Teachers are some of the most important people in our community, and yet they are one of the most undervalued. It takes a special person to dedicate their life to educate others, serve as role models, give advice, and mentor the younger generations. We often hear about how teachers have gone above and beyond to help others and, more specifically, the children in their care. One such hero is Jonathan Oliver – a phys-ed teacher at WG Nunn Elementary in Valdosta, Georgia – who was recognized for his kind act towards a kindergartener while coaching a basketball game. After one of his students came to him for assistance, he was only more than happy to help her. When one of the kindergarteners on Oliver’s basketball team, Kristen Paulk, asked him to help tie her hair back in a pon...

Annie Windley, a 21-year-old from Derbyshire, England, has emerged as a beacon of hope and resilience for those battling eating disorders. Her story is one of incredible perseverance, illustrating the profound challenges and eventual triumph over anorexia—a condition that nearly claimed her life. After years of severe undernourishment, eating just one piece of bread a day, and facing life-threatening health risks, Annie has bravely shared her journey to recovery to inspire others facing similar struggles. The Dark Days of Anorexia Annie’s battle with anorexia began in 2012 when she was just a teenager.

It is easy to become a backseat parent, especially when the parent in question is a social media influencer. Content creator and dad Jordan Driskell recently faced a wave of varying opinions about his parenting methods after posting a video that showed him walking his 5-year-old quintuplets on a leash. The original post was captioned: “Come walk a mile in my shoes,” and it quickly went viral, garnering over 3 million views and more than 7,200 comments. Jordan – who has posted videos to TikTok oddly referring to his kids as “pet sperm” – mentioned in a follow-up post that this is his most popular video ever, thanking people for “blowing it up.” Most of the comments, however, were not kind. Many compared the children to dogs. One user asked: “Are they rescues?” Another bl...

Jae-lynn Chaney, a prominent plus-size travel influencer, is taking a stand against discriminatory airline policies that force larger passengers to pay double for their travel experience. Through her activism and petitioning efforts, Chaney is urging airlines to implement comprehensive customer-of-size policies that prioritize the comfort and well-being of all passengers. Chaney’s advocacy stems from her personal experiences of facing discrimination and challenges while flying due to her size. She highlights the unfairness of having to pay two fares for the same travel experience that smaller-bodied individuals receive for one fare. Despite acknowledging that changing these policies may lead to increased ticket prices for all passengers, Chaney emphasizes the importance of addressin...

It’s truly unbelievable how cruel some people can be to dogs. A sweet pup named Riona suffered as much as anybody after being brutally set on fire by her owner last year. But almost exactly a year after that horrific incident, Riona is finally going to her new home. Last June, residents in Nutbush, Tennessee witnessed a shocking site as Riona, a pitbull mix, ran down the street engulfed in flames. The smell of gas made it clear that she had been intentionally set on fire. “All you could smell was gas,” Mallory Mclemore of Bluff City Veterinary Specialists told Memphis Commercial Appeal. “She was burnt and covered in diesel fuel… It confirmed she was set on fire via witness statements,” Ginger Natoli, founder of the Tails of Hope Dog Rescue, told Newsweek. “We have obtai...
