In Kenya, environmentalist Truphena Muthoni hugged a palm tree for 72 hours to highlight the loss of native forests — surpassing her own world record.
Her act drew attention, & she’s now an ambassador for Kenya’s plan to plant 15B trees. Many of the country’s endemic species face extinction.

Millions of people love @barackobama.bsky.social and this is one example of why. Such generosity, caring and class.
Well, while Trump has been posting about scumbags and liberal sleazebags and starting a war in Nigeria — Obama went to a hospital — visiting patients, handing out gifts and thanking the staff for all they do every day. 🎅🏿 ❤️ 🐐

For years, @60minutes.bsky.social was one of the most esteemed news magazines on American television, inspiring me to get a degree in journalism. I can only imagine how its dedicated and talented reporters are taking this.
CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

I will gladly pay whatever adoption costs are needed for Melia.
I sent an email about Adoption fees at Hempstead animal shelter. Here is their answer:
⬇️
"Right now our adoption fee is just $10 for dogs but typically it is $35. And we are fine with her either being adopted or sent to a rescue group, whichever route gets her out into the right home.

What an incredible looking creature.
This made me laugh, which I needed today. Been crying over a new Monarch butterfly eclosing but not surviving. Say a prayer please all of these beautiful creatures that don't make it. And, if you can, plant some milkweed so they have the food they need to survive.
This is Brenda and Linda. They were brought into the shelter together, and Brenda had no interest in being separated from her friend. She jumped the kennel wall to get to Linda, and made sure everyone knew they're a package deal. The best news? It worked: They were adopted together. 14/10 for both

I would adopt this sweet pup in a heartbeat if I was able. Please please, can someone adopt her 💗
I do not work for the shelter. Just been sharing MELIA for awhile now. The shelter does post videos on Facebook, Instagram and X. It's under "Adopt MELIA & Friends". I only have Bluesky. I post videos as I receive them. Check her out below. 💗

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Nature is incredible 💚
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.
