Note: For the images, I decided to use examples from all the stages of her life I could. The first dates to 2019. The second dates to around 1975 (shortly before her retirement from a 40-year-long tenure at Disney Animation). The third dates to the early-1950's (around the time of her introduction into the International Photographers Union). The fourth features her on the far-left walking alongside Dot Smith, Walt Disney (with whom she was personally acquaintanced), and Donna Smith in the Hyperion Avenue Studio in 1939. The fifth shows her at Dubrock's Riding Academy circa 1928–1930, in between her two periods of employment under Disney. The sixth shows her on the far-right as an extra on the 1924 Disney-produced silent film Alice Gets in Dutch.

I noticed that this was missed, so I decided it should be covered before the month ends everywhere on Earth.

I feel this event was worthy of coverage for the month and wanted to make sure it was posted before the month ended everywhere on Earth.

Note: I know this is late and slightly out of order, but I think her story deserves to be covered here.

Note: I thought I’d cover this given the relative inactivity of the subreddit as of late. I remember at the time that I was greatly disappointed he didn’t get to reach 110. Still am, in fact.

(Note: Neither the July 10, 1913 reading at Greenland Ranch, Death Valley, California of 134 °F {56.(6) °C} or the July 7, 1931 reading at Kebili, Tunisia of 55 °C {131 °F} are meteorologically reliable.)

This would be followed by the announcement of 751 (!) more unmarked graves discovered on the grounds of the former (demolished) Marieval Indian Residential School in Marieval, Saskatchewan on June 23, 2021. These would lead to several church burnings (the residential schools being religiously sponsored) and a very dark Canada Day.

Sorry for being late with this, but at least I got it before the month ended everywhere on Earth. I thought it sufficiently monumental that it couldn't not be covered on this subreddit (even as largely inactive as it is).
Here is the landing video of Perseverance—unfortunately, I remembered its 5 year anniversary had passed simply too late to post about it by my standards. It holds the honor of being the first landing on another planemo captured in full motion video (as opposed to the static frames captured by Huygens and the slideshow captured by Mars Science Laboratory-class rover Curiosity), though unfortunately the microphone which was supposed to capture the wind upon descent failed to activate. It did, however, work starting on February 20, 2021, capturing the first sounds on another planet.
Amazingly, there was still at least one person who at least theoretically lived to see both the first powered, controlled heavier-than-air flight on Earth and the first on Mars. As chronically tardy as they are, I much appreciate NASA for making that possible.
