What the city is missing: Thierry Cohen photographs cityscapes and then photographs deserts at night, combing the two to show us what our cities would look like with the lights off. The stars are not enhanced, they are actual photos from relative latitudes that would expose the same starry sky view if it weren’t for light pollution. Click on each photo to see which city it is.

In short? It is a state of depression caused by reduced exposure to sunshine over a period of time because, like 99% of living things, humans are light sensitive. Some more so than others.

sure know how to concoct the most intricately savage and terrifyingly violent scenarios on Facebook when discussing the hypothetical fate of criminals.

I mean really really jarring stuff. Stuff that SAW would think was too far.

Crazy.

what do you think about plastic surgery? i wanna get it but i kinda feel bad about it. so many guys say they don't want a woman who isn't natural.

I think mentally stable people should look exactly how they wish to look.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder is not remedied or alleviated by any surgery, so providing you’re physically of age, well versed in the process and not suffering from BDD in any way, you shouldn’t feel shamed- LEAST of all by men who in reality couldn’t tell the difference between the two if they tried.

reverseracism:

When people claim that willfully ignorant opinions that support systems of oppression and discrimination are the other side of the argument and should be given the same respect in order to have a balanced exchange.

respectthe-fro:

I need sunshine in order to function properly.

It frustrates me that in 2013 this is still seen as a preference and not a condition. Like S.A.D. is somehow less life altering because its only during the winter. I don’t “prefer” sunshine, I am a despondent, irritable nightmare without it.
