On this day in 1872, Poet, novelist & playwright Paul Laurence Dunbar was born in Ohio.

Paul Laurence Dunbar is noted to be the first African American writer born after slavery to make a professional living by his literary pen alone. The poet and novelist was born in 1872 in Dayton, Ohio to former slaves, and accounts say his parents’ experiences as slaves would later inspire his writing.

Will this be part of Texas's Bible study?

Leviticus 19:33–34: “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself.”

Ese abrazo al final me partió el alma.
Gracias por esos hombres que ayudan a encontrar a personas aún con vida tras la tragedia en Venezuela.

In the middle of one of Venezuela's deadliest disasters, a mother's final act became a symbol of unconditional love.
When two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela on June 24, 2026, entire neighborhoods were reduced to rubble. Buildings collapsed, families were separated, and thousands of people found themselves searching desperately for loved ones.
Among those affected was the family of Venezuelan footballer Héctor "Kike" Bello.

His wife, Andrea, was at home with their daughter Alana, who was just 1 year and 8 months old, when their apartment building in La Guaira collapsed.
As the structure came down around them, Andrea made a decision no mother should ever have to make.
She used her own body to shield her little girl.

Rescue teams worked tirelessly through the debris, hoping to find survivors.
Hours later, they discovered Alana alive beneath the rubble.
Andrea had protected her until the very end.
Sadly, she did not survive.

After the tragedy, Héctor Bello shared an emotional message that touched thousands of people.
He called Andrea "our favourite heroine."
He promised that one day, when Alana was old enough to understand, he would tell her exactly what her mother had done.
That she never stopped protecting her.
That she gave everything so her daughter could live.
That her final act was one of pure love.
Stories like Andrea's remind us that behind every natural disaster are families whose lives change forever.
Statistics tell us how many buildings collapsed.
How many people were injured.
How many lives were lost.
But they can never fully capture the courage, sacrifice, and love shown in moments like these.

A mother's love is often described as unconditional.
Andrea showed the world exactly what those words can mean.
Even in her final moments...
Her only thought was her daughter.

In 2015, 16-year-old Jamie Harrington was walking through Dublin when he noticed a man sitting on the edge of the Ha'penny Bridge, preparing to end his life.

Instead of walking past, Jamie stopped and asked four simple words:

"Are you okay?"

The teenager stayed with the man for around 45 minutes, talking to him, listening, and convincing him to step away from the edge. Although the man begged him not to, Jamie called an ambulance to make sure he received the help he needed.

Before they parted ways, they exchanged phone numbers.

A few months later, Jamie received an unexpected phone call. The man shared that his wife was expecting a baby boy and told Jamie they had decided to name their son Jamie in honor of the teenager whose kindness had given him a second chance at life.

It was a powerful reminder that sometimes the smallest act of compassion can change a life forever. A simple question, asked at the right moment, can become the reason someone chooses to keep living.

Kathrin Gebel’s apology was a classic deadpan political joke:

“I have to apologize because I recently said nonsense in the Bundestag. The clitoris doesn’t have 3,000 nerve endings. It has 10,000.”

She then says that confusing the number is understandable because women’s bodies and women’s health have long been neglected in research. She also adds that she wasn’t trying to compare Martin Reichardt to a vulva, because the vulva is strong and resilient—and her point was that he isn’t.

[Outspoken™️ @Out5p0ken]

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded:

“Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:

"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

He synthesized the medicine that stopped arthritis pain for millions, so they threw explosives through his window.

In 1950, Dr. Percy Julian, a pioneering chemist who synthesized steroids, bought a home in Oak Park, Illinois. He was fifty-one. He was also a Black man moving into an all-white suburb. The local water company refused to turn on his service. The town wanted him out.

Julian didn't leave. He went to work. At his laboratory in Chicago, he studied plant sterols. At the time, cortisone was extracted from the bile of slaughtered oxen. It cost hundreds of dollars. Only the rich could afford to stop hurting.

Julian changed the math. He figured out how to mass-produce cortisone using cheap soybeans.

But a brilliant mind couldn't buy him peace at home. On Thanksgiving Eve in 1950, before the family even unpacked, attackers threw a firebomb onto their property. Eight months later, dynamite exploded under his children's bedroom window.

The police chief advised him to move to a different town.

According to historical records from the Oak Park police, Julian instead climbed into a tree in his front yard with a shotgun. He sat in the dark branches. He guarded his own front door.

He held more than 130 chemical patents. U.S. Patent No. 2,752,339 details the exact process that brought affordable steroids to pharmacy shelves worldwide.

He stayed in Oak Park until his death in 1975. Genius rarely gets a quiet neighborhood. Today, millions of people swallow a daily pill that stops their joints from aching. They do not know his name. The house on East Chicago Avenue is still standing.

I'm a funeral director. Nineteen years. You'd think after that long, very little would surprise you. You're wrong.

Last year a father called me after losing his wife in a car accident. Gone instantly. He had a request I'd never heard before.

"I want my seven-year-old twins to see her before the funeral." I hesitated.

Most families shield children from that. His voice cracked. "They keep asking when Mommy is coming home. They still think this is temporary.

I don't know how to help them understand." I spent hours preparing her. More carefully than usual. Not because the work was different.

Because the visitors were. I've prepared thousands of people over the years. That day felt different.

When the twins arrived, they climbed onto a small step stool beside their mother's casket.

The little girl reached for her hand first. Pulled back slightly. "She's cold." Their father knelt beside them. Fighting tears. "Yes, sweetheart.

Every morning at 8:30, my coworker walks into the office looking put together. Her hair is neat, she smiles at everyone, and she always seems calm and organized. One evening, I found out there was much more going on in her life than anyone knew. I had forgotten my laptop charger at work and went back to get it. On my way down the stairs, I saw her sitting alone on the steps, crying so hard she could barely breathe.
Later, I learned that she takes care of her younger brother, who is seriously ill, and her mother, who is starting to suffer from dementia. After work, she spends her evenings giving medications, helping them move around, handling appointments, and worrying about medical bills. At work, she isn't pretending to be happy. The office is simply the one place where she can be more than a caregiver. For a few hours each day, she gets to be herself.
That moment reminded me that we never really know what someone else is going through. The people who seem the strongest and most capable are often carrying burdens we can't see. So be kind to people. Everyone is fighting battles you may know nothing about.
