Dr. Maya Angelou never had a daughter, though she often spoke of wanting one. In a 1973 interview, she shared what she would tell a young girl growing up — and her words still ring true today: “You might encounter many defeats, but you must never be defeated… Laugh a lot. Love life.” Her wisdom continues to guide generations. 💐 💖 #WomensHistoryMonth

I died so many times watching this video…I know how I would react, but what if it went up his shorts?! 😅😱 Poll below!🦎

This is what the internet was invented for In 1996, a King Penguin named Lala became a local celebrity in Shibushi, Japan. After being rescued from a fishing net by the Nishimoto family, he refused to return to the wild. He lived in an air-conditioned room in their home and was famous for walking alone to the fish market wearing a tiny backpack. The fishmonger would feed him a fresh fish and place another in his bag for the trip home.

Today is Holy Monday - the day Jesus threw the merchants and money changers out of the temple. He was incensed at them for commercialising a house of prayer. What would Jesus think of those on this site who see religion as a way to spread hatred and make money?

"So this happened today at Barnes & Noble: I went to take the kids to meet the Paw Patrol characters and this nice man approached me, told me how beautiful the girls are, and conveyed a heartfelt apology for the general anti-Muslim sentiment in our society today. He had tears in his eyes and told me that it must be so hard to turn on the news, that he feels awful about the bigotry my kids might one day experience, and that as a Jewish man whose parents didn't speak any English growing up, he personally understands what it feels like to be rejected and discriminated against. I asked if I could give him a hug (he looked like he needed one more than me, but I guess I needed one too) and he wanted to reassure me that most Americans are decent people who don't hate people like me or believe what they hear on the news. He then told me he's turning 90 on Friday and insisted on buying each of the kids a present as a gift for himself and so they can have something to remember him by. I told him we should just take a picture instead so I can tell them the story one day (he accepted) but insisted on buying them gifts anyway afterwards.

Conan O'Brien says he has "incredible empathy for people who have immigrated to another country" after traveling to Ireland and seeing his great-grandfather lived. "I went back to Ireland and I [saw] a great genealogist who said, 'I found where your great-grandfather’s home was.' The home is gone, but he found the little spot where he lived, near the Galbally Mountains. He said, 'I’ll go there and show it to you,' and I said, 'We’ll do it on camera.' "I was expecting to have these jokes loaded up; we had props and funny things we were going to do... But I got there, and I did not expect this because I'm not someone who wears my emotions on my sleeve, but I got emotional. It was very powerful. "This was a very small plot of land. He was a tenant farmer, so it wasn't his. He didn't have money, and he needed to move on because it wasn't working; probably not enough to eat, couldn't sustain. So, he left and went to America, and here I am a couple of generations later. "What's amazing to me is when you have that experience and you stand there, I have incredible empathy for people who have immigrated to another country. It takes an entire lifetime to go to a country where, often, people don't speak the language. They have to spend their entire lives just getting things started for the next generation; it's a whole lifetime that you're feeding into this process. "I was just thinking about this guy, whom I'll never meet, who had to do that. I think I was overcome by the fact that there's a lot of sadness in that story, and in a lot of these stories. People leave not because they think, 'Hey, I just want to go have fun in America.' They leave because they have to." (via Jimmy Kimmel Live)

@dannolan What a time to be alive

man what a current time hey

This extraordinary illustration, titled Wild World, is a hand-drawn global map created by artist and cartographer Anton thomas. Instead of political borders and city names, the map highlights wildlife, placing animals in their native habitats across every continent and ocean. Over the course of three years, Thomas meticulously illustrated 1, 642 species using coloured pencil and pen. Each animal is positioned according to its natural range, transforming the familiar shape of the world into a celebration of biodiversity. By removing human boundaries and focusing on ecosystems, the map offers a powerful reminder that the planet is shared space. It invites us to see geography not just as nations and borders, but as living habitats that connect species across land and sea.

Australia exports wild camels to the Middle East by air. In the 1800s thousands were imported to help explore the Outback. When engines arrived they were released into the wild. Today Australia has the largest feral camel population on earth. Because they are isolated they are free from diseases found in other herds. They are loaded into crates on freight planes and flown to Saudi Arabia for breeding and racing.

Hello dear family, this is Jan. I can’t thank you all enough for your kind thoughts. Phil has come through the worst of this episode and is not nearly as slow and confused, but he’s not quite out of the woods just yet. You all provide great comfort to Phil & me. Thank you Jan xxx

@PhilHazell1 Sending love to you all 💐

Hi fam It’s Jan, Phil’s not too good at the moment. He’s slowed right down physically, mentally and he’s sleeping a lot. Thanks, as always, for your loving support. You & Margot are the reason Phil is able to continue living a relatively normal life, for this I thank you all x

Veronika, a Swiss Brown cow in the Austrian Alps, has long been seen picking up sticks and brushes to deliberately scratch an itch This is not quirky behaviour it’s the first documented case of a cow using a tool

So, what’s missing from this picture?

@RonniSalt @instanterudite @shot_au Jo is amazing & so was Louise Adler on 7:30 Report this evening. Few rays of light during such a sad and upsetting week. The unavoidable cancellation of AWW this year is a big loss that will be felt by many 💔

This is Jo Dyer @instanterudite at her most brilliant best. Jo is a former Adelaide Writers' Week director, and this article beautifully sums up her fury at the needless destruction of one of Australia's most world famous arts events. @shot_au theshot.net.au/uncategorized/…

Help me out: I need a highly specific, aggressively masculine name for a tiny Chihuahua puppy. Nothing cute. I'm desperate.
