Nebula…

Taken directly from nasa.gov

Gaseous swirls of hydrogen, sulfur, and hydrocarbons cradle a collection of infant stars in this composite image of the Orion Nebula, as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space telescope. Together, the two telescopes expose carbon-rich molecules in the cosmic cloud of this star-formation factory located 1,500 light-years away.

Hubble’s ultraviolet and visible-light view reveal hydrogen and sulfur gas that have been heated and ionized by intense ultraviolet radiation from the massive stars, collectively known as the “Trapezium.” Meanwhile, Spitzer’s infrared view exposes carbon-rich molecules in the cloud. Together, the telescopes expose the stars in Orion as a rainbow of dots sprinkled throughout the image.”

Apropo for the Death of the Green Chick on Star Trek Discovery this past week in the season finale…Next section is full of spoilers if you have not watched ST Discovery Season Finale

Star Trek Corner…

Lucky Episode 13…That Hope is You Part 2…Wait did I see Part 1?

Umm, yeah that was the Season Opener, bookend by the Season Finale. Bravo. Ding Dong the Witch is dead…The Witch in the Wizard of Oz and Osyraa both green…was that intentional? In summary, unable to jump away without Stamets, but with the help of Book, named after his idol Cleveland Booker…no clue who that is. But need to see more of him.

Osyraa fights her way out of Federation headquarters and shuts off life support for the bridge crew. Despite this, Tilly and the bridge crew is able to plant a bomb in one of the ship’s nacelles with the help of the Sphere data, dropping Discovery from warp. Burnham makes her way to the ship’s data core, kills Osyraa in a fight, and resets the computer systems. She turns life support back on and beams all Emerald Chain fighters off the ship. The Emerald Chain collapses after Osyraa’s death, and planets begin to rejoin the Federation. Discovery sets out to bring dilithium from the nebula to planets that have been cut off by the Burn.Aurellio, after a change in heart, suggests that Book could use the spore drive with his empathic abilities, and they jump to the nebula. Saru helps Su’Kal turn the simulation off and come to terms with the death of his mother, as his reaction to that is what caused the Burn, just as Discovery arrives. Burnham was right all along. Finding the source of the burn and neutralizing it was important to preserving the Federation. Saru decides to help Su’Kal start a new life on Kaminar. The Emerald Chain collapses after Osyraa’s death, and planets begin to rejoin the Federation. Discovery sets out to bring dilithium from the nebula to planets that have been cut off by the Burn. Burnham is promoted to captain which sets up the storyline for Season 4.

Because of his demeanor Sa’ru and resistance to thinking outside of the box, I don’t think he is capable of navigating all the intricacies of rebuilding the Federation in the 31st century But a Black woman, raised by Vulcans, and molded by Phillipa Georgio might just have what it takes.

You know, as I reflect on the original Star Trek Series and every spin off from Next Generation, Picard, and now Discovery are people having so much trouble with this series because again the cast and production crews are a reflection of society, with women and men of color in leadership roles and reflecting an idealized society fighting against evil and corruption? Are your egos so fragile you can’t see the beauty of this series and simple message of hope and unity? Before you cast a disparaging review, reflect on why you are player hating this series so much.

Why I admire First Lady Obama…Went in on that Orange Hued Fool, his enablers, the rioters, and the rest of us.

I am reflecting on true leadership, grace, and I want to rise to the occasion. I can’t be immobilized by the hatred and fear, I have to keep it moving.
