Elephants don’t fall over when sleeping standing up due... to a unique anatomical feature called the “stay apparatus” in their legs. This system of muscles, tendons, and ligaments locks their joints, particularly in the knees and elbows, allowing them to remain upright without active muscle effort. It’s like a natural brace that supports their massive weight—adult elephants can weigh 2,000 to 14,000 pounds—distributing it evenly across their sturdy, column-like legs. Their low center of gravity and wide stance also enhance stability. This adaptation is crucial for large animals, as it conserves energy and allows them to rest without collapsing under their own mass. 🐘 Craig 📍Amboseli NP 🇰🇪show more

The elephants at our Nairobi Nursery love their days... out exploring in the forest, but they also love the call of their bedrooms in the evening! Waiting for their arrival, bottles of warm milk, freshly mixed by their Keepers! Tonight, it was the turn of Mzinga to lead the home time charge, closely followed by Nyambeni, Shujaa and little Olomunyak. Each of these elephants was rescued as an orphan. With your support, we will rehabilitate them so that they can return to a fully wild life when grown. So, if you are looking for a meaningful way to give back, you can adopt a member of our Nursery herd at: #FosterFridayshow more

I’m so happy to see a glimpse of SB19... and BE:FIRST’s rehearsal. 🥹✨ It’s heartwarming to witness the friendship and connection they built through “Toyfriend.” Their chemistry feels so natural and genuine, like it was meant to happen. As a Filipino living in Japan, this feels really special to me. 🫶🏻 Seeing BE:FIRST behind the scenes also made me appreciate them more beyond the stage. I stan both groups not just for their talent, but for their passion and purpose. They’re truly inspiring, and I’m grateful to witness this connection. 🤍✨ Watch full vlog here🔗:show more

Thumbpulling™ will change your face. And the reason why... is something NOBODY talks about. The follow-up after every set is a Pandiculation. Pandiculation is the stretch every human and animal instinctively does. It's why cats arch their backs after waking up. It's why dogs stretch their front legs out before they move. It's why you yawn and stretch the second you wake. It's the body's built-in fascial reset. The nervous system uses it to: -recalibrate posture -rehydrate the fascia -release stored tension -update the resting tone of muscles -rewire the set point of the entire system Thumbpulling™ does exactly this - it forces a pandiculation which loosens the sutures, releases the fascia (you can hear creaking sounds of this happening) This allows your face to be more mobile - allowing your tongue to expand the palate and maxilla. This is exactly what people in my community have been integrating into their daily routines to improve their appearance. Everyone will be Thumbpulling eventually ⚡️show more

Donkeys are among the most abused and neglected animals... in our country. People take endless hard work from them, loading them with unimaginable weight, and once the work is done, they are left abandoned on the roads to eat garbage. In cities, where there is no grazing land, these poor souls are left without food, without water, without care. When work is needed again, the same owners catch them, exploit them, and then abandon them once more. This cycle continues until the donkey breathes its last. It is heartbreaking, it is cruel, and yet there are no rules or regulations to protect them. These gentle beings give their strength and labor to help humans earn a livelihood is it too much to expect that in return, they are given food, water, and basic medical care? Their suffering is silent, but their pain is immense. We must raise our voices for these voiceless souls, because they deserve dignity, compassion, and kindness too. #AnimalAbuseshow more

I’m an empowerment coach, a sensual muse, and an... advocate for healthy male sexuality. I’ve developed a one-of-a-kind program that encourages men to embrace self-pleasure, to appreciate their own virility, and to build confidence in their own skin. I do this by sharing breathtaking images, provocative videos, and sensual insights that inspire men to explore themselves without guilt. Think of me as your personal guide to self-discovery, only dressed in the most sinful lingerie. I focus on pleasure because men deserve it. Society has made them feel like self-pleasure is something shameful, when in reality, it’s natural, healthy, and even empowering. I see too many men struggling with confidence, repressing their desires, and feeling disconnected from their own sexuality. That’s where I come in. Through my content, I help erase the stigma and turn self-pleasure into something to be celebrated. The Vanesa's Male Development Program encourages men to embrace masturbation as a tool for confidence, self-exploration, and personal growth. I provide the inspiration—whether it’s through my tantalizing photos, seductive videos, or sensual encouragement—and my followers use it to fuel their own pleasure. It’s about learning to fully enjoy yourself without guilt, to embrace your body, and to feel more confident than ever. And believe me, when a man learns to fully enjoy his own pleasure, he radiates that confidence in every aspect of his life—from relationships to career and beyond. Pleasure makes power.show more

Latika, Kamili, and Kerrio’s first postcard from Umani Springs:... The girls are loving their new home and even leading the herd! It is wonderful to see how happy and settled they already are. In case you missed the news: Kerrio, Latika, and Kamili graduated to our Umani Springs Reintegration Unit yesterday. This marks a milestone in their ongoing journey with us. They will remain in our care for years to come, learning from older elephants and mastering the ways of the wild. Only when they feel ready will they reclaim their rightful place in the wild, and we will be there to support them every step of the way. Donors like you make these second chances possible. It’s a privilege to share this journey with you – and we are so grateful for your incredible support.show more

Want to see what working without a license and... workers comp fraud looks like in CA? A “landscape” company doing commercial demolition without a contractors license. Yes there is a license # in the pic, it’s not their license.

The companies who try and operate legally pay the price It’s a policy issue in CAshow more

Just because your baby’s eyes are open doesn’t necessarily... mean they’re awake. And the same holds true in reverse. Weird, right? During active (or REM) sleep it’s not uncommon for your baby to open their eyes for brief periods, to make noises, and to move their body actively. The (open eyes) phenomenon, known as psychological lagophthalmos, is common in newborns and may be attributable in part to immaturity of their central nervous system. The important thing here is not to be too quick to assume your little one has finished sleeping just because their eyes open. This video is a great example. Baby’s eyes are partially open, but he is in the midst active sleep (which comprises half or more of each newborn sleep cycle). Likewise, there are situations where your child may appear to be asleep, but isn’t. Particularly in bright, noisy, or otherwise overstimulating environments your child may feign sleep (when they are feeling overwhelmed) as a sort of defense mechanism. This is called habituation. And while it may look like sleep it does not provide the same restorative benefits - and often concludes with prolonged periods of crying as a sort of stress relief. Long story short, you can’t always judge your baby’s level of alertness from their eyes alone - so be sensitive and observant in both circumstances. (And if you suspect your baby is habituating due to overstimulation, try to get them to an environment better suited to their needs.) This little one was shared to TT by laura.sunday.show more

A few weeks ago, I asked one of my... aide’s children what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said, “A superhero doctor!” It was heartwarming. It was also a lighthearted reminder that children’s dreams are limitless—filled with possibility and wonder. In fact, that same boundless potential lies within every child. They are our future innovators, artists, lawyers, and leaders. It is our responsibility to nurture their curiosity, encourage their creativity, and help them reach their full potential—no matter how big their dreams may seem. So, this Children’s Day, let’s all celebrate the extraordinary potential of every child. Let’s listen to their ideas, empower their voices, and help make their dreams come alive. Happy #ChildrensDay to all the amazing children out there!show more

During periods of fasting, many people enjoy eating dates... as a gentle and natural source of energy. 🌿 But something that is often overlooked is the importance of preparing them properly before eating. Dates are a dried fruit, and along their journey—from harvesting to packaging—they may collect dust or small particles on their surface. For this reason, I like to follow a simple and mindful habit before consuming them: 1️⃣ Soak the dates in water with a little baking soda for about 10–15 minutes 2️⃣ Rinse them well with clean water 3️⃣ Allow them to dry naturally There is also another small habit I find very helpful: I never eat a date without opening it first. I gently split it, remove the pit, and take a moment to check the inside. It only takes a few seconds, but it brings a sense of care, awareness, and peace of mind—something that aligns beautifully with the spirit of fasting. 🌿show more

Penguins are some of the world’s most charismatic birds.... They look like they’re wearing suits. They appear to fly underwater. And they waddle like sumo wrestlers. Now, scientists say they’ve finally pinpointed the muscle behind this endearing gait: an enigmatic and long-misunderstood tissue that forces the bird’s lower limbs to stay close to its body near the knees. The adaptation not only contributes to penguins’ signature waddle, it also helps keep their bodies streamlined when underwater, allowing them to move efficiently on both land and sea.

TikTok and location of a barber shop active in... Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas called “Barber La Chuky.” CDN (Northeast Cartel based in Nuevo Laredo) has a faction called los Chuky and this barber shop heavily uses the symbols and name of that faction of the cartel indicating it is directly affiliated to CDN and supports their members. I can also see this business being used for money laundering. This information came from an anonymous source.show more

I don’t know if it’s courage, a desperate hope,... a fight for justice, or simply the struggle to survive, but what I do know is that it’s painful. Painful even to witness. Watching your own people like this,broken, silenced, grieving, shakes something deep inside you. It compels you to speak out, to risk your career, and to stand up for justice when silence is no longer an option. Baloch mothers and sisters carry the weight of generational grief. And it is the state that has burdened them with this pain. The families protesting in Islamabad are being punished not for any crime, but for refusing to give up. For still daring to hope. Their lives have been shattered. Justice denied in courtrooms. Dreams torn apart. Every breath is a battle for dignity. The few who dared to speak for them have been thrown behind bars. Their families are being targeted. Harassment and intimidation are at their peak. Yet they still came to Islamabad….to protest, to resist, to be seen. And what did they face? Threats. Silence. Erasure. They were not even allowed to set up camp under the punishing rain and scorching heat. The press club was fenced off to block their voices. They were evicted from their rented flats in the middle of the night. This is our history , a history of pain, of struggle, and of an unyielding hope for life. And it is also the history of Islamabad: denial, repression, torture, and the systematic refusal of justice. Yes, we carry our pain with pride. And while the state may wield the power of weapons, it will carry the shame of what it has done. #ReleaseBYCLeaders #EndEnforcedDisappearancesshow more
