THE ERA OF IDENTITY DISORDER

Today, we are witnessing an unprecedented social transformation where the boundaries of identity are constantly expanding. I can understand someone identifying with a different gender because, in terms of biological development, the process isn't always clear and can lead a person to be born in what they feel is "the wrong body." In this context, gender identification has been a broad debate, and although complex, it has biological and psychological explanations.

However, what becomes harder to understand, and where madness truly starts to unfold, is when people begin to identify as different species.

WAKING UP WITH KISSES AND LOTS OF LOVE

In a world where we often wake up to the sound of an alarm, stressed by daily obligations, waking up full of love and kisses is a luxury that invites us to pause, even for a moment, and appreciate what truly matters. It reminds us that, above all, we are made to love and be loved.

DRAGONFLY INVASION

In Misquamicut Beach, Rhode Island, what would normally be a peaceful summer day was interrupted by a massive invasion of dragonflies. Hundreds of thousands of these insects swarmed the beach, catching many by surprise. According to experts, it’s possible that the dragonflies were relocating due to drought in their natural habitats, such as swamps and marshes.
Although the situation was overwhelming, the dragonflies did not harm the beachgoers, as they are harmless and pass by without causing any damage.

Over the past decades, it has been discovered that these dragonflies, specifically the Anax junius species, undertake a multigenerational migration across North America that often goes unnoticed.
Recent research has analyzed samples revealing migration patterns extending from the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean to New England and the northern Midwest. These studies are crucial for understanding how the reduction in insect populations could alter these migratory cycles in the future.

WILDLIFE

Animals have taken over half of the internet. No matter which social media platform you open, there's always a cat squeezing into places it shouldn't or a dog with that classic "It wasn't me" face after causing some chaos.
They're unpredictable and effortlessly funny. No filters, no scripts—just doing their thing and leaving us with videos worth saving. From epic fails to moments straight out of a sitcom, they always deliver.

So if you ever catch yourself spending half an hour watching raccoon thieves, hyperactive goats, or ninja cats, don’t worry—you’re not alone. That’s just the algorithm doing its thing.
