I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

Not because I had a small part to play but because now more than ever we need to amplify kindness and human connection, let me share with you the Tale of Kathleen & John
After I had given directions to Kathleen (as I was to learn was her name) she headed off with her trusty walking frame, Esmeralda

A woman steps into the shop: Where do I vote?
Me: Are you looking for Carysfort National School?
Her: Yes, I feel it's my duty, I turned 97 yesterday!

Sky News just had Kelvin Mackenzie on, former editor of The Sun, one of the people at the centre of probably the most disgraceful front page in newspaper history, complaining about BBC journalists not being objective and 'fake news'. Astonishing. ~AA

This sums up Zigi perfectly – bold, curious and a bit of a showboat. As Umani’s youngest grandcalf, he has no shortage of nannies. His mother, Zongoloni is one of our success stories. Rescued after poachers killed her mother, we raised her until she was ready to return to the wild: swt.bio/zongoloni

Some Heroes Don't Wear Capes. This past week the crew from A Safe Haven planted almost 140,000 bulbs along Chicago's Michigan Avenue. One of my favorite moments is hearing people driving by and saying "thank you" to workers. We'll see the results of their work in 6 months!
