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. See for yourself on the NoChaser TV Instagram Page.

NASA Image of the Day

Hubble The Gift That Keeps on Giving

New Chandra observations have been used to make the first detection of X-ray emission from young stars with masses similar to our Sun outside our Milky Way galaxy. The Chandra observations of these low-mass stars were made of the region known as the “Wing” of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), one of the Milky Way’s closest galactic neighbors. In this composite image of the Wing the Chandra data is shown in purple, optical data from the Hubble Space Telescope is shown in red, green and blue and infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope is shown in red. Astronomers call all elements heavier than hydrogen and helium – that is, with more than two protons in the atom’s nucleus – “metals”. The Wing is a region known to have fewer metals compared to most areas within the Milky Way. The Chandra results imply that the young, metal-poor stars in NGC 602a produce X-rays in a manner similar to stars with much higher metal content found in the Orion cluster in our galaxy.

Black Excellence In Space

First Black Astronaut with extended stay mission at ISS

Victor Glover, a Navy pilot who has accumulated 3,000 flight hours in more than 40 aircraft, over 400 carrier arrested landings and 24 combat missions, took his first spacewalk on Thursday, Jan. 28, 2021. In this image, he works to ready the International Space Station‘s port-side truss structure for future solar array upgrades.

The colors represent wavelengths of light across a broad spectrum. X-rays from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory are shown in purple; visible-light from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope is colored red, green and blue; and infrared observations from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope are also represented in red.

Star Trek Corner

Ships of Star Trek

Star Trek Voyager, Nova Class

Ok, I felt some kind of way when I found this series was placed on a rival network and then given so much press and support than DS9 but really didn’t have ratings to support the hype. But think about it…a multi-species crew with a Vulcan tactical officer

and a Native American first officer

thrown into the uncharted Delta Quadrant with no support and unable to communicate with Star Fleet headed by a skinny white girl with a bun, then a bob, then back to a bun and then settling on a basic blow out by Season 7?

They try to uphold Starfleet rules in a place where the Federation doesn’t even exist, it would be trite if not noble. I am up to Season 2 Episode 20, mind you this is 1997 or 1998 and Neelix has Starfleet Podcast of sort

Granted many themes I think are problematic, with Captain Save a Ho, is some white chick from another universe with the lilly white bread polly-anna StarFleet ideals being applied to the rough and “dark” lawless Delta Quadrant. Why are the most ruthless villains always brothers or Kazons?

And why do we need the lighter complected Star Fleet Captains to save the aliens from their own destruction and restore order? What order when these races and civilizations are older and more advanced than anything in the Alpha Quadrant? But these ragtag group of Marque, spies, and Starfleet officers experience things beyond comprehension, because again, nothing in their training could prepare them for any anomaly in the Delta Quadrant. It makes for great TV.

Books of Voyager

The Star Trek creators were wholy invested in this series even down to the novels based on themes from the episodes.
