Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message from it.
Gisele Pelicot is the most powerful person on Earth. She has empowered millions of women by courageously breaking her silence about surviving serial rapes. For me, she is the person of the century.
A defining moment of this trial: #GisèlePelicot, in her final time on the stand, addressed her decision to keep the surname "Pelicot":
"When the trial began, my children were 'ashamed' of the name. I have grandchildren called that. I want them proud. My name is known worldwide now. They shouldn't be ashamed. Today we will remember Gisèle Pelicot."
Never forget what this woman has achieved.

NEW: 90-year-old veteran who was forced to pawn jewelry to take care of his wife with dementia, gets $300,000 raised for him after his story went viral.
W.
A GoFundMe was started by Jenelle Marie after the veteran, 'Donald,' came into her shop to pawn jewelry after he fell "behind terribly on all of his bills."
The video below went viral on TT which showed Marie giving him an envelope with $1300 in it.
Marie then launched a GoFundMe, raising over $300,000 which will help Donald pay off debt he accrued while taking care of his wife.
"He is the sweetest old man you could ever meet and loves his wife dearly. He takes care of her around the clock and his landlord is raising their rent and he is falling behind terribly with all of his bills," the GoFundMe said.
Zip was a champion agility dog, when she was hit by a car and paralyzed. When she came to competitions to watch her brother, “her whole body lit up”.
They let her do a fun run after the competition and her joy is everything.. 🥺 https://t.co/Kv9Hjpyzw9
🧵I don't know who needs to hear this but Donald Trump raped and sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl from Epstein's child sex trafficking ring multiple times. Not just any 13-year-old girl, one that looked like his daughter Ivanka who was 13 years old that same year. Her name is Katie Johnson. Here is the complaint she filed in 2016. After being threatened with death, she dropped her case...just 4 days before the election. Donald Trump is a pedophile. That's why he was such good friends with a convicted pedophile. This isn't difficult to understand. Read her entire 6-page complaint. #IBelieveKatie

Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it.
You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21.
Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow.
Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.
Never tell yourself you missed your chance.
Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.
You can do it. Whatever it is that sets your soul on fire.
