Why Women Are Leaving Men For Other Women →
“‘I have been with men all my life and had never met a woman I had fallen in love with before,’ she told the Daily Mirror. ‘But when I did, it didn’t seem so strange. It didn’t change who I am. I’m just a woman who fell in love with a woman.’”

Jellyfish Stir Up Oceans, May Influence Climate →
“If the work is correct, then it could mean that they’re ferrying cold water to the surface and warm water into the depths of the sea with each feeding cycle. In the process, they may be taking dissolved carbon dioxide with them far beneath the sea, changing the overall carbon balance in the atmosphere.”

In another act of defiance she ensured the event would be a public spectacle embarrassing for the military dictatorship, by printing invitations and emailing hundreds of friends and supporters. She said she wanted the public present at her flogging if she is convicted.

“A thankful person is thankful under all circumstances. A complaining soul...”
– Dalai Lama (via maluna)
Kindness
maluna:
Love is the life of a soul
It is the harmony of the universe
Spread love wherever you go
Let no one ever come to you,
Without leaving better and happier
Be the living expression of kindness,
Kindness in your eyes
Kindness in your smile
Kindness in your touch
Kindness in your whole being
-Mother Teresa
