(Lexi Freehill/CBC )Dukey’s triplets, dubbed Carla, Darla and Marla, were born healthy, an outcome Simpson and her family are grateful for. The odds are already long for triplet calves to be born, and it’s even more rare for them to survive. Incredibly, Carla, Darla and Marla are not Lucky 7’s first set of thriving triplets. But in the meantime, Stacey Simpson said she is happy to keep milking the novelty of such a rare occurrence. “We’ll probably keep up with Marla, Carla and Darla throughout the year just because we’ve gained a huge social media following from it,” Simpson said.

But when Iranians protest an Islamist regime — especially while rejecting Hamas and political Islam altogether — the media mostly evaporates. It tells Iranian women that their rebellion against forced veiling is less newsworthy than Western debates about symbolism.
