The masked trogon (Trogon personatus) excavates deep cavity nests, sometimes up to 3 meters (10 feet) long into rotting wood or soft soil banks to keep eggs safe from predators. Credit to tomas_magana_d, Wondershots FB

True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.

Over 40 children killed by the israelis in a month: many images are missing: I don’t understand a world that thinks this isn’t an atrocity

Oh, Horace! This poor little hoglet arrived at Tiggywinkles with mange & a nasty case of ringworm. His condition left him with missing spines & fur, and a tufty little moustache on his face. 🥹
Now on his journey to recovery, we're giving him the best chance of a brighter future.

If we switched to #renewableenergy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall by 40% because they're just carrying coal & oil & gas!! buff.ly/dpTrSpO
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

🌍 History will judge us not by our innovations alone, but by the planet we leave behind. If we don't denounce deforestation and ecocide now, posterity will see our inaction as a profound moral failure. Our legacy is being written today. #ClimateAction #Ecocide

BREAKING: 🇵🇾 What just happened in PARAGUAY is a WARNING for everyone on earth.
More than 3 million people (60% of Paraguay's adult population) have lost access to EVERYTHING. Their bank accounts. Their pensions. Frozen. Inaccessible.
Paraguay’s largest digital bank, Ueno Bank, has collapsed.
The president of the Central Bank (who is deeply connected to Ueno) has just RESIGNED. Eight high-level executives including the founder and the Bank President are being detained.
The people have taken to the streets to demand their money back. And rightly so.
This is the model Milei and the rest of the Epstein class are pushing. This could happen ANYWHERE. Best to save in physical gold and physical silver, imo.

🇹🇭🇮🇱 Thai residents take to the streets to protest outside the Israeli embassy over the behavior of Israeli tourists in Thailand.
"Thailand is not and cannot be a safe haven for Israel soldiers, who have committed despicable crimes."

Veeraswamy, the famous century-old Indian restaurant in Regent Street, London, begins its court battle today against the Crown Estate, the King’s property manager, which wants to force it to move. Veeraswamy offers some of the best Indian cooking anywhere on earth.

What do you call an army that kills a surrendered Palestinian #child in front of the camera, in front of the world?
They call it "the most moral army in the world"

I'm a doctor in the UK with Palestinian family. I spoke out against genocide and jewish supremacy. My medical licence was suspended.
Dr Eastland Staveley, a jewish GP, said he didn't shoot enough babies in Gaza. He is practising medicine freely in Britain.
They proved my point.

The ruminant family, and the one job each of them does that nothing else on earth can.
The cow turns a wet hillside into beef and milk, and leaves the soil better than she found it.
The sheep grows a fireproof, waterproof, compostable coat every year, out of grass and rain, and then gives it away for the price of a haircut.
The goat eats the bramble, the scrub and the invasive weed that strangles everything else, and asks only for a weak point in the fence.
The water buffalo makes the milk that becomes real mozzarella, standing in marsh a cow would sink in.
The yak gives milk at an altitude that would kill a lowland animal in a week, and carries your bags up there as well.
The reindeer feeds and clothes entire peoples above the Arctic Circle, on lichen and moss, in the dark, for months.
The bison built the deepest soil on the planet by walking across it and eating.
Seven animals, one gift each, and not one of them can be replaced by a crop, a machine or a sachet.
Every one of them is classed, this decade, as a liability on a spreadsheet by somebody who has never been cold.

What Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah witnessed during 43 days in Gaza
1. Six children amputated in one night. He personally performed all six operations.
2. A three-year-old lost an arm and a leg. His family was dead. “We didn’t know his name.”
3. A little girl lost half her face. Her father and two siblings were killed. “Half of her face was missing.” He remembered her braids and flower-shaped hairband.
4. A nine-year-old underwent repeated wound cleaning without adequate pain relief. “She was screaming in pain, her father was crying.” Abu-Sittah cried too.
5. He cleaned children's wounds with detergent and vinegar. Hospitals had run out of antiseptics.
6. He treated a 13-year-old boy with burns he identified as white-phosphorus injuries, extending deeply into his legs. Israel denied using white phosphorus in Gaza.
7. He witnessed the aftermath of the explosion at Al-Ahli Hospital. He described bodies scattered around the courtyard, including a child's severed arm.
8. A doctor washed mud from a wounded boy's face, desperately trying to establish whether the child was his nephew.
9. A colleague was killed. The dead surgeon's 12-year-old son began caring for his injured mother and younger siblings.
10. He believed he might die under bombardment. He recorded affectionate voice messages for his sons so they would remember his voice.
