What can a simpler life look like? For Rachid, it means mountains, animals, healthy food and a life lived close to nature.
"It is a beautiful life."
@ouabbassrachid grew up like this in rural Morocco. When he started sharing videos of his everyday life people connected with them, often because they reminded them of how their parents and grandparents once lived.
Far from the noise of the city, he says this life gives him something harder to find elsewhere: freedom, peace of mind and simplicity.

Zia and Yusron fell in love while fighting for justice after exposing sexual abuse at their boarding school in Indonesia.
After Zia confided in Yusron that she had been sexually assaulted by their former headmaster, they began investigating.

Their former headmaster was recently detained by police over allegations of sexual abuse involving multiple students. He has denied all the allegations.
Zia and Yusron's fight for justice brought them closer together. Now the next chapter of their life is just beginning - they're getting married. ❤️

Meet the CPAP Baddies. 💪💤
Sleep apnoea can stop your breathing dozens of times a night, leaving you exhausted even after a full night's sleep.
For many, treatment means sleeping with a CPAP machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure). But the @cpapbaddies are challenging the stigma that comes with it by sharing the reality of life with sleep apnoea.

☢️⚠️ The glowing blue powder that changed a family’s life forever.
When six-year-old Leide das Neves Ferreira came across a glowing blue powder in her family's home, she had no idea it was deadly.
The substance had come from a radiotherapy device removed from an abandoned clinic and sold as scrap in the Brazilian city of Goiânia.
Leide died a month later, becoming the youngest victim of a disaster that exposed thousands of people to radiation and left lasting scars on survivors and their families.
Nearly four decades on, her uncle Odesson, who suffered radiation sickness and years of stigma, says the tragedy must never be forgotten.
"We must fight for people and ensure this never happens again, anywhere in the world."

Nature gave Brigid Lowe something she didn't know she was missing.
"There are no walls, no boundaries, very few paths... in a way you're just nothing in this place. There are no rules, you're just there.”
Living in England with her three children, the British writer and academic @brigidlowewriter realised she needed to be closer to nature and to rediscover “her path”. So she moved to Scotland.
Eager to embrace Scotland's wild beauty, Brigid set out to swim in 1,000 lochs.
"I told myself that because I was a woman with children and no resources, I couldn't afford to have adventures... that is absolutely not true."
Brigid says her connection with nature has grown - but we must respect its power:
"We still have some amazingly empty places that have never been tamed."
Brigid was drawn to legends of deep-water creatures like the Loch Ness Monster.
While swimming, she encountered a six-foot conger eel and was reminded of myths about women as underwater beings. It felt like a glimpse of herself.
Brigid has found freedom and peace in the lochs and says stepping outside her comfort zone has made her feel alive again.
"Nature, as well as offering scope for wonderful journeys... can offer us spaces of pause, and stillness."

🍕⛪ Before he became Pope Leo XIV, he was simply Father Roberto to one family in Chulucanas, Peru.
The missionary priest made pizzas for local children and became a close friend of Héctor Camacho, who later named his daughter Mildred after the future pope's mother and asked him to be her godfather.
Today, he leads millions of Catholics worldwide, but Mildred says she still feels his presence.

🐧🌋 Inside this active Antarctic volcano, gentoo penguins are thriving.
Deception Island is home to one of Antarctica's most remarkable wildlife hotspots, which ecologist Heather Lynch calls "one of the most stunning amphitheatres of penguinness".
Despite volcanic activity and a rapidly changing climate, gentoo penguins are a rare success story.
Scientists say their ability to adapt, from switching food sources to adjusting breeding habits, has helped their numbers grow while some other penguin species have declined.
Wildlife photographer Romain Barats captured life on the island, including a striking image of gentoo penguins among the rusting remains of its whaling past.
It's an extraordinary portrait of resilience, where wildlife and history collide in one of Antarctica's most unusual landscapes.
