Tortoise shells have nerve endings and are sensitive to the slightest touch. This tortoise at Badger Run Wildlife Rehab loves to feel her shell scratched, so a kind volunteer made her a scratching device.

Just how anybody could look at the spring flowering trees and grasses, the abundant wild flowers and hear the exuberant birdsong and think let’s build all over it, is completely beyond my comprehension. #saveourcountryside

L’Ukraine transforme sa frontière biélorusse en forteresse imprenable. Des kilomètres de fortifications, champs de mines et fossés, des centaines de casemates blindées et de points de tir fortifiés verrouillent la frontière.
La Polissia ukrainienne est devenu une ligne défensive à plusieurs niveaux.
Les marécages, forêts et rivières naturelles achèvent de verrouiller le passage.
Malgré le calme apparent, Kyiv ne baisse pas la garde : Minsk reste un allié de Moscou et une menace potentielle.
Les soldats du groupement « Ouest » sont en alerte maximale, prêts à réagir à toute provocation.
V. Zelensky l’a confirmé : la Russie tente toujours d’entraîner la Biélorussie dans la guerre, avec des plans d’attaques vers Chernihiv, Kyiv… ou même l’OTAN.
Un plan de riposte spécial est en préparation.
La frontière nord est désormais une muraille.
« La paix ? Oui. La naïveté ? Jamais. »

James Talarico: “The only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God. Our faith in Jesus should lead us away from theocracy, tyranny, Christian nationalism and toward a multi-racial, multi-cultural democracy”
Our public libraries are a testament to government's ability to deliver excellent free services. But for too long, they've been forced to fight for budget scraps.
This year, we are changing that: I am proud to announce $31.7 million in new funding for our libraries.
Expect more staff, expanded hours, robust programming, and lots of copies of the Very Hungry Caterpillar for New York's Cutest.
The Iguazu falls, between Argentina and Brazil, with their total width of 2.7 kilometres and their average flow rate of 1,756 m³/s, are the largest waterfalls system in the world.
Congress members make $174,000 a year, and have the best healthcare money can buy, and this little fucker wants you to know they’re struggling with inflation.

The kauri trees of New Zealand lived through the age of dinosaurs and are still growing.
Agathis australis has been on Earth for approximately 190 million years. Living specimens can reach 60 meters tall and 16 meters in circumference. Their trunks are silver-grey and utterly straight, rising without branches for much of their height before opening into a dense rounded canopy.
The oldest known living kauri, Tane Mahuta, is estimated to be between 1,250 and 2,500 years old. In Māori tradition, Tane Mahuta is the Lord of the Forest, a divine being who separated earth and sky. The tree is sacred, and visiting it is not casual. It stands in the Waipoua Forest in Northland, and the people who care for it are considered its guardians, not its managers.
The kauri is now threatened by a fungal disease called kauri dieback, Phytophthora agathidicola, for which there is no cure. It spreads through contaminated soil on boots, tools, and vehicles. Visiting areas with kauri in New Zealand now requires boot-washing stations, track closures, and strict biosecurity. An organism that survived the Cretaceous extinction is being threatened by mud on a shoe.

“Some in Moscow still haven’t understood: Ukrainians will never surrender their independence. With Bankova or without it — we will not give up our land, our sovereignty, or our state.”

Israel just executed Ali in Harouf, South Lebanon.
He wasn’t a fighter.
He was a paramedic.
Israel killed him while he was on the frontlines saving lives.
Killing medics is a war crime.
Killing medics is a crime against humanity.
The war Trump started in Iran is unnecessary, unauthorized and not in America's interest...
Trump is unfit for office as POTUS, unfit as CINC... Hegseth's unfit as SecDef... people should be calling for them to step down or be removed...
Trump and Netanyahu started something they can’t control…
Things in Iran won't be over anytime soon; and could cause any amount of global turmoil… including WW-III... Trump doesn't care who gets hurt or how much...
Trump has purged all competent leadership in the military and national security... now, we're more vulnerable and leadership is incompetent...
Trump's putting troops in harm's way with inadequate leadership and inadequate preparation... without good reason or support of the American people...
Iran is retaliating and Netanyahu won't stop... including war crimes...
