Baby elephants cried all night after being separated from their mothers — but they weren’t alone. The dedicated caretakers from the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust stayed by their side, comforting them through the night. These keepers treat every orphaned elephant like their own child — waking up every few hours to feed them, covering them with blankets when it’s cold, and making sure they feel safe. One keeper shared in an interview: “It feels the same to me as having my own babies in the same room. It’s very similar to when they were little — waking up at all hours to feed and change them.” 🥹 The bond they share is deeply human. They even sleep near the elephants so the little ones never feel abandoned. Another caretaker said it feels just like raising a newborn baby — the sleepless nights, the crying, and the small, heartwarming moments of connection. The elephants snore, dream, and sometimes even playfully wake their caretakers by tugging at their blankets with their trunks. Through this constant love and care, these orphaned elephants slowly learn to trust again — growing stronger each day, surrounded by the gentle warmth of their human family .🤍 The image is symbolic, inspired by the trust’s real work 💛 See comment section 🤍 #animals #elephantlove #elephant #elephantsanctuary #babyelephant #lovestory #kindnessmatters #humanity #wildlife #wildlifeconservation #efforts #HopeAndHealing #storytime #wholesome #fblifestyle

Read this. Blair's objective with ID cards is clear: it includes financial transactions. In other words, the state could, at a stroke, be able to block your ability to buy goods & services. Possibility for previously unthinkable authoritarianism. institute.global/insights/tech-…

Digital ID, plus a fully digitised cash payments system (which I also oppose, for reasons of basic social resilience), creates the possibility for a kind of state power we've never previously imagined.

Big Ben silent as the quiver of quiescence holds the arrows of acquisition. Captains Cooper and Reeves appear in the mess wearing Melania hats. They refer to Gen Starmer as "Daddy" and the mess chief has to have a quiet word with them. Look away, look away, they sing defiantly.

Radio 4 has apologised to Robert Jenrick for calling him 'xenophobic', when actually, ordering kids’ cartoons in an immigration centre to be painted over means there were so many other things they could have called him

Big Ben silent as the mobs of misery light the Molotovs of madness. General Starmer sends the mess a postcard from Turnberry. Scotland is a strange place, he says, with deep-fried haggis for breakfast. He is busy now giving an elderly fellow a bit of fresh air and a pedicure.

So many supportive comments. Thank you so much. I’ve been asked why I was sacked, so a quick explainer. We as Guardian journalists overwhelmingly opposed the deal & went on strike & we needed a union spokesperson to talk to the media, which I took on. On the day of the ‘transfer’, I was singled out & sacked. Thank you so much for the messages. I’m really comfortable with my choice. We are living in extreme & dangerous times & standing & speaking for what you believe in has never been more important. 🙏

Earlier this year, I lost my beloved job at my beloved Observer when the Guardian, in its great wisdom, gave the newspaper away to a podcast company...who promptly sacked me. So, forgive my delight today, in being nominated for FIVE awards in the British Podcast Awards!! 1/
