Save Florida’s State Parks
Growing up vacationing in Florida, I cherished the opportunity to visit its state parks. These parks provided an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, offering a haven of natural beauty and wildlife. Unlike golf courses, resorts, or sporting courts, these parks were adorned with nature trails, open spaces, pristine beaches, refreshing springs, historic monuments, crystal-clear rivers, and the enchanting presence of nature itself. Every family visit culminated in a perfect day, leaving us with cherished memories.

Five Things Star Wars “Critics” Need to Remember. Content Warning.
As a self-respecting and open-minded Star Wars fan, one significant challenge is dogmatic critics who claim to be "fans" of the franchise. However, these critics cannot grasp the fundamental elements of the series, such as exploring politics, social justice issues, women in power, and the injustices of war, which have been integral to the franchise since its inception with A New Hope nearly five decades ago.

Aquarium Belugas Have Playful Mouth-to-Mouth Interactions
Within the animal kingdom, physical contact makes up a vital modality of social interaction. For mammals, a diverse array of social contact types exists, including affiliative contact (e.g., nuzzling, rubbing, holding), maternal-infant contact, sociosexual contact, social grooming, and aggressive contact (e.g., biting, scratching, wrestling). These behaviors present distinct forms and functions. Mother-infant contact, for instance, encompasses maternal behaviors that foster social bonds and development during the initial year of an infant's life. Remarkably, many animal species rely upon social contact as an essential aspect of their existence. It facilitates the consolidation of bonds within their social groups and mediates conflicts. Juvenile bottlenose dolphins exemplify this, as they engage in sociosexual contact, often leading to enduring bonds.
