Persist and Consequence Shall Induce Itself Has A Fro…Calm, rooted and undisturbed; Golden Age of Grift Part 3-Hollywood Ponzi Scheme; Reunion Lerwks and Owning Your Light. – feliciabaxter

Starting with childhood hymns and a cleansing of the evil eye, this episode dives into the messy, "ghetto," but beautiful process of putting yourself back together piece by piece. Join me as I talk through leaning into gratitude, ignoring the haters (thanks for the algorithm boost!), holding people accountable to high standards, and guarding your peace at all costs. I’m sharing candid thoughts on self-regulation, building true independence, and tackling that sneaky imposter syndrome and fear of success that creeps in just as things start working out. Rooted, unbothered, and stepping into a new era of intentional calm—let's walk this path together. Sunday mornings on the ridge bring a profound stillness, a welcome respite after the week’s hustle. This weekend, the focus shifted from podcast production to personal restoration, involving movement, meditation, and nourishing rituals. Grounding in the present moment, I honor my lineage and find gratitude in the simple joys of life, carrying this sense of peace and purpose into the week ahead. #CountYourBlessings #Unbothered #SettingBoundaries#ImposterSyndrome#HealingJourney#ProtectYourPeace Jason Cloth, a Hollywood executive producer, ran a $100 million Ponzi scheme, exploiting his industry connections and reputation to deceive investors. Wealthy investors were misled by his credentials and proximity to fame, failing to scrutinize his financial practices. To protect against such scams, it’s crucial to maintain a vigilant, analytical mindset, separating creative credibility from financial transparency and demanding clear, verifiable information. I continue to discuss "circling the block" and finding yourself and peace while navigating your next Chapter in Terry McMillan's I Almost Forgot About You, a FBRoasters Subscription Book Selection.  The Bell Collective reunion looks were praised for their styling, with standout outfits from Letitia, Dr. Marie Monroe, and Carlos King. The author found the Real Housewives of OC boring and criticized Carrie Paul for being performative about her business struggles. The author also noted the improved dynamics among the Bell Collective cast members.

NASA Image of the Week

I was born August 24th making my astrological sign Virgo so imagine my surprise when this week’s NASA image is from the constellation Virgo over 50 million light years from Earth. Everytime I cruise this collection of images sent to us from the Hubble telescope, I think it pays for itself 50 million times over. More from NASA,

Despite the incredible quality of this image, taken from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, NGC 4535 has a hazy, somewhat ghostly, appearance when viewed from a smaller telescope. This led amateur astronomer Leland S. Copeland to nickname NGC 4535 the “Lost Galaxy” in the 1950s.

The bright colors in this image aren’t just beautiful to look at, as they actually tell us about the population of stars within this barred spiral galaxy. The bright blue-ish colors, seen nestled amongst NGC 4535’s long, spiral arms, indicate the presence of a greater number of younger and hotter stars. In contrast, the yellower tones of this galaxy’s bulge suggest that this central area is home to stars which are older and cooler. 

This galaxy was studied as part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) survey, which aims to clarify many of the links between cold gas clouds, star formation, and the overall shape and other properties of galaxies. On January 11, 2021 the first release of the PHANGS-HST Collection was made publicly available.  Well Lady’s First I dig it!

The hot fire is the final test of the Green Run test series, a comprehensive assessment of the Space Launch System’s core stage prior to launching the Artemis I mission to the Moon.

Jan. 21-22, 2020, crews at Stennis Space Center lifted and installed the first core stage of NASA’s new Space Launch System (SLS) rocket onto the B-2 Test Stand. In upcoming months, a top-to-bottom, integrated series of Green Run tests will be conducted on the stage and its sophisticated systems. Following testing, the stage will be used to help launch the maiden Artemis I test mission of SLS and the Orion spacecraft. Through the Artemis program, NASA will send humans, including the first woman and next man, to the Moon to establish a sustainable presence.

Star Trek Corner

Ships of Star Trek

I really need to get back into ST online and I can’t wait for the next season of Picard.

Ohhh this is a re-imagined intro to ST Voyager in HD, it’s pretty good!

STAR Trek Picard Season 2 Teaser…What in the damn hell???

Whoopi is back, 7 is back, Data don’t know if he coming back, Geordi and them back…I can’t even. I am most interested in the special effects, ships, if the Defiant will be wrecking -ish

Yes this is more to me than the little ship that could

in Deep Space 9, because Captain Ben Sisko was the first brother to anchor and entire ST series, and he did it with a hair cut that needed lining

but then he had fresh dome with a immaculate goatee towards the end.

He ended up being a Bajoran Prophet, makes sense to me because his mama was.

But isn’t that how it was from the beginning of the Star Trek Series, there has been an intersection of good versus evil and religion and technology and science. Very entertaining. One of my favorite spin-offs.
