Just found out about the molecular structure of haemoglobin and it's so fascinating : a single iron atom surrounded by four five-pointed pyrolle rings. These rings latch on to oxygen in the lungs and release it elsewhere in the body.
Donkeys are among the most abused and ignored animals in our society.
They are forced to carry unbearable loads for years.
Their bodies are pushed beyond limits.
And when they finally need food, water, or medical treatment, they are simply abandoned on the roads to suffer.
Many are left with their legs tied, unable to walk freely, unable to run, unable even to escape pain.
They limp through life with wounds, hunger, and exhaustion—silently enduring cruelty they never deserved.
What hurts even more?
There are so many alternatives available today.
Yet these innocent, voiceless animals are still used, abused, and discarded as if their lives don’t matter.
This is not tradition.
This is not necessity.
This is cruelty.
It’s time we speak up.
It’s time we choose compassion.
No animal should suffer just because it cannot protest.

Read good books. Borrow good books. Buy good books. Lend good books. Give good books. Request good books. Write good books. Discuss good books. Debate good books. Reread good books. Love good books.
This retired circus elephant mourns after her 25-year partner passes away. She tries to lift her, hugs her, & doesn't allow vets near her for hours. Animals have a degree of understanding of the good & the bad. Freedom is a birthright for every being.
“Read 500 pages every day. That’s how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it.” - Warren Buffett

Please help me understand, how come people celebrate and post their AI-made pictures instead of appreciating who they genuinely are? Isn’t that a form of self-delusion?
