Belo Monte dam(n)
When the Portuguese arrived in the area which is now present-day Brazil, the American Indian population was over 5 million. European disease and other factors decimated the indigenous population reducing them to the thousands. The Kayapo are one of the Native American Indian groups that survived and have resisted assimilation by the European invaders.
These days thousands of the Kayapó tribe are forced out of their native land, since Brazil’s president, Dilma Vana Rousseff, has announced the ‘at any cost’ construction of the pharaonic Belo Monte (!) dam, on the Xingu River in the Amazon.
The world’s third-largest hydroelectric dam will be a global ecocide, as flooding 400,000 hectares of the world’s largest rainforest can libarate massive amounts of methane gas and destabilize tremendously river’s vast biodiversity.

Perfume tools
A series of industrial jewellery pieces that absorb your fragrance and work as diffusers, to avoid any skin contact with the perfumed liquid from Dutch designer Jody Kocken.
Some facts on fragrance industry:
Up until the 20th century most perfumes were made with natural animal or plant ingredients and were a luxury to have. Perfume became more accessible with the introduction of synthetic ingredients. The first synthetic fragrance was created from coal tar. Now waste byproducts could be used to make fragrances that smelled like flowers and be sold to the masses for less money.
Even though personal-care products must list their ingredients, fragrances can keep their ingredients a secret because they fall into the “trade secret” category. The word “fragrance” may be used on any product that has a given odor, but there’s no telling what “fragrance” can stand for.
Over 4,00 chemicals are used in today’s fragrances and 95 % of these chemicals are derived from petroleum, according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Research by Bionsen, found that the average woman’s daily grooming and make-up routine means she ‘hosts’ a staggering 515 different synthetic chemicals on her body every single day and parfumes are -by far – the first on this list (250!).
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) listed 20 common perfume ingredients on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list, such as benzene, benzyl alcohol, limonene, acetone and ethanol. Many of these chemicals list headaches, nausea and other complications as side effects.

my vagina is awsome
“Matt is wearing a necklace made from menstrual blood ice cubes. I made the ice cubes from my menstrual blood.
I have a Mooncup (also called a Keeper). You should Google it, and get one, as they will save you heapo money & are excellent.
I took these photos because I thought it would be funny, and because I do not find stuff disgusting because it came out of my vagina. My vagina is awesome.”
