THE #talented American poet, Amanda Gorman, performed her poem, "The Hill We Climb" at Biden's #Inauguration, in January 2021. 🙏 Sadly, conservative 'red necks' have 'tried' to BAN her book in schools! 😡 Raise a ✋ if you stand with Amanda! 🙋‍♂️ 👇@TheAmandaGorman #VoteBlue 💙

🐘❤️ CUANDO TODO PARECÍA PERDIDO, LA SALVACIÓN LLEGÓ DE UNA MANERA INESPERADA En medio de las inundaciones y la desesperación en Nepal, cuando el agua arrasaba con todo a su paso, ocurrió una escena que parece sacada de una película. Un elefante se abrió camino entre las aguas y los escombros para ayudar a dos niños y ponerlos a salvo, demostrando que el instinto de proteger y la compasión no conocen fronteras. A veces, la humanidad no se encuentra en quien habla más fuerte, sino en quien extiende la trompa cuando otro necesita ayuda. 🐘 Porque incluso en medio del desastre, todavía existen historias capaces de recordarnos que la bondad sigue viva. ❤️🌎 #Nepal #HistoriasQueInspiran #Esperanza #Compasión #Animales #BuenasNoticias

I can’t stop watching this. You can literally see the exact second this poor dog realizes he’s safe. He’s shaking, covered in scars and stitches, and instead of pulling away, he just leans into her like he’s been waiting his whole life for someone to show him what kindness feels like. That little head tuck into her shoulder broke me. That’s not just a dog. That’s a soul learning what love is. Whoever this vet tech is, you’re a hero. This is what humanity should look like. ❤️

Today I learned rabbits can swim. Even better: their ears fold back into swim mode. I feel this information deserved to be shared

The sloth falls into the water and although he is able to swim, he appreciates the capybara's prompt rescue.

This is the funniest thing you’ll see today. Watch this possum see his image in the mirror and see what happens.
