The hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing about 300 kilograms, was swept down Sabaki River into the Indian Ocean, then forced back to shore when tsunami waves struck the Kenyan coast on December 26, before wildlife rangers rescued him.

“It is incredible … a-less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a male tortoise, about a century old, and the tortoise seems to be very happy with being a ‘mother’,” ecologist Paula Kahumbu, who is in charge of Lafarge Park , said.

“After it was swept away and lost its mother, the hippo was traumatized. It had to look for something to be a surrogate mother. Fortunately , it landed on the tortoise and established a strong bond. They swim, eat and sleep together,” the ecologist added. “The hippo follows the tortoise exactly the way it followed its mother. If somebody approaches the tortoise, the hippo becomes aggressive, as if protecting its biological mother,” Kahumbu added.

“The hippo is a young baby, he was left at a very tender age and by nature, hippos are social animals that like to stay with their mothers for four years,” he explained.

Printed in the late 16th century this small book from the National Library of Sweden is an example of sixfold dos-à-dos binding, where six books are conjoined into a single publication but can be read individually with the help of six perfectly placed clasps. This particular book was printed in Germany and like almost all books at the time is a religious devotional text.

Depression isn’t always sadness

It’s also feeling numb at 3am but smiling and laughing with friends at 3pm

It’s also not being able to get out of bed even though you were fine the day before

It’s also not eating because you aren’t hungry or can’t be bothered, but also over eating because you’re bored and feel empty

It’s also loving too hard or not at all

Depression isn’t a constant feeling of sadness, depression can be hidden in happiness.

Your depression is valid even if people say it’s not just because you smile

you are the stuff of fairy tales. x

March 1st is Self Harm & Suicide Awareness Day.

This is very near to my heart because other than myself, I know many people who struggle and have struggled with these things. Wear anything orange, any TWLOHA apparel, draw a butterfly on your wrist to show support for those struggling. For those who are struggling or have in the past, draw an orange ribbon on your wrist, arm, or wherever you’d harm. This all representing overcoming and becoming new.

"Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” -Isaiah 43:18-19

You will overcome. :)

[Beatrice] happened also to be a part that I’ve always wanted to play. My first job out of college was playing Hero at a Shakespeare company in Wisconsin, and since then and probably before then, I mean, this is kind of a dream role. I need to come up with a new role that I want to do now that I’ve done this. [x]

Humans are broken from the moment of conception. Mutations, defects— it’s all so wonderful. The chance of disaster. We fail, we learn, we fail…

Are you hurt? No, it’s just an old injury that never quite healed right.
