We're taking a look at where the North Atlantic right whale population stands. The species saw a “modest” increase in 2024, with fewer deaths reported than in recent years. The estimate puts the current pop. at 384. Find out more from @newenglandaquarium https://t.co/DoPreONt7u

Born #OnThisDay 250 years ago, Jane Austen’s words still meet us where we are: clear-eyed, courageous, and deeply human.

Her stories remind us that agency, integrity, and self-knowledge are not modern ideas, but enduring ones.

Happy 250th birthday, #JaneAusten!

❌ Stop telling women how to be
✅ Start listening to women

[Heather Barr @heatherbarr1]

“Afghanistan’s women’s movement, in particular, has demonstrated incredible resilience…The vocal & powerful End Gender Apartheid campaign, which urges states to codify the crime of gender apartheid in the draft CAH Convention, is another example.” https://t.co/t8o42S3jxN
