Stumbled upon this beautiful sight on my neighborhood walk. Life is good

Classic drew the tree too big situation

My parents have this little knot hole in their kitchen counter, and my three-year-old uses it to hold important things. 🥹 Kills us!

Her name was Josie. She was a 17-year-old blind lioness in South Africa. Her two daughters hunted for her every day. They also used her to hunt. Prey would freeze and stare at the blind lioness while Dawn and Duffy snuck around and attacked from behind. She lived in Addo Elephant National Park. She was put down this past October. She was older than almost any wild lioness on record. The oldest ever was a lioness called Mathata. She made it to 19. Most wild lionesses only make it to 15 or 16. Josie spent her last five years nearly blind, and she still got there. Her right eye went first. Then her left started to fade. She would stumble sometimes as she walked. She'd call out softly so she could follow Dawn and Duffy by their voices. Lions usually don't look after their sick or injured. Wild animals rarely do. In May 2019, Josie had three grown sons. All three were sedated for a move to another reserve. One brother took longer than the other two to come out of it. He was groggy. He wobbled when he tried to stand up. His two brothers killed him right there on the spot. Her daughters did the opposite, and the reason has a name. Biologists call it kin selection. A biologist named Bill Hamilton wrote it up in 1964. You share a lot of your genes with your kids, your siblings, your parents. So if you help those people survive, you're helping some of your own genes survive. Evolution rewards that. Female lions stay in the pride they're born into for life. Males leave. So a daughter grows up next to her mother. She shares her mother's genes. Helping her mother stay alive helps keep those genes going. A son doesn't get that same payoff. He'll be forced out of the pride eventually. A brother who can't walk straight won't help him survive what comes after. Josie lived past the age any wild lion has any right to reach, nearly blind, in the company of the two animals who had the most reason in the world to keep her alive.

didn't think he could ever top the devotion of the endometriosis awareness pins for Barbara, but here we are. he never played about her and it's refreshing to see he stood on business about it. we stan a 'wife guy' and Dylan Sprouse is DEFINITELY a 'wife guy'.

And i know this is a high priestess with psychic powers somehow

stops me in my tracks every time and reminds me time is finite.. its beautiful

let’s stare lovingly at our luminous mama

Imagine not seeing your tv dad for 25 years and when you do you try to spread the tired manosphere talking points he’s been putting up with since 2008

This what their logo use to look like before the redesign. Nothing but bangers.

Born too late to see dinosaurs, too early to see flying cars but just in time to see Kim Richards vs Lisa Rinna in Amsterdam

The Corgi was the one leading them home The German Shepherd was injured The dogs kept a protective formation around the German Shepherd The Corgi stopped often to make sure they were still okay It took them 2 days to get home They are neighbourhood friends I’m going to cry😭😭😭

We have steel mill workers from Appalachia posting photos that would make a journalist's career I love this country
