China: Construction Worker Encounters Wild Siberian Tiger in Jilin

This is the heart stopping moment that a Chinese woman narrowly avoided danger when she unexpectedly encountered a wild Siberian tiger during a late-night construction job. On November 30, 2025, in Jilin, China, the video captured a tense encounter inside the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park as excavator operator Liu, a Chinese woman, was working outdoors at night. The footage showed a wild Siberian tiger walking steadily toward her work area. The massive animal moved with calm confidence, stopping several times as it fixed its gaze on Liu. Instead, it observed her silently for a prolonged moment before slowly turning around and walking back into the darkness of the forest. Liu later recalled that her heart nearly jumped out of her chest as the tiger stared at her under the night lights. The video ended with the tiger disappearing into the forest while Liu remained still, visibly shaken but unharmed

The Beach A Temporary Escape for Muslims - Sri Lanka

Three children playing in the water gaze into the lens in Weligama, Sri Lanka, on January 2nd, 2022. In Sri Lanka, the Muslim community has faced increasing challenges since the 2019 Easter bombings, when coordinated attacks on churches and hotels by a local Islamist extremist group claimed over 250 lives. In the aftermath, anti-Muslim sentiment surged across the island, leading to heightened discrimination and hostility. The situation worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the government introduced a series of stringent policies impacting the Muslim community. These measures included banning the burqa and niqab in public spaces, closing over 1,000 madrasas, and requiring all Islamic texts entering the country to be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Defense. These actions have raised significant concerns about religious freedom and the marginalization of Muslims in Sri Lankan society. Weligama, a picturesque coastal town located approximately three hours south of Colombo, is home to a large Muslim p

Beyond Our Bodies

Margot at home, Paris, France, 2017 'I am made of flesh and hairs' 'I am conscious of being a pile of breathing flesh that moves around. But I feel like some moving slime that take a shape to present itself in front of people. I feel neither male nor female. Physically I ended up being aware that I would be seen as feminine, and it will always surprise me. My thoughts have no gender, no sex. My body feels like a prison of flesh with the cage of people's judgement on top of it. I can't control people's gaze. Whatever appearance I would give myself, I would be seen for what I am not'.
