Everybody plants for butterflies and bees, but not many folks are planting for the graveyard shift.
There are far more species of moths than butterflies, and more pollination happens after dark than most people realize. While you sleep, moths are out working the garden.
Feed the adults with pale, fragrant flowers that open at dusk. Evening primrose, native phlox, yucca, and native coral honeysuckle are all favorites. Yucca is especially remarkable: its flowers are pollinated only by yucca moths, and those moths depend on yucca in return.
Feed the caterpillars too, because caterpillars are baby bird food. Oaks host more moth species than almost any other North American plant, and native cherry, willow, birch, and spicebush are all excellent hosts.
And the single best thing you can do costs nothing: turn off the porch light, or switch to a warm amber bulb. Artificial light at night disrupts moth navigation and behavior.
Plant the flowers, dim the lights, and the night crew shows up in droves.
Wondering how our Keepers became elephant guardians?
It’s not anything one would find on a resume. While many of our Keepers have shambas or raise livestock back home, none have worked professionally with elephants before. Over the years, we've found it best to include the orphans in our recruitment process: they are quick to identify the ‘X factor’ that makes an excellent Keeper, which is why we ultimately put recruitment in their capable hands. New candidates join the orphan herd on a trial basis, and if they are embraced by the elephants, they are hired as a full-time Keeper. Keeper Jackson passed the ‘interview’ years ago, and has been a vital part of our team since.
Our logic is that each person, with their diverse background, opens a whole new dimension to the role. This strategy has the added bonus of fostering conservation awareness across the country. Keepers become vital ambassadors within their own communities. Over the years, many orphans have been saved by ordinary people who developed empathy for elephants through a Keeper who is a father, uncle, friend, or neighbour.
Can you imagine being so desperate that you try to fail?
In Afghanistan, a young girl tried to fail 5th grade just so she could repeat the year, because the Taliban bans girls' education after it. Despite her efforts to fail, her brilliance shone through and she passed with the 1st ranking.
Now, she’s a street vendor with no hope and dreams of a future.
A heartbreaking glimpse into how an entire nation’s human potential is being intentionally destroyed by Taliban 💔 #LetAfghanGirlsLearn #Afghanistan

How pathetic is it that millions actually believe that a sewer cover is proof of a so-called State of Palestine?
The Palestinian passport, Palestinian currency, this sewer cover, and even the name "Palestine" were nothing more than administrative labels created under the British Mandate. Back then, everyone in the land, Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Druze, were called Palestinians.
But over time, Arabs hijacked the Palestinian identity, erased the Jewish connection to it, and turned it into a fabricated cause built on illusion. They weaponized a bureaucratic term and repackaged it as an ancient nation that never existed.
Ein 12-jähriges Mädchen kommt mit starken Bauchschmerzen ins Krankenhaus.
Dort stellt sich heraus: Sie ist schwanger.
Das Baby ist gesund, doch der Vater ist der 16-jährige Bruder des Mädchens.
Schon mit 15 verging er sich immer wieder an seiner Schwester. Im Herbst 2024 kam es dann zur Vergewaltigung und zur Schwangerschaft.
Das Mädchen schwieg und niemand schöpfte Verdacht. Man dachte, die Kleine hätte einfach etwas zugenommen. Sowas passiert ja auch nur anderen und gewiss nicht in "gutem Hause"...
Das alles trug sich in Karlsbad (CZ) zu. Das Landgericht Pilsen hat den 16-jährigen Vergewaltiger nun verurteilt:
3 Jahre auf Bewährung, Sexualtherapie und eine Zahlung von 12.500 Euro an sein Opfer, seine Schwester.
Wie man sieht, ist Milde und Kuschelkurs bei Pädos und Vergewaltigern auch in CZ möglich.
Der Bruder ist frei, die Schulden irgendwann abbezahlt. Seine Schwester wird ihr Leben lang mit dem Erlebten zurecht kommen müssen und ihr Kind wächst in einer Pflegefamilie auf.
Aber hey, vielleicht hilft die Therapie ja und der Pädo-Bruder wird mal ein treusorgender Ehemann und Familienvater............
Muslims went crazy after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this:
"Radical Islam doesn’t want just a small caliphate in Iraq or Syria. They see the United States as the greatest evil on Earth and seek to dominate the entire West. Radical Islam is revolutionary, it wants endless expansion, terrorism, assassinations, and total control. They hate America, Europe, Israel, and every Muslim nation that partners with us. Orlando, Pensacola, and domestic attacks prove it.
Radical Islam is a clear and imminent threat to the world."
I agree with every single word he said.
ANOTHER ONE!
Damien Stewart KILLED Breanne Keane (19) in her apartment last Saturday when the two had a disagreement, police said in court documents. After the argument, Stewart picked up a large kitchen-style knife and stabbed Keane in the stomach, police said.
After she fell to the kitchen floor, Stewart squatted next to her and continued stabbing her several more times, according to police.
The media ignored this story. Why? Breanne is the wrong color to be a victim.

🚨 HEARTBREAKING & INFURIATING CALL FROM LONDON 🚨
A terrified British woman breaks down in tears on TalkTV, exposing the nightmare ordinary people are living through:
"WE'RE NOT RACIST — WE'RE PETRIFIED!"
"What are these politicians doing to us? They're putting EVERYONE in danger!"
"I don't leave the house without a man anymore."
- Her local shop: 3 stabbings and 1 murder
- Her friend: murdered last year
- A girl she knows: murdered in the park
- Her cousin: murdered
- Now begging her son to flee the country
"OUR FRIENDS. OUR FAMILY ARE DYING."
This is what open borders, soft policies, and zero enforcement get you. Time to wake up and put citizens first — before it's too late. 🇬🇧
(Share if you want real leaders who secure borders and restore safety.)
I'M A TERRORIST AGAIN

I was detained under section 3 of the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019.
My phone has been seized by the police.
So here we go again, looks like more defence and court fees ffs!!!
Absolute fucking madness.
Please help kick off my legal fund for defence here - https://t.co/IBf12EjvdO
In Offenbach werden schwule Männer wohl mittels einer Dating-App von jungen Männerbanden gezielt in Hinterhalte gelockt und dann verprügelt.
Bei fünf von sieben Fällen soll es sich gemäß von Opferberichten um junge Männer zwischen 15 und 20 Jahren handeln, die einem „arabischen oder südländischen Phänotyp“ entsprechen. Man schließe auf einen Zusammenhang zwischen dem offensichtlichen Hass auf Schwule und einem streng muslimischen Weltbild, das die Täter offenbar teilen.
Mensch. Da sind wir aber sehr überrascht. Das konnte ja niemand ahnen. Deutschland, deine Zukunft. Aber Bundespräsident Hape Kerkeling wird es schon richten und die AfD als Hauptproblem benennen.

🚨YOUNG MALE GANG R@PED BY 16 IRGC MEMBERS 🚨
This is very difficult to post but we must know the truth.
A 21-year-old Iranian MALE was gang r@ped by SIXTEEN IRGC members at a police station simply for protesting for human rights.
In this heartbreaking testimony from the man's mother we hear how they feel like ending their lives and how "unbearable" it is.
THE IRGC ARE USING R@PE AS A TOOL OF REPRESSION!!
WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE!!
SHARE WITH THE WORLD THE TRUTH!!
Berlin heute: Seit fast einem halben Jahr gehen mutige Deutsche-Iraner auf die Straße und fordern Demokratie für den Iran sowie die Schließung der Terrorbotschaft des Regimes. Trotz Schweigen, Ignoranz und Ausgrenzung durch viele Medien und Politiker geben sie nicht auf. Denn sie stehen an der Seite jener Menschen im Iran, die unter Einsatz ihres Lebens für Freiheit, Demokratie und ein Ende der islamistischen Diktatur kämpfen. #IranRevolution2026 #b1306
This is heavy but important.
An Israeli combat medic named Daniel Elbo Arama shares what he saw treating a young woman right after the October 7 attacks.
She was barely clothed, covered in blood, and begged him for help.
In the ambulance she told him she had been raped by four terrorists. The bleeding was so bad they had to use medications normally given for gunshot wounds. She needed hours of surgery afterward.
Daniel has worked in emergency response for twenty years, including in conflict zones, but he says this day will stay with him forever.
Raw testimony like this shows exactly what happened that day.
We can’t forget.
