| Hamill was responding to a gay fan who was afraid to come out. |
| A debate among Star Wars fans has resurfaced online after a recent tweet from William Shatner, star of the original Star Trek TV series and films.. It revolves around Mark Hamill, the actor who played Luke Skywalker in the storied sci-fi fantasy. In a 2016 interview, Hamill shared that he had a simple question that was asked of him by many fans: Is Luke Skywalker gay? Hamill gave an amazing response. |
| “Fans are writing and ask all these questions, ‘I’m bullied in school… I’m afraid to come out.’ They say to me, ‘Could Luke be gay?’ I’d say it is meant to be interpreted by the viewer. If you think Luke is gay, of course he is. You should not be ashamed of it. Judge Luke by his character, not by who he loves.” |

| “In just a few hours they did more things than I could have done for my wife in weeks.” |
| Expecting a new baby is a thing to celebrate. Most expectant couples are thrown a traditional baby shower–with food, gifts, games and more. But they can also become a big production–which is why Tiana Krah’s girlfriends decided to skip it and instead throw her a ‘nesting’ party. |
| Tiana’s husband, Myer Gzi-gzi Krah, shared a video on Instagram of exactly how they rallied around their entire family to help them nest (aka prepare) to welcome their new baby–the couple’s fifth child. He captioned the video, ‘Are Baby Showers Out in 2025?’, adding, “We Skipped the Baby Shower… And It Was the Best Decision Ever!💪🏾 Baby showers are cool and all, I actually love the meatballs but I don’t need meatballs—I need help!😂” |

| So… when are we getting the matching 4-day work week? |
| When talking with other parents I know, it’s hard not to sound like a grumpy old man when we get around to discussing school schedules. “Am I the only one who feels like kids have so many days off? I never got that many days off when I was a kid! And I had to go work in the coal mine after, too!” I know what I sound like, but I just can’t help it. |

| They called the ‘baby boom’ a huge win in the fight against extinction. |
| Yes, we’re entering the age of the baby boom. No, not our beloved home-owning generation that remembers listening to music on vinyl records and watching the first episode of “Saturday Night Live” ever aired. No, this time, there’s a new baby boom at the London Zoo. It’s a heartwarming moment for the world’s oldest scientific zoo (which opened in 1828) because six tiny, pint-sized additions were recently born there. |
| If you visit the London Zoo, you’ll see that many animals are part of its conservation breeding programs. This means that they participate in a unique initiative to save their species, hoping to return them to the wild someday. And there’s more good news: London Zoo conservationists have already successfully bred and reintroduced various species back into the wild, such as the Partula Snail, Northern Bald Ibis, Fen Raft Spider, and many others. |
