“I have this strange feeling that I’m not myself anymore. It’s hard to put into words, but I guess it’s like I was fast asleep, and someone came, disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again. That sort of feeling.”

— Haruki Murakami (via goodreadss)

A reminder that the clothing of the Middle Ages was less brown (and the people were more brown) than often depicted.

This black flamingo was spotted in Cyprus. It is just the second black flamingo ever seen. The first one was seen in Israel in 2014 but experts believe they may be the same bird, meaning that only one black flamingo has ever been seen. The black flamingo is affected with melanism, which is a condition caused by an overproduction of melanin, darkening the skin. An animal with melanism is a very rare sight.

“Month by month things are losing their hardness; even my body now lets the light through; my spine is soft like wax near the flame of the candle. I dream; I dream.”

Albinism is the absence of the pigment melanin which leaves the animal white and makes the eyes red and legs pink.

White ravens have leucism which results in only partial loss of this pigment and their eyes are typically blue. Any animal can have leucism, it’s not exclusive to ravens.
