Two FL manatees who spent decades in 'deteriorating conditions' will soon be moved to a sanctuary. Advocacy group UrgentSeas posted a viral clip last month, showing the living conditions of 67-year-old Romeo and 61-year-old Juliet, who had been at the Miami Seaquarium since 1956.

Coco Gauff says playing tennis is not real pressure compared to people who are struggling to feed their families:

“I think it's just putting my life into perspective.. I realize in a way it's pressure, but it's not. There are people struggling to feed their families. There are people who don’t know where their next meal is gonna come from, people who have to pay their bills. That's real pressure, that's real hardship, that's real life.”

Great perspective from Coco. ❤️

Lord, have mercy. 😔

We do not know the cause, but I find it imperative to say to everyone:

Learn CPR.

Go to your local YMCA, ask if they have a class to take. If you start CPR as soon as you witness someone become unresponsive from their heart stopping YOU CAN SAVE THEIR LIFE

Tori Bowie was a leader and an inspiration on and off the track. She represented our nation with excellence and grace. She should be alive today.

As we grieve her tragic death alongside her teammates and loved ones, we are reminded that women in America die at a higher rate from pregnancy-related causes than women in any other developed nation in the world. And in this country, Black women are three times as likely to die from pregnancy-related complications.

We must see this clearly for what it is – a maternal health crisis. That is why we must continue to fight to protect the lives of every woman and every mother in our nation.

A UK study is believed to have found the first direct evidence that babies in the womb react differently to varying tastes & smells. Durham University researchers observed fetuses from 70+ pregnant women, all between 32 & 36 weeks old, & their reactions to carrots vs. kale.

Six people, including three children, were killed last week in a school shooting in Nashville. 

How did Republican lawmakers in Tennessee respond?

By expelling their colleagues who stood with Tennesseans and said enough is enough. 

This is undemocratic and dangerous.

If you are a new grad and a job posting said NEW GRAD FRIENDLY OR NEW GRAD WELCOME … Ask them exactly what that means? Is there mentorship and support? If yes, how ? Have this is written how they intend to help you..

The mentoring part 👇🏾🥴

[Lovelyy @LovelyyOt]

new grad <6 months in & already wanting to switch careers & we still think all is well 🤨

1. Some Companies DO not provide adequate mentoring as promised
2. Some Schools are not adequately preparing students
3. no affordable resources for students
