The Giant Polar Bear Puppet Installed Outside The Shell Building In London
A general view of the giant polar bear puppet outside the Shell Building on September 2, 2015 in London, England. As part of the protest, 64 activists and puppeteers manoeuvred a giant polar bear puppet the size of a double decker bus to rest just metres away from Shell’s front entrance. It’s intended the polar bear titan will remain fixed there until Shell’s Arctic drilling window ends later this month. (Photo by Ben Pruchnie/Getty Images)

Meet Cute Friendly Swimming Pigs In Bahamas
The Bahamas, the Commonwealth nation of hundreds of islands roughly the size of Connecticut and with population of just a bit over Anaheim, is known for its crystal waters and pristine beaches. This is possibly one of the world’s most beautiful havens of nature, yet people are coming here to see pigs. It is unclear when the pigs first appeared on Exuma Island or where they come from. There’s talk about a daring escape from a shipwreck, or sailors releasing the swine on purpose. In all probability, there were no pigs on this tropical paradise before European settlers came, so their mere presence is the work of human. The intriguing feat of nature, however, is that this population of pigs developed a fine aptitude for swimming. Here: “Hey, gull, I’m not a ferry! Ok, maybe I am”.

Powerful Portraits of People Revealing Their “Invisible” Illnesses
Allie Cashel and Erica Lupinacci have started an impactful photo project that helps to give others a voice. As teens, both women were diagnosed with chronic illnesses that are, essentially, invisible. Cashel copes with chronic Lyme disease, while Lupinacci was diagnosed with Lupus during her senior year of high school. Both illnesses don’t show noticeable physical symptoms and are instead characterized by an internal struggle. “I have a few memories of being aware that Allie was sick,” Lupinacci told The Mighty. “She took a leave of absence from school for a while and we visited each other in the hospital a few times, but we never sat down and talked about what we were scared of or what was hard. And I think that’s pretty consistent of young people going through this.” Continue reading »
