The surprising etymology of animal names
Who knew that hog and hyena have the same etymological origin!
Creepy old potatoes and grinning pumpkins that will keep you up at night
A beautiful Beluga Whale is mesmerised by a violin
His smily, gentle grin is enough to calm and soothe your nerves completely.

Why art is important by James Baldwin
If you can examine and face your life, you can discover the terms with which you are connected to other lives, and they can discover them too – the terms with which they are connected to other people. This has happened to every one of us, I’m sure. You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discovered that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevski. This is a very great liberation for the suffering person, who always thinks that they are alone. This is why art is important.
