His little ears at the end!

[Sheldrick Wildlife Trust @SheldrickTrust]

Bedtime for Bumpy! He approaches his room at a sprint, then - one little whir of the ears later - flops onto his mattress. A day spent cavorting in the water is tiring work, and our little hippo is more than ready for a good night’s sleep.

Bumpy is one of our newest arrivals. His mother died, likely in a territorial fight defending her baby’s life. He spent at least a day huddled by her body before the Kenya Wildlife Service rescued him and brought him into our care.

You can become part of Bumpy’s journey. Read his full rescue story and support him through an adoption: https://t.co/qAEjrv65WE

I should disclose that I am not associated with the fund, but I have personally donated.

I am putting out this reminder and request of my own accord.
I have not been asked to do so by Athana or anyone else... I simply feel strongly that it is a cause we should ALL support.

@servicerotties @wendytgibson @peachandcats @LilaFlw NO WAY!!!!!!!

[STEMArtist @StemArtist]

@servicerotties This is heartbreaking and beautiful. I’m so grateful he had you for his too short life. And I’m so glad you had him. In every picture he looks at you with so much love. A once in a lifetime dog for sure. And I understand the extra loss of losing someone who knew you “before”

Imagine being this man. No matter the animal they adore him

[Sheldrick Wildlife Trust @SheldrickTrust]

Yesterday, we introduced you to our newest addition, Bumpy the orphaned hippo. This was his flight down to Kaluku. He was a perfect passenger – he scrambled right into Keeper Joseph's lap and spent most of the trip chattering in little hippo grunts!

Bumpy is very new to the fold – he was rescued over the weekend. His mother appears to have died in a territorial fight, likely defending her baby's life.

Now, Bumpy has a family with us and a wild future ahead. Read his full rescue story and become part of his journey through an adoption: https://t.co/qAEjrv65WE

@AveryBa68752542 It is extra scary when people who don’t get sick do get sick. I’m so glad he’s better.

There’s finally proposed legislation for an accessibility act in Alberta — Bill 206 — but as someone with a significant disability, the comments here are gut-wrenching. There's an awful lot of animosity and outright disregard for people with disabilities — we get looked down upon a lot, like our needs are a burden or punchline. Those kinds of comments really suck when you're the one living the daily barriers they dismiss and demonstrate the attitude we have to face every day.

Yeah, a lot of the comments are politically motivated… but accessibility isn’t partisan. It’s basic dignity, and it could affect any of us at any moment — even temporarily.

As a power-wheelchair user in Edmonton with my service rottie 🦽🐕‍🦺, much of my "normal" day sucks because:
• High thresholds block me from coffee shops/local stores — a cheap ramp could fix it
• Even in new strip malls, most places don’t have a power door button, so I’m often stuck begging strangers for help just to get inside
• “Accessible” bathrooms too tiny to turn or close the door
• "Accessible" Parking that won’t fit my van ramp, it really sucks to get blocked out of your vehicle when it's cold out.

Then the big stuff hits harder:
• Doctor/clinic offices without ramps/auto doors or even worse, adjustable exam tables a person can transfer onto
• Finding accessible rentals? Nearly impossible — sure they have to have ramps and elevators, but the individual units aren't required to be accessible at all. Buying an accessible house is even harder. Developers could be required to offer an accessible option when they build new communities, but until they have to do this, they won't.

Most people just don’t care because it doesn’t affect them… yet. Everyone becomes disabled at some point, even temporarily. When it effects them, they’ll wish Alberta had proactive standards.

The Human Rights Act? 2+ years of stress per complaint. We’re forced to beg/negotiate constantly.

Bill 206 flips it: standards, plans, trained staff upfront so barriers get removed before we fight for them. Dignity over daily battles.

Alberta — support this now. I don't care what political party you support. Because it isn't about politics. It's about being able to have a life with some semblance of quality.

On this day in 2020, I decided to take a walk in nature. The world around me was uncertain. Then these shapes in the “Grasses” caught my eye. The first “Bent But Not Broken” sculpture was born.
