The Chauvet Cave, France, The Art Of Prehistory.

The Chauvet cave, France, the art of prehistory.

In 1994, three friends discovered in the south of France a cave with magnificent cave paintings, more than 30,000 years old.

Under the ground of the Ardèche region, an invaluable treasure is hidden for its antiquity, its conservation and the pictorial quality of the representations; one of the oldest and most splendid examples of Arieñaciense parietal art, dating approx. between 40,000 and 30,000 B.C.

Summer swimming tip for trans guys and Non binary folks!

I almost didnt go swimming or to the beach all summer because of how anxious and uncomfortable just thinking about being in a wet t shirt and sports bra would make me.

But this company saved me. They’re called Outplay and seem to be mainly advertised towards females but not to the point where navigating the website is unbearable. The flatsea compression shirt is the most comfortable binder I’ve ever worn. Its thicker than a bathing suit but doesnt make you overheat and you dont stay wet longer than normal after getting out of the water either.

I got a size small and with high compression and couldnt be more happy with the results. Its comfortable enough to wear all day at the beach and is more comfortable to wear as a regular binder. My weight has also fluctuated while I’ve owned this binder and when my stomach was bigger the material didnt roll at all. It will run you about $65 (shipping included)for a great transitional binder and it seemed worth it to me.

We are forced to live in a system that steals from us daily, Kill snitch culture.

So you don’t have to watch the video every time you need one of these hacks immediately:

1. If you feel nauseated, smell rubbing alcohol.

2. If you feel like throwing up, start humming.

3. If you have a runny nose, put your tongue to the roof of your mouth and press your thumb to your forehead for about 20 seconds.

4. If you have a headache, pinch the webbing between your fingers and rub it back and forth for about 1 minute.

5. If you’re lightheaded from standing up too quickly, clench your butt cheeks.

6. If your arm’s dead/has the pins and needles feeling, rock your head back and forth.

7. If you need to pee badly, think of sex to trick your brain and relieve the pressure.

8. If you have a migraine, stick your hands in ice water.

9. If you wanna calm your racing heart, blow on your thumb.

what I really like about all these vintage couple’s portraits is that there is a very certain romatic decorum kept up – certain themes and poses – which, while of course being the mainstream preferred view of couples repeated throughout many studios, are just… so nice to look at. 

this staged affection, a mix of theatricality and intimacy, the couple holding still for a couple of moments and now immortalised in a very set sequence of embraces and kisses. there is a charm to it even when I can’t tell whether this was a genuine couple portait or just actors hired by the photographer.

the kiss on the bare shoulder (eyes perfectly averted), the cheek caress, the piano and the violin, the interrupted embrace, the woman tilted back as in a half-stopped dance…

Help a Bipolar Sri Lankan Aqua Culturist Survive, organized by Ahmed Hafeel

Brief Summary My name is Ahmed and I’m a Sri Lankan Aqua Culturist dia… Ahmed Hafeel needs your support for Help a Bipolar Sri Lankan Aqua

“I am a 29-year-old male struggling in my home country of Sri Lanka. I am educated, multi-lingual and always striving to learn and improve. However, I am also diagnosed with a neurological disorder, namely, Bipolar Affective Disorder, for which I am struggling to sustain medication and treatment. Due to these circumstances I found great difficulty in surviving and holding on to a job long term whilst also fighting the adverse effects of my illness. In spite of all odds, I have worked hard and pushed myself beyond my limits for years in order to hide my illness to not be terminated, until I was diagnosed by the company doctor as Bipolar during my last official job and labelled “unfit for work”. Since then I’ve been barely getting by, doing anything and everything just to survive, with no medical support. Working as a delivery driver for restaurants, I suffered from multiple accidents, the last of which was so severe, that I had to cease work as I had gravely hurt my back and legs. It was so critical that I had to have a steel plate and screws implanted into my tibea in order to just be able to stand on my feet again.

Once again I kept persevering regardless of my conditions in order to provide. I have worked as a factory employee, marketing executive, sales executive, business development executive, as well as a research executive. However, the one constant in my life remained to be financial instability, I always had one medical bill after the other to the point where it felt like I was alive just to struggle to pay them off, never moving forwards, instead I was sinking deeper and deeper in these never-ending expenses. After years of jumping from one job to the next I finally decided to stick to my gut and pursue work in a field I’ve always been passionate about: Aqua culture. I started manning an aquarium fish store, it was a very slow paced job that helped keep my mind, body and soul tranquil. Great as it was, ever since Covid-19 we hit a rough spot and the country imports were severely restricted and we aren't able to get anything imported into the country to carry on our day to day business activities. Desperate times turned me destitute. Many stores went out of business and suffered tremendous losses.

Sad to say, I now feel like my livelihood is holding on by a thread. I am barely making ends meet and every day here in Sri Lanka is a constant struggle. All compounded by the fact that I don’t only provide for myself but also for my family.

I'm now seeking funding for migration fees to try to find another life with new possibilities elsewhere. Given my research and the immigration agencies here in Sri Lanka, I have decided to set Canada as my target. It is a country that will appreciate my passion to be a diligent worker and will grant me my rights and medical necessities. It will also provide me with the means to provide for myself and my family in Sri Lanka.

Through this campaign, I am aiming for a total of 45,000 USD. This life changing sum will cover Application fees, Travel tickets, Visa charges, rent, necessary bank balance, and enough money to cover my living expenses as I try to adapt and secure a job. The cost breakdown is given in the below section.

I do strongly believe in charity and paying it forward, therefore to all of you who support me with your charitable donations, I solemnly swear to pay it forward as I reach my goals along the way to support someone else who needs it more than I do as I go forward.
