Happy 423 years of us! 🎉 📚 The Bodleian Libraries opened for the first time on 8 November 1602... This means, we're older than the refracting telescope (1608), the publication of Shakespeare's Hamlet (1623) and Sir Isaac Newton's apple (1666)! 😅

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document— "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

Eynsford, the Kingdom of Kent - Rowland Hilder The village & the artist are both special to me. For twenty years I lived 30 yards from this scene. I met my wife in a pub 20 yards away, and my eldest son was christened in the church immediately behind where he sat to paint this

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Let me just say. The fact that there was an engine missing and they kept the plane level till the end is a testament to their skill. They fought till the very end. Tragic

Until Kipekee and Arthi came along, Wamata held the coveted position of baby of the herd. With the arrival of these tiny newcomers, she has stiff competition to get the matriarch’s attention. Perhaps a little posing might do the trick? With those cheeky, playful poses, we dare anyone to resist!

At some point we might have to consider the fact that he might be mentally unstable.

A handshake hello from Kipekee! Kipekee was rescued in June in a near-skeletal state, having been without her mother’s milk for days. This footage, taken last month, shows she’s gained in strength, and her once gaunt cheeks are beginning to look almost chubby: swt.bio/kipekee

Sunday Inspiration: Stand Up for Others Do not accept brutality and cruelty as normal even if it is sanctioned. Protect the vulnerable and encourage the afraid. If you are brave, stand up for others. If you cannot be brave—and it is often hard to be brave—be kind.—Sarah Kendzior

Arthi has only been in our care two months, but he has already impressed Nursery Head Keeper Edwin with his mature demeanour. Little Wamata was initially jealous of the newcomer and tried to bully him. However, she has since come to respect his quiet strength. Support Arthi: swt.bio/arthi

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties. Hello? Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party. Enough of the false equivalence.

Funny how resistance to AI in public space is described as "vandalism," but outright theft of the work of writers/artists is treated as an acceptable practice in the name of the technology's dubious claims to instrumentality and value. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/s...

It’s a girl for Naserian! As has become tradition among our ex-orphans, the proud mum returned ‘home’ this weekend to introduce her brand new daughter to the people who raised her. The special name we have chosen for Naserian's little girl: Nyika, which means bush/wilderness in Swahili.
