What happens above the surface starts below it. 🌊 
Our seas are deeply connected with the land and skies above. In fact, scientists estimate that the oceans produce more than 50% of the oxygen on Earth.
Life on our planet wouldn't survive without the oceans, so let's help them thrive in return.

Happiness grows when you stop carrying what was never yours to carry.
Not every opinion deserves your attention. Not every situation deserves your energy.
Let people be who they choose to be. Let go of what you cannot control. Invest your time in your peace, your health, your growth, and the life you are creating.
The less you seek approval from the world, the more freedom you find within yourself.
Protect your peace. Live fully. Be kind.

-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-
The horror of 'Animal Farm' is not in the pigs with whips or the slogans painted on barn walls. The horror is how quickly you recognize it.
Orwell doesn’t describe some far-off dystopia; he describes the way power decays in real time, the way ideals are hollowed out until the revolution that promised freedom looks exactly like the tyranny it overthrew. You start the book rooting for the animals, cheering their rebellion, and before you realize what’s happened, you’re watching them chant lies they know are lies, watching them work themselves to death while pigs grow fat in the farmhouse. The trick isn’t that it happens suddenly , it’s that it happens so gradually you feel the trap closing around you and you can’t point to the exact moment it snapped shut.
Snowball and Napoleon are supposed to represent different visions of the future — idealism versus brute force but Orwell makes it clear neither survives. One is chased off the farm, the other becomes indistinguishable from the humans he replaced. And in between them is Boxer, the great workhorse whose mantra, “I will work harder,” could be written on every grave dug by the exploited throughout history. His loyalty is rewarded not with dignity but with betrayal, his body carted off for glue when he collapses. That’s the novel’s most devastating truth: the oppressed don’t just lose to tyrants; they’re consumed by them.
The slogans change : “All animals are equal” becomes “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” The commandments are rewritten. The history is revised. And every animal learns to live with it because resistance has been beaten out of them, because memory is fragile, because fear is stronger than truth. Orwell knew that power doesn’t need to erase the past; it only needs to rewrite it enough times until no one remembers what was true to begin with.
Read 'Animal Farm' and you realize the scariest part isn’t the pigs. It’s the sheep, bleating whatever they’re told. It’s the chickens, terrified into silence. It’s the donkeys, who know better but have stopped believing anything can change. The real terror is not in the rise of Napoleon but in the ease with which everyone else adapts to his rule.
By the time the animals peer through the farmhouse window and can no longer tell pig from man, Orwell has already turned the mirror on you.
This isn’t a fable about animals. It’s about us — every movement that began with hope and ended in betrayal, every ideal twisted into propaganda, every time we convinced ourselves that small compromises weren’t compromises at all.
'Animal Farm' is a warning dressed as a children’s tale, and its message is brutal in its simplicity: revolutions don’t fail because of the enemies outside. They fail because of the corruption within, and because we let ourselves forget the difference between freedom and obedience until it’s too late to claw it back.

Marine Life in The Philippines & S.E. Asia. and the World. Post #279:
Did you ever wish you had a built-in blanket? Well, this cephalopod doesn’t need to wish… Meet the Indo-Pacific violet blanket octopus (Tremoctopus gracilis)
While males are tiny, rarely growing more than a few centimeters long, females are more than 10,000 times that size—reaching lengths of up to 6 ft (2 m)
Females also sport massive “blankets,” which are actually webs of skin connecting their dorsal arms.
When threatened, they can drop these appendages, distracting predators as they make their escape.

In the Paris of the 1880s and 90s, an artist named Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen became known for one favourite subject above all others: cats.
He kept many of his own and drew them endlessly, curled, stretching, prowling, dozing, catching every mood a cat can have.
His most famous image is this striking black cat, made as a poster. It became so iconic that it is still recognised, and reproduced, all over the world today.
Steinlen saw cats as elegant, mysterious, and full of character, and he helped make them a beloved subject of modern art.
His home in the Montmartre district of Paris was said to be so full of cats that friends nicknamed it "Cats' Corner."
More than a century on, his sleek black cat still gazes out, proof that our love of cats is nothing new at all.

Flocks of starlings (Sturnus vulgaris), like the ones in these photographs, are a stunning sight. During this action, thousands of birds move in a constantly moving cloud, both chaotic and precise.
In the 1980s, programmers and physicists used computer models to simulate the movement of these bands, but they lacked real observations. Now, after spending many nights atop Rome's Palazzo Massimo, scientists believe they have finally discovered how such a large number of animals can move so smoothly and without constantly getting disturbed.
In addition, flocks of starlings can be very beneficial to ecosystems and agriculture, as they are tasked, in a team, to combat numerous insect plagues.
