Jasmine once spent her days begging on the streets. Today, she is rediscovering her childhood. 💚
Jasmine spent decades giving rides to people, begging on the streets, and being paraded at events and ceremonies. Now, her days look a lot different. She loves spending time in the pond or pool (she's a total water baby!), spraying water with her trunk, digging little holes in the ground to scoop up mud, and taking mud baths.
It’s heartwarming to see Jasmine enjoy these simple pleasures and embrace the little things that make her happy. After decades of being made to work for people, she now has the time and space to explore, play, and do the things she enjoys most.
Jasmine’s story reminds us that elephants belong in the wild, not on busy streets, carrying people or being made to perform for entertainment. Watching her splash around in the pond is a reminder of all the natural behaviours they are forced to suppress when kept in captivity for human use, and of the joy they deserve to experience.

If I had known what a difference an N95 and air purifier could make in my overall health, I would have used them before Covid.
A respirator keeps me from getting sicker.
An air purifier reduces allergies, dust and MCAS symptoms.
We should want these tools in public spaces.

Nature Twitter is a shining beacon of light
It stands tall, resolute as lights are going out all over the world
The answer is not to dim the light, it is to shine ever brighter, so people know where the good is

“And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.”
—From The Masque of the Red Death (1842) by Edgar Allan Poe.

“Nature is an endless combination and repetition of a very few laws. She hums the old well-known air through innumerable variations.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882), “History”, from “Essays: First Series” (1842).

Images include spiralling rosettes of colourful succulents, intricately veined and patterned green leaves, an agave with white-edged leaves, knobbly mottled vegetable surfaces and deeply cracked tree bark. Repeating shapes, curves, symmetry and contrasting colours reveal the intricate beauty of nature.
