There are some stories that defy telling. They are too complex, emotional, technical. They challenge our morality. They are unwieldy and deep. It is a unique breed of professional who can wrap their arms around such a story and tell it with intelligence and heart. This is both a thank you to @kurtmutchler, Senior Photo Editor for fighting for the tough frames and thank you my Photo Sister @maggie Steber, for sharing your relationship with the Stubblefield family. But also, a critical message to everyone who sees the story of Katie’s new Face—Please ACT— Sign your organ donor card, Listen to your loved ones who may have depression or trauma issues, Volunteer for the local Suicide Hotline, and finally—listen, truly listen to those living through the fragile times of life—our youth and our elders.

Hello, world! Meet today’s #WeeklyFluff: Melvin and Bianca (@bunnymelv), two bunnies living their best cage-free life in Sweden. “Melvin and Bianca liked each other immediately, but have two very different personalities,” says their human, Felicia Ohlsson. “Melvin is very curious and outgoing and follows me around everywhere. Bianca is independent and has a lot of energy — she loves to climb on furniture and windowsills.”
With her account, Felicia hopes to educate others on keeping rabbits as cage-free pets. “The training process from caged to cage-free is quite simple but needs to be taken slowly,” she says. “But it’s all worth it, because bunnies make such great company.”

“Baby humpback whales are very inquisitive by nature. Their curiosity used to be their downfall during the times of whaling in Tonga, as they were easy targets,” writes #YourShotPhotographer Leighton Lum. “Since the whaling has stopped, more whales have shown up every year to breed and raise their calves.”

“What an incredible view of a peaceful creature! I love how it looks like this ‘little’ whale is giving us the eye. Though I love the deep blue of the ocean, seeing this scene in black and white slows it down to let us truly appreciate this awesome mammal. Well done!” — @natgeoyourshot Associate Photo Editor Kristen McNicholas (@kemcnicholas)
