I sometimes misspelled "Pikidiary" as "Pikidairy".

Happy Vesak Day, 12 May, 2025 for the Buddhists who are celebrating. ☸️

If we want to be honest, Europe actually owes a huge debt to Poland, and also to Lithuania to a lesser extent. Don't forget what happened in 1683.

Kindness is as easy as giving a reaction to a post on an social networking site (SNS).

The nest of the mud-dauber wasps that I found in between my pile of books. Usually I like to crush their abandoned nests but this one is really nice, a work of nature's art, it's beautiful. The most likely species is Asian mud-dauber wasp (Sceliphron curvatum).

Their nests are structurally fragile, that's why i like to crush them with my fingers. Although they are parasitoids (not to humans), they are useful in reducing spiders. But yeah, I try to avoid them as much as possible, just as they avoid me because I'm human.

Habemus papam! Pope Leo XIV, previously Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, has became the 267th head of the Roman Catholic Church and 9th head of the Vatican City State on 8 May, 2025. He is the first pope from North American continent (United States). He is the first pope from Order of Saint Augustine (OSA). He is also the first pope from an English-speaking country since Pope Adrian IV from England began his papacy in 1154, so it's over 850 years later.

Of course this is a great joy for all adherents of Roman Catholic Church and for entire Christianity as well. After two days of the 2025 Papal Conclave on 7 May and 8 May, 2025, our current pope was elected on the second day on the fourth ballot. Since the white smoke appeared from the Sistine Chapel, about 40,000 or more people entered St. Peter's Square in less than an hour, according to local news.

I, you, we all hope that Pope Leo XIV can continue the work of Pope Francis. Also considering that he took the name "Leo" as his papal name, I have a good feeling that he could be progressive. It has been chosen 13 times before. The first one, Leo I, and the last one before him, Leo XIII, were great reformers. Leo I was mostly famous for his meeting with Attila the Hun and his "Leo's Tome" while Leo XIII was mostly famous for his encyclical "Rerum Novarum".

Pope Leo I, or also known as Leo the Great, the pope from 450 to 461, was very influential in early church history. His Leo's Tome, a document sent to Flavian of Constantinople, explains the position of the papacy in matters of Christology. It was a topic of debate at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 and later accepted as the doctrinal explanation of the nature of Jesus Christ until now.

Pope Leo XIII, the pope from 1878 to 1903, was also a great reformer. His Rerum Novarum (literally means "of revolutionary change") supports workers' rights and considered a foundational text of modern Catholic social teaching. From that Pope Leo XIII was known as the "pope of the workers". Beside of that, he firmly reasserted the scholastic doctrine that science and religion coexist. He was also a great diplomat, improving the church's relationship with modern nations at that time.

Pope Leo XIV is very capable to commit to many social issues that the word are currently facing now like climate change and wars. I believe that his election was a geopolitical move by the Vatican, because his birthplace, the United States, is currently getting worse in social issues because of the current government. I believe that it was the intention of the cardinals who elected him. All the best for him. 🇻🇦✝️

Happy Victory Day, 8 May, 2025. Today marks 80 years since the Allied victory in Europe over fascism and Nazism in World War II.

Homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia are crimes!

The 2025 Papal Conclave will be held on Wednesday, 7 May, 2025. I hope that the next pope can continue the work of Pope Francis, including openness and tolerance towards the LGBTQ+ community. 🇻🇦✝️
