  1. As we celebrate Sir David Attenborough becoming a #centenarian Friday 🎂🥳, may I humbly ask our #fediverse whether his voice has a calming and/or relaxing effect on you? It sure does for me and I suspect I'm not alone!🙏 #mastofriday #nature #filmastodon 👇

    #DavidAttenborough at 100: ‘The most consequential broadcaster of our times’
    "Sir David’s #voice with its unmistakable timbre was often the star of the #show"

  2. "When we invite people to dinner at our apartment, we ask them to come at seven and all but suggest that they leave by nine. One of us will joke that this is the time I start to drool, but the real reason is that from nine on I can no longer take part in a conversation." —Calvin Tomkins for The New Yorker

  11. My grandma passed away today at age 101. She was a lover *and* a fighter, and she lived an incredible life. I'm sad for those of us who no longer get to have her with us. But I'm glad for her that she no longer has to be in pain.
    Love you, Grandma. ♥️

  12. Rough week for my family. We are spending our days and nights on rotation, sitting vigil with Grandma, age 101. She is in her final days, and hospice says it won't be long now. We are all sad, exhausted, resigned. It's put me in mind of how removed USA society is from death, how death is sanitized here. We have ALL the buffers to keep its realities from us.

    And yet, we all will face it. None of us get out alive. Memento mori. Hug your beloveds.

  16. My beautiful grandmother-in-law, Joan, was born 100 years ago today in County Mayo, Republic of Ireland. I can’t be there for her birthday, so I was looking through photos and dug up this one from 9 years ago. It’s been too long since I’ve heard her stories in person ❤️
