[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.

A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.

Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”

Values are transmitted from generation to generation.

What values are we teaching our children?

Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

A heart-breaking moment saved in an SS picture of deportations of Hungarian Jews at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. It was taken 79 years ago, most likely in late May 1944.

A little child found a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older boy. All the people in this picture were waiting to be killed in gas chamber. They were murdered some time later.

Please RT this unique document.

Simply stunning. It's always been on my bucket list - this C13th chapel (which may have foundations dating back to the C6th) sits cockled to the limestone cliffs of St. Govan's Head in Pembrokeshire.

Forget-me-not fun fact: the yellow ring at the flower’s centre fades to white after pollination, signalling to insects there’s no more nectar. The insects therefore learn to visit the flowers that haven’t yet been pollinated, ensuring no forget-me-not flower is forgotten 🤙

I spent an afternoon weeding… a constantly and un-winnable battle in my garden. The tulips cheered me right up though 🌷

After spending a lovely afternoon drawing and napping in the back of the van I thought I’d share the last photo I have of him before he failed his MOT test for the final time. Outside the wonderful mental health and arts charity @thehorsfall_42ndstreet.

@rRetro87 @Fjallraven_Swe I’d have thrown that away thinking it was just the packaging 😂 @Fjallraven_NA

[reconsidered Retro @rRetro87]

I was given a @Fjallraven_Swe bag for my birthday because I’ve wanted one for years but I was pretty disappointed to find that their seat pad/back padding looks like cheap packing foam. For a £95 bag I would have expected something a little more!

Started my birthday off in the most perfect way for me, with an early morning wild swim with my favourite wild woman Claire. Followed by tea and homemade chocolate truffles sat by the lake 😊
