I really wish everybody would've left weaponized male incompetence and the unequal division of domestic labor in 2025.

It should be left in the trash where it belongs, actually, but I digress.

◾It's not cute or funny when they can't make or follow a basic grocery list.

◾It's not okay when women don't feel comfortable leaving the house or taking some time for themselves, because they can't depend on him to take care of his kids and the house in which he also lives.

◾It's insane when he has consistently not lived up to his role as a partner, but still can't understand why she's rarely "in the mood." I'm truly, truly sorry if you married an idiot who doesn't realize that both sprinkles and 😸 are for winners.

I'm being funny, but it's a real problem.

When partnered women talk about having to be everything to everybody, my very first question is "What is that man doing, besides laying up in your house and getting on your nerves?"

Get off yo ass and HELP HER. TF?

No one thought this tiny sausage dog could still be out there, but then the photos started coming in.

Meet Valerie, a miniature dachshund who vanished on a holiday and somehow stayed alive for 529 days in the Australian wilderness.

She went missing in November 2023 on Kangaroo Island in South Australia, after slipping away near Stokes Bay. Her owners searched hard, but the scrub was thick and she disappeared.

Months turned into more than a year. People kept reporting quick sightings, like a little shadow with ears bouncing through the grass.

In early 2025, rescuers finally began getting clearer proof that she was still out there. A volunteer group, Kangala Wildlife Rescue, set up cameras and started planning a careful, patient capture.

They didn’t chase her. They made a safe little space and used familiar smells and comfort items to help her feel brave enough to come close.

After weeks of work and lots of waiting, Valerie was finally secured in a special trap on April 25, 2025. Rescuers said she was fit and well, which is almost impossible to believe.

Even wilder, she wasn’t skinny. Reports said she had gained weight since she went missing, leaving everyone wondering how she managed to eat and stay safe for so long.

Now she’s back with her people, and the whole story feels like the kind of news you really want to share. A small dog, a huge island, and 529 days that somehow ended in a happy reunion.

Wildlife filmmaker and rehabilitator Robert E. Fuller recently carried out a profoundly moving act of compassion in the quiet countryside of Thixendale, North Yorkshire. Luna, a tawny owl whose eggs had tragically failed to hatch for the second consecutive year, was given an unexpected chance at motherhood—thanks to two orphaned chicks and one man’s belief in the healing power of nature.

When Fuller received word about two abandoned tawny owl chicks found helpless on the ground, he knew exactly what to do. With great care and hope, he placed the tiny orphans into Luna’s nest, trusting her deep maternal instincts. What happened next was nothing short of extraordinary.

Without hesitation, Luna embraced the chicks, gently wrapping her wings around them and tending to them as if they were her own. It was a moment of pure connection—a grieving mother finding purpose, and two vulnerable lives finding warmth and protection.

Thanks to Fuller’s thoughtful intervention, the orphaned chicks now had a chance to grow and thrive, and Luna was finally able to experience the joy of motherhood that had eluded her.

This touching moment, captured by nest cameras, is a powerful testament to the bond between humans and wildlife. It’s a story of resilience, love, and the quiet miracles that happen when compassion guides our actions. In a world often marked by struggle, Luna’s story reminds us that kindness still has the power to transform lives—both human and wild.
