Captivating Illustrations by Molly Mendoza – The Fox Is Black

Really loving the work of Molly Mendoza, a Portland based illustrator. Her work tends to be loose, sketchy, and abastract with lots of brush strokes that give each piece a wonderful character. I particularly like this series (though I’m not sure what it’s called) because of her choice of color palette. Not normally something I would lean toward but it really works when you see all of the pieces together.

Baltic States first pet bird hotel opens in Estonia :: The Baltic Course | Baltic States news & analytics

A bird veterinarian will be receiving parrots in the bird hotel, birds are offered overnight accommodation for the time when their owner is for example on a trip or even a new home if the owner gets tired of their birds.

 

Estonian Animal Protection Society bird specialist Katarina Bright, who in profession is advertising manager of an information hotline, created in 2010 a web site papagoi.ee, where people interested in parrots could write about their problems and concerns. The people also asked about the service of a bird hotel – there are hotels for dogs and cats in Estonia but where could they leave their birds during trips? Animal Protection Society members thus recommended Bright that instead of charity-based instructions, she could open an official birds centre and thus she decided to open the Parrot Centre, that she and her husband own.

The Link Brigade –

This is such a hard video to watch.

“Strangers step in when a man physically assaults a woman. Watch them laugh when it’s reversed”.

“The statistics in this video are for the UK. According to the CDC, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men in the U.S. “have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner.” In Spain, out of the total cases denounced in 2013, 5 in 7 victims were women, and 3 in 7 victims were men. People think the percentages of abused men are much lower, but reality would surprise them.

Video made by Mankind Initiative. The vid is highly edited, ergo not “real”, but the point is that it is intented to illustrate an issue, not to prove a specific scenario.
