‘Boys can be princesses, too.’ That’s the main idea of photographer Kitty Wolf’s new campaign of the same name. The Chicago-based photographer believes that anyone, regardless of gender, can “enjoy the magic, beauty, and empowerment of a fairy tale princess.” “I have seen boys being told that princesses are ‘just for girls’ or that liking princesses and especially dressing as one somehow makes them weak, inferior or not boys. They’re told it’s not manly, or macho, or normal....

It is estimated that only around 5% of our oceans have been explored so far and less than 10% mapped using modern technologies. Leaving 95% unexplored gives incredibly vast areas for scientists to work on. According to Ocean Census, about 2,200 species are being discovered each year. Therefore, this recent news is truly exciting: a few weeks ago, scientists found over 100 new marine species in the Bounty Trough, New Zealand, marking a significant turning point in the clearer picture of the planet’s unique biodiversity....

Super Mario 3 fan Kjetil Nordin spent 800 hours over six years to make a perfect crocheted copy of the game’s first map. The 31-year-old Norwegian used 100 balls of yarn, and the impressive crochet blanket measures 2.2 by 1.8 meters (7’2”x5’10”). Kjetil even redid a massive section when he realized he had used an imperfect color for a certain portion of the Super Mario world map. The yarn “was almost purple and very ugly, so I had to undo all of the crochet patterns....

“ Even though I’m sick and dying, I don’t let it stop me from living my life ” – Bellamy.

Newly unheard recordings captured Michael Jackson admitting he would “k*ll himself” if he could never see another child....

We are two good friends from Romania sharing our passion for beauty, photography and art. We love to have storytelling as in expression, body language, emotion in our images.

In the first photo below, Beau was looking up to see which treat was coming next from his owners, just off-camera....

Daily Mirror reporter Talia Shadwell’s Twitter thread just went viral, and for good reason. It highlights how desperate advertisers are in the digital age, willing to go as far as it takes to shove products down our throats. Or vaginas. Recently, Facebook started bombarding Talia with pregnancy and baby-related ads, even though she wasn’t pregnant. Turns out, it was the period tracking app that gave birth to the annoying onslaught. Or Shadwell’s absence from it, to be precise....

It happens that people live together literally for an eternity, not even suspecting what is going on in the head of the person who is always next to them. Yes, each of us has our own “skeletons in the closet”....

Grandparents love to brag about how inexpensive a chocolate bar was “back in their day” or how little they paid for their first home. And in a perfect world, it wouldn’t really matter how much prices had increased because our salaries would inflate on the same scale. But as we all know, that’s just not the case today. Costs of living are soaring all over the planet, and it seems like every year, things that were once basic necessities or little treats are turning into luxuries reserved only for the rich....

Human beings are social animals. Most of us crave acceptance, connection, love, and respect. An 85-year Harvard study found that our positive relationships empower us, make us resilient, and actually lead to healthier, happier, and longer lives. But social isolation is horrible for our physical and mental health . When somebody is ostracized from their social circle or society, it takes a toll and can even put them on a warpath in life....
