Two beagles DIED from an overdose at a contract testing lab 🚨
The parent lab, animal experimentation giant Inotiv, is consistently being cited by @usdagov.bsky.social, but its labs are still open 😖 It causes misery for animals everywhere it operates. It should be shut down & boarded up!
A vibrant, modern color portrait photograph of Susan Polgar, the Hungarian-American chess grandmaster, coach, and pioneering advocate for women and girls in chess. Shown from the waist up against a bright, clean background of a white brick wall and a large arrangement of white flowers in a metallic planter, Polgar smiles warmly and confidently at the viewer. Her long blonde hair falls in soft waves around her shoulders. She wears a sophisticated royal-blue short-sleeved dress, a chunky necklace, and a pearl bracelet. With her right hand gracefully extended toward the camera, she holds a light-colored wooden chess king piece in her open palm, presenting it as both trophy and symbol of mastery.The composition centers Polgar as the clear focal point, with the chess piece and floral backdrop adding elegant context and warmth. The overall mood is one of approachable confidence, accomplishment, and quiet empowerment. A true trailblazer, Polgar became the first woman to earn the unrestricted Grandmaster title in 1991 by meeting the same rigorous requirements as male players. She was the world’s top-ranked female player at age 15, Women’s World Chess Champion from 1996 to 1999, and winner of 11 medals at the Women’s Chess Olympiad. This image beautifully captures her enduring legacy as one of the greatest female chess players in history and a powerful force for gender equality in the game.

Mom and Business Owner, 43, Allegedly Murdered Just One Day After She Filed for Divorce Police say the woman appeared to have died from blunt force trauma, per multiple outlets By Toria Sheffield Published on April 19, 2026 05:52PM EDT 3 COMMENTS Lindha Paola Zerpa Lara. Credit: paoglowbeauty
Lindha Paola Zerpa Lara filed for divorce. Next day her estranged husband murdered her.
These types of men don't view their family as people but possessions and believe they have a right to "dispose" of that possession if they can't control it.
Murder becomes the ultimate expression of control.
She and the sisters Oversteegen, Truus and Freddie, were absolutely badass. Luring nazis and killing them. Even shot them while riding their bikes. That’s how you deal with fascists.
This black-and-white close-up portrait photograph captures Jannetje Johanna “Hannie” Schaft (16 September 1920 – 17 April 1945), the legendary Dutch resistance fighter known to the Nazis as “the girl with the red hair.” Shown from the shoulders up against a plain, dark studio background, she gazes slightly upward and to the right of the frame with quiet intensity. Her expression is calm yet resolute—lips gently closed, eyes clear and steady—conveying youthful determination and inner strength. She wears a dark, textured knitted sweater with a round neckline, her thick, wavy hair framing her face in soft curls. The tight composition centers entirely on her face and upper torso, creating an intimate, almost contemplative mood that belies the extraordinary courage of the young law student who abandoned her studies to join the Raad van Verzet. She forged identity cards for Jewish families, smuggled weapons and illegal newspapers, and carried out daring assassinations of Nazi officers and Dutch collaborators. Arrested just weeks before liberation, she was executed by firing squad on 17 April 1945 in the dunes near Haarlem. This powerful image stands as an enduring historical symbol of ordinary heroism and defiance against fascism, immortalizing a woman whose short life became a beacon of Dutch resistance.
#OTD in 1945, Dutch resistance fighter Hannie Schaft--𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘳--was executed by the Nazis at age 24.
Law student turned saboteur, she smuggled weapons & assassinated collaborators. Captured weeks before liberation, she faced the firing squad with defiance. #courage #WWII #HistSky
Imagine being pushed until your body breaks, only to be abandoned like trash and left to die alone when you can’t go on 💔 If her story breaks your heart, remember her when you travel. Never take carriage rides.
This black-and-white action photograph captures Nina Kuscsik (1939 – 8, 2025), the pioneering American long-distance runner and champion who became the first woman to officially win the Boston Marathon in 1972. Shown mid-stride on the historic Boston course, Kuscsik runs with powerful forward momentum, her arms pumping and legs extended in full athletic stride. She wears a simple dark short-sleeved top with visible race bib, dark athletic shorts, and classic running shoes of the era; her short dark hair is tousled from effort, and a focused, determined expression lights her face—mouth slightly open, eyes fixed ahead with quiet intensity and grit. The outdoor setting shows the paved road lined with spectators under bright daylight, emphasizing the raw energy of the 26.2-mile race. The tight, dynamic composition centers Kuscsik as the sole focal point, conveying a mood of triumphant perseverance and breakthrough resolve. This image immortalizes a watershed moment in sports history: on April 17, 1972, Kuscsik finished first among the eight official female entrants (time 3:10:26), shattering long-held myths that women couldn’t safely run marathons. A two-time New York City Marathon winner (1972, 1973), co-founder of the first women-only road race, and advocate whose efforts helped pave the way for Title IX, Kuscsik ran more than 80 marathons and became a symbol of equality in athletics. Her 1972 Boston victory remains a landmark of courage and change.
The #BostonMarathon was run #OTD in 1972 and, for the first time, women were officially allowed to enter.
Nina Kuscsik emerged from an 8-member field to win the race in 3:10:26. She would go to win the NYC Marathon and was the first woman to win both the marathons in the same year. #WomensHistory
NBC NEWS U.S. NEWS Singer D4vd arrested in the murder of teen months after she was found dead in the trunk of Tesla The remains of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez were found in an abandoned Tesla on Sept. 8. The singer is being held without bail, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
Funny how the 'wired to protect' crowd is real quiet every time another young girl is found in a trunk. It’s almost like the only thing they’re protecting is their own excuses.

She is a middle-aged woman with her hair styled in an elegant, voluminous Gibson-girl updo with soft curls framing the top and sides. She wears a lace-trimmed blouse with intricate floral embroidery on the shoulders and sleeves. The photograph has a classic, softly lit, formal quality typical of early 20th-century portrait photography.

If this were your dog, you wouldn’t look away 💔 Whether they’re a cow or a dog, they feel fear, cry out, and fight to stay alive until the very end. PETA Asia exposed dogs being beaten and killed for their skin. Leather always has a victim. Don’t wear it!
Poor goose… that’s what they do, quack. I hope they didn’t suffer to much… 😔
A black-and-white historical photograph of Jane Bolin, the first Black woman to serve as a judge in the United States. She is seated formally at a judge's bench, facing the camera with a calm and composed expression. Her dark hair is neatly styled and pulled back. She wears a short-sleeved, dark polka-dot dress with a V-neck collar. In her right hand, she holds a pen poised over a document on the desk, while her left arm rests beside it. A wooden gavel lies to her left on the bench. Behind her is a large, high-backed leather chair with studded trim, and the setting conveys the authority of a courtroom environment.
In 1939, Jane Bolin became the first Black woman to serve as a judge in the US.
Bolin was also the first Black woman to graduate from Yale Law School & to join the NYC Bar Association and the NYC Law Department. She was born #OTD in 1908.

If you're planning to wear a fringe suede jacket to Coachella this weekend, maybe rethink the fit 😬
Cows are forced to live in pure filth and are lined up one by one to be killed for their skin, right in front of each other. That fringe isn’t fashion, it’s violence 💔

A colorized, head-and-shoulders portrait of Florence Price, the pioneering Black composer. She is shown from the chest up, angled slightly to the right while looking directly at the camera with a calm, poised expression. She has short, elegantly styled wavy grey hair and wears a single pearl earring. She is dressed in a dark, reddish-brown or burgundy professional garment. The background is a soft, warm gradient of pale yellow and light blue.
Composer & pianist Florence Price (b. #OTD in 1887) made history as the first Black woman to have a symphony performed by a major US orchestra.
Her Symphony No. 1 was premiered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1933. #musicsky

Animals like turtles, tortoises, & more will no longer suffer like this for PetSmart.
After PETA investigations—like this exposé revealing animals shipped in takeout containers—& relentless pressure, it agreed to stop selling them!
Never buy an animal from a pet store!
Imagine the terror these mice felt when they were restrained and mutilated, with their brains left exposed for experimenters to poke and pry as they please 💔 This is horrific and routine in laboratories.

Ja, ik mag dat zeggen, want ik ben Hindoe. NIET JIJ! En het zijn Indiase niet Indianen. 🙄
Hmm nee volgens mij niet. Want in 2004 had je geen iPads en smartphones. The video van de armbanden was TikTok/IG format. En ik heb het een en ander over de bruiloft (gasten) op YouTube gezien.
