A female Swan who fell ill and was taken to an animal hospital for treatment. This is the moment she was reunited with her partner, from whom she'd been separated for 3 weeks. Such a touching moment ❤️.

When one side criticizes a player for being a liberal idiot (I cleaned that up, believe me), and the other side criticizes that player for saying things that don't fit their (limited) perception of her--well, that kind of says it all. 🤔

Jessica Pegula lost in grand slam qualifying 12 times between 2011 and 2018, didn't make a third round until 2020, but she kept showing up and believing she could improve. Perseverance counts for so much.

Diede de Groot defeats her friend and doubles partner Aniek Van Koot 6-2, 6-2 and advances to the semifinals. She's with her new coach, and she's looking like herself! #AusOpen #WheelchairTennis

Sorry, Pete Buttigieg--I'm not ready to hear about the random killing of innocents from *you*.
