Since this post, nearly 300 of you donated about $11k and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. The union shared photos with me today of food being distributed. Remaining money will be evenly distributed among the 160 union members in the form of gift cards. Thank you. ❤️

60,000 African penguins starve to death after sardine numbers collapse – study
Climate crisis and overfishing contributed to loss of 95% of penguins in two breeding colonies in South Africa, research finds
More than 60,000 penguins in colonies off the coast of South Africa have starved to death as a result of disappearing sardines, a new paper has found.
More than 95% of the African penguins in two of the most important breeding colonies, on Dassen Island and Robben Island, died between 2004 and 2012.

Thousands of people have travelled through Europe by train, and DiscoverEU will be giving 40,000 more the opportunity to interrail for free in 2026.
So, we were wondering: Have you ever been interrailing?

It's hard to overstate how brave what she did was, at the time she did it. It's also impossible to quantify the number of women's lives her actions saved. It was one brick out of the wall of the theocracy at a time when that wall seemed permanent and unchangeable. RIP May. A feminist icon.
