Today is the International Day of Disabilities. As a disabled Asgardian, inclusion, and consideration for my limitations are very important to me. I have been blessed to be able to work from home for Asgardia and the consideration they have afforded me has been incredible. I dream that Asgardia can lead by example in the future in this regard.

Since my weekly article Sci-fi Sunday was discontinued I have been trying to find the time to continue bringing entertainment news to the community. Well, today I finally had some time and Fiction Verified is now online. You can keep up to date with us on Facebook and Twitter so far. The website is underway and in the new year, I will be launching a podcast to go along with it.

Hello everyone! I have updated my by-election platform with a bit more information so you can get to know me better and understand my goals if elected.

Hello all! Fun fact about me, I am a gamer. I have been since I put a quarter in my first arcade game. Any other gamers out there in Asgardia? What games are you playing and have been your favourites in the past? I'm currently playing Baldur's Gate III but I regularly play FFXIV, Astroneer, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, and Legend of Zelda: BOTW. :)

I have decided to throw my hat into the ring during these by-elections. As Asgardians, it is our responsibility to raise our voices and help build our nation. I would like to help bring those voices into Parliament. I am more than willing to discuss with you my platform and hear your suggestions on how we can help Asgardia hear your voice. https://asgardia.space/elections/parliamentary-by-elections/candidates/50?-link-339635

I hope all Canadian Asgardians are having a great long weekend! Remember to be safe and social distance!

SpaceX has put online a docking simulator that allows you to get to know the controls that are used to dock their Dragon 2 vehicle with the ISS space station. This is pretty awesome and wouldn't it be amazing if we could develop simulators like this for Asgardia? https://iss-sim.spacex.com/

Hey Toronto Asgardians! Get your culture on from your car in the Immersive Van Gogh exhibition next month! This amazing exhibition will be housed at a Toronto Star warehouse that will allow people to drive their cars in and see it over a ten-day period during the Gogh by Car initiative from June 18 to 28. The exhibition will showcase many of the works of Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh using light, sound, and digital projections throughout the 600,000 square-foot space. Fourteen cars at a time will be able to fill up each 35-minute timeslot for the show which will ensure safe social distancing for participants. Tickets start their presale today and will go on general sale starting tomorrow. https://vangoghexhibit.ca/

Come on, admit it, who hasn't wanted to sit in the cockpit of the Millenium Falcon or view Naboo from a window on the Interceptor or plot your next takeover from the throne room on Exegol? Well, now you can, virtually, during those long work video conference meetings. (And hide that pile of laundry you can't be bothered with for a week.. or the dishes... or just cover up a plain white wall!) Disney and Lucasfilm recently released some amazing high-quality background images for people to use during their conference calls or as a desktop background if you're camera shy like me. https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-backgrounds They aren't the only entertainment company that have released video call backgrounds so if you're not into Star Wars, I've got you covered! Here are a few others that I've found around the internet: Pixar - https://twitter.com/Pixar/status/1244700787030274048 Top Gun - https://twitter.com/TopGunMovie/status/1243668426435911680 Sponge Bob Squarepants - https://twitter.com/SpongeBobMovie/status/1244756732955340800 CBS - https://twitter.com/CBS/status/1244625448195121153 Starz - https://twitter.com/STARZ/status/1244656513299304449 Studio Ghibli - http://www.ghibli.jp/info/013251/ Do you know of more places to get some amazing backgrounds for video calls? Share them in the comments below so your Asgardian compatriots can enjoy them as well!
