An innovative initiative is taking place in the Philippines to bring sustainable lighting to homes in impoverished communities. Empty plastic bottles are installed in the roof, filled with water and bleach they refract sunlight. These “solar light bulbs” provide light equivalent to a 55watt light bulb.
See how they’re made here. From Visual News

Scales only have the power which we bestow upon them. In reality, a scale is just a small household item made of metal & springs & dials. A scale is a toaster is a blender is an electric toothbrush is a weed whacker.
Imagine if I said, “My self-worth is determined by the toaster.”
Sounds pretty weird, eh? Or “I’m fat, the lawnmower said so!” Or “I have to check with the blender to see if I like myself today.”The power only comes in when we choose to hand all of ours
over to an inanimate object- Kensington

I drew this today
It’s for my best friend Becky who’s been in hospital for half a year because of self-harming, her mum asked me to draw something inspiring for her and incorporate butterflies into it somehow so I did this. I just wanted to show her that even though her arms may now be mutilated and abused beyond recognition, there is still hope and beauty to be found in everything. That I still find her absolutely beautiful and perfect.
