My God... quite the rescue mission!

The hardest rescue mission our teams have been called to? This operation to haul a bull elephant out of a sinkhole is up there. It unfolded last month when the Kenya Wildlife Service received reports of a trapped bull in Chakama. One of our pilots flew to the scene, where he met the Kulalu Anti-Poaching Team and KWS. It was a complicated situation: the bull was stuck shoulder-deep and, while he couldn't escape, he could move around inside, which made it challenging for teams to position the straps needed to free him. After consulting Dr Limo of the SWT/KWS Tsavo Mobile Vet Unit – who was occupied with another operation – they opted to keep trying without anaesthetising the bull. Finally, the team managed to loop straps behind him and attach them to a vehicle. Inch by inch, they pulled him from his muddy trap. Your support helped fund every aspect of this life-saving mission – find out how you can be part of our next one: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org

"We are going to have to re-examine the value of NATO for our country (...) Ultimately, that's a decision for the president to make." - Rubio.
Says the man who wrote the law preventing Trump, or any president, from leaving NATO unilaterally.

Recently my husband & I saw similar while driving down from Portland Maine to New York.
I'm not sure there's anything as important right now as stopping this poisoning. As Dane Wigington @GeoWatchNews states, the bees are almost all gone now.

Take a look at the skies over Majorca yesterday. Lots of lovely ‘natural’ clouds. Still waiting for a name for them from the UK MET office. Sent to me by an ex-pat co-conspirator.

@MommaBerry247 @PrometheanActn I'm a disaffected Democrat myself. Doesn't mean I'm down for Trump's tantrum style of leadership as the only option. Think of Putin's approach: intelligent, tough but still a statesman. I don't like to be forced into assuming that blowing up an entire civilization is a bluff.

While a million people spread a death hoax about Trump on Easter Saturday, U.S. forces pulled two downed airmen out of Iran and four astronauts rounded the Moon. That's what desperation vs. the Right Stuff looks like.

This would be an excellent castle for my film project, "Ophelia's Room!"

Construction of Medieval Castles still blows my mind. For example, here’s Bamburgh Castle in England from the 11th century!

I've always liked the sound of the term "Maundy Thursday." It sounds solemn somehow.
Here's a painting to commemorate the day of the last supper.

The "Readers added context" needs "Readers added context," since it's fueled by misinformation. See decades-long researcher/expert in geoengineering, Dane Wigington @GeoWatchNews. Watch his documentary "The Dimming." Get a clue! rumble.com/v5kcj59-the-di…

As Governor, I would sign legislation into law, like Florida and Tennessee, to ban chemtrails. Supporting legislation to protect the air we breathe is just common sense. South Carolina STRONG: nancymace.org/nancy-mace-bac…

Daily Dutch Masters 🎨@Goudriaan2
In the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age, the small city of Delft produced a distinctive school of painters. They captured calm, everyday scenes with masterful light and perspective. Johannes Vermeer became the most famous. His View of Delft shows the city glowing under a vast sky. #ArtHistory #DutchGoldenAge

I agree. Perfectly lovely portrait.

My favorite Gloria Swanson pic, taken by Edward Steichen in 1924. At the end of the photo session, he hung a piece of lace in front of her face: "She recognized the idea at once... You don’t have to explain things to a dynamic and intelligent personality like Miss Swanson." #botd

@Goudriaan2 The eyes captivate, that's the first thing that comes to mind--her over-the-shoulder gaze. The dark background brings to the foreground the elegant, soft beauty of the entire figure. I also think the 2003 film masterfully done: youtube.com/watch?v=gCDE4O… #Violetology #VioletOnFilm

3/3
Though modest in size, the painting continues to captivate. It now hangs in Room 15 of the Mauritshuis, where visitors often pause longer than they intend.
More than 350 years after it was made, the girl still seems present — her expression poised between turning toward us and away.
If you have the chance to visit The Hague, seeing her in person reveals the subtle power of Vermeer’s technique in a way no reproduction can match.
What draws you most to this painting?
English
1/3
Johannes Vermeer painted Girl with a Pearl Earring around 1665. The small oil on canvas, measuring just 44.5 by 39 centimetres, has been part of the Mauritshuis collection in The Hague since 1903.
It is not a portrait of a specific person. In the 17th century this type of work was known as a “tronie” — a study of a character or expression, here a young woman in exotic dress with an oriental turban and a large pearl earring.
Her direct yet gentle gaze, turned over one shoulder, has drawn viewers for centuries. But the painting holds quieter secrets that reward a closer look.

Wild elephants visited Kaikai's little mud bath in the night. By morning, only their tracks remained — great platter-sized footprints pressed into the earth. When Kaikai arrived for her midday wallow, she stepped straight into one of them. All four of her tiny feet fit inside a single print. One day, she will leave footprints like that herself. Right now, she is less than a year old, rescued from the Maasai Mara in May 2025 after her mother died of natural causes. She arrived hungry and frightened, a week-old calf with no one to nurse from. She arrived at Kaluku, found her Keepers, and decided — fairly quickly — that she was the centre of the universe. By adopting Kaikai, you become part of the journey between those two sets of footprints — the tiny ones she leaves today, and the ones she will leave when she is wild and grown.

@MorigeauJanine @YouTube I was wondering whether you & Jean Claude were keeping up with Promethean Action, who are tracking the UK/City of London's central role in all that's playing out both real time & historically speaking. (They fall short re: technological control grid, Palantir, mRNA tech, etc.)

Today, our quiet girls were having a pool party! Akina is a reserved elephant by nature, but the mud bath is her time to shine. She loves water and she loves to show off in it. In fact, we often find her loitering around the pool, just waiting for the other orphans to vacate so she can have it all to herself. As the herd headed into the bush this afternoon, Akina noticed Rokka lagging behind in the water. She about-turned to join her friend, and the two girls enjoyed a splashy show-off session. The Keepers enjoyed the spectacle! Every elephant seen here is an orphan. While each suffered a unique tragedy, they found a family with us – one that will continue to love and support them through their lives. Meet the herd: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans

She climbed 180 feet into a 1,000-year-old redwood—and refused to come down. In December 1997, Julia “Butterfly” Hill stepped onto two small wooden platforms high in a tree called Luna. What was meant to be a short protest became 738 days of isolation, endurance, and defiance. No walls. No heat. Just sky. She survived 90 mph El Niño winds, freezing rain, and constant harassment from loggers below. Supplies were pulled up by rope. Sleep came in fragments. Every day was a test of how long one person could hold their ground. But she stayed. Not just for a tree—but for what it stood for: ancient life, fragile ecosystems, and the power of refusing to move. After more than two years, it worked. A $50,000 agreement with Pacific Lumber was reached, protecting Luna and a 200-foot buffer zone from logging. One woman. One tree. And a line that wouldn’t be crossed. #archaeohistories
