The human inhabitants of our planet have more in common than they have different.

That couldn't be more apparent when seen through the untainted eyes of children.


When Britney Tankersley's son Myles insisted on being twins on "Twin Day" with a specific buddy from kindergarten, she fetched matching outfits.

The resulting photo sent by their teacher later melted Tankersley's heart, as well as the world's.

For Myles is White, and his "twin" is Black.

The proud mother – who is an Assistant Registrar for Online Learning at Waldorf University in Forest City, Iowa – posted the adorable photo on Facebook and wrote:

"Late last night Myles went on & on about how he had to be twins with a boy in his class for Twin Day because they look exactly the same- same eyes, same hair."

She continued:

"He was adamant that they were identical. So after the kids went to bed I headed to Walmart at 9pm to get matching outfits. Their teacher sent me this picture today"
"My heart melted. Obviously two very different children, but Myles didn't see that."

Tankersley concluded her post by asking her followers this poignant question.

"Wouldn't the world be such a better place if we could all view it through the eyes of a couple 5yr olds?"

If only.

Everyone seemed to agree with this wonderful sense of optimism and took the photo to viral status with over 500K likes and 269K shares.

The jury was in.

These boys are a beautiful example of what the world could represent—harmony and joy.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."

Trump Hit With Reality Check After Giving Himself An 'A+' On The Economy In Delusional Interview

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed in an interview with Fox News that he should be given an "A+" for the current economy after claiming the "costs are all coming down now."

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.
