These unsettling, expressionless masks were actually a fashion staple for wealthy women in Elizabethan England (c. mid to late 1500s). They were called visards, and were used by women of status to protect their fair skin from the sun, given that tanned, browned skin was seen as a sign of poverty (women with sun-tanned skin were usually poor laborers). Today, however, one can perceive from these artifacts only a bizarre, nightmarish appearance.

It’s International Assistance Dog Week, which was created to honor devoted, hardworking service dogs. 

Like Opal:

 and Samson:

The goals of IADW are to raise awareness and educate the public about assistance dogs, and to recognize the heroic deeds performed by assistance dogs around the world.

“I knew what it was like to be hurt,” she said. “The many times that that happened, I wish someone would have stood up for me.”

“But violence is violence - nobody deserves to be hurt, especially not for an idea.”

“For the most part, people who hurt… they come from hurt. It is a cycle. Let’s say they had killed him or hurt him really bad. How does [his] son feel? Does he carry on the violence?”

At the time, she was 18 years old.

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
