Trevor Project released its annual LGBTQ youth mental health report. The results are shocking. 40% of trans youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. Trans youth who wanted hormones but couldn’t access them were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide than those who could.
Key findings from The 2025 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People include:

36% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, including 40% of transgender and nonbinary young people. 
1 in 10 LGBTQ+ young people attempted suicide in the past year.
44% of LGBTQ+ young people who wanted mental health care in the past year were not able to get it.
90% of LGBTQ+ young people said recent anti-LGBTQ+ laws, policies and debates caused them stress or anxiety.
LGBTQ+ young people of color attempted suicide at higher rates than their White peers, and nearly a third (32%) also experienced racial or ethnic discrimination, in addition to anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination.
Transgender and nonbinary young people who wanted hormones but couldn’t access them were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide than those who could.
Over half (59%) of LGBTQ+ young people ages 13-17 experienced bullying in the past year, and those who did reported significantly higher rates of attempting suicide in the past year than their peers.
LGBTQ+ young people who reported living in very accepting communities attempted suicide at less than a third of the rate of those who reported living in very unaccepting communities.

Let's do the milk maths. Nursery babies: 16 bottles a day. Older orphans at our Reintegration Units: 6 bottles a day. Across all our orphans, that adds up to more than 260,000 bottles a year — all freshly mixed by our Keepers. Donate a milk feed: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/shop/wishlist

A notable footnote from Justice Kagan, pointing out that if the court is so into parental rights why didn't it take up the claim brought by parents of transgender kids who want them to get gender-affirming care?

For Alex Pretti

Because his last words were for a woman;
because he asked,
are you okay, are you okay;
because he had learned to say it
by standing each night beside the dying;
because sometimes he held their hands;
because he had lived only as long
as the scent of childhood in an album;
because he was a son;
because he sang once;
because of all of it,
because of all of it,
because of all of it,
tell it, tell the story:
a breath has left;
a country is dying;
and a man laid his face 
on its pavement today
as though he were listening 
to a patient's heart—
even then, even at the ending—
to do what he was there to do: heal.

22 months of pregnancy – the longest of any mammal – and Zongoloni's seemed to stretch on forever. But Zigi was worth the wait. She was notorious for trying to 'kidnap' friends' babies. Now, at last, she has a son of her own. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/n...

It’s a girl! Yesterday, 25-year-old Nasalot returned to Ithumba with her family — which included a notable new addition! Nala, as we named her, is Nasalot’s first daughter. We have no doubt Nala will be able to hold her own among big brothers Nusu and Noah.

The western media always refers to “the hostages” as those held by Hamas. Apparently they are too lazy to access the readily available evidence, or so imbued with an attitude of dehumanising and ignoring Palestinians (aka racism), that they rarely mention the hundreds of hostages held by Israel.

Ex-orphan Lualeni's third baby and first son arrived in late April, and already this little bull is developing his own personality. At five months, Luki is becoming more confident and independent – testing boundaries whilst always staying within trunk's reach of protective Lualeni.

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

I think it is important to note that there’s nothing wrong with having a different neurotype, such as Autism (ASD), ADHD, etc. Pathologizing someone with Autism potentially exacerbates existing harms they’re likely already struggling with. It leads to harmful labeling and stigma.

Zigi seizing an opportunity to bug Lenny! Initially, Lenny was determined to ignore him, but the younger bull tailed him, pulled his ears, and made himself such a nuisance that he had to engage. The antics even caught Kapei's attention - and he usually can't be bothered with baby play!

From a mischievous baby to a calm, capable young leader, Mwana (leading in both clips) has grown so much over the past two years. The very first wild grandbaby born to our Umani orphan herd, Mwana has clearly been taking notes from her mother, matriarch Murera.

Our SWT/KWS Canine Unit, established in 2016, has covered 7,588 km on patrol in five years - roughly the distance from Cape Town to Beijing, nose to the ground. Their dedication has led to 75 arrests. Our four-legged team members, like Bela, have become some of our greatest anti-poaching assets.

Ex-orphan Zongoloni was desperate to be a mum! When Murera gave birth to Mwana in 2023, Zongoloni made unsuccessful attempts to kidnap the baby. After watching Lima Lima and Sonje become mums, it was finally her turn. In April 2025, she gave birth to Zigi - a wonderful moment for our ex-orphan.
