Ray Vuoso crafts churning, fecund worlds in rigid, regimented environs. Using crayon, oil pastel and earnest investment, he creates works that seem to transcend scale: they read, alternately, as microscopic investigations of cellular life and as satellite views…
The Gulabi gang is a group of women vigilantes active across North India. It is named after the pink saris worn by its members. The group was founded as a response to widespread domestic abuse and other violence against women. Gulabis visit abusive husbands and beat them with bamboo sticks. In 2008, they stormed an electricity office and forced officials to restore the power they had cut to extract bribes. The Gulabis have also stopped child marriages and protested dowry and female illiteracy. from hadarlikestoblog - thanks- great post -Lady miss Kier…www.ladykier.com

From the Department of Awesome Anthropomorphic Foodstuffs come these wonderful photos taken by a farmer in Hyogo prefecture, Japan, who unearthed a daikon radish that strongly resembles a figure swinging its arms and running for its life. It looks like it would be right at home as a creature in a Miyazaki film.
The imaginative farmer, who goes by the twitter handle @konsai_umemama, decided that such a fantastic vegetable deserves a more interesting fate than ending up on someone’s plate. And so they’ve set about placing the radish in a variety of humorous situations and then taking these great photos.

More than half the world’s species will be extinct within this century if we continue with Business as Usual. Astounding beauty is all around us! Marvel here. Fact check here. Let’s marvel and act, accordingly.

Instead of looking down at a captive whale in a concrete tank at Sea World, wouldn’t it be better to imagine ourselves looking up at a whale as it passes above us free in the immensity of the ocean?
