A pastor in Seoul, South Korea has created a “baby box” for people so that people who would otherwise abandon or kill their newborns can leave them somewhere safe instead. The box has a light, a towel lining, and a bell rings as soon as a baby is placed in it so the pastor, his wife, or one of his staff can come and get it right away.
Lee Jong-rak started the box in 2009, and has welcomed all babies, often disabled or the children of single mothers, that have been placed in the box since. The babies are given a loving home, food, and shelter in his orphanage. Currently, an average of 17-18 babies are placed in the box every month.
One mother who had considered poisoning her baby before she heard about the Baby Box left her baby in the box with a letter pinned to his clothing that read:
‘My baby! Mom is so sorry.
I am so sorry to make this decision.
My son! I hope you to meet great parents,
And I am very very sorry.
I don’t deserve to say a word.
sorry, sorry, and I love you my son.
Mom loves you more than anything else.
I leave you here because I don’t know who your father is.
I used to think about something bad but I guess this box is safer for you.
That’s why I decided to leave you here.
My son, Please forgive me.’– ‘A single mother’s tearful letter’
Lee Jong-rak is the subject of a documentary called “The Drop Box”, which I haven’t seen – but I can recommend this 13 minute Dateline video. You can find the Facebook page for the BabyBox here.

Starry Night bath bomb
i sometimes wonder how van gogh would have felt if he knew just how loved he is now
like people are naming fucking bath bombs after his paintings
i hope he would have been happy
can’t risk it
This is a piece of shitty mid-2000s humour that I hope never disappears from the internet
The guy who made this went to my high school
an english major, an art major, and a film major walk into a bar
they all get ridiculed for pursuing what they love
The music major was invited to join them, but had to practice.
Females: I want equal rights.
Females: You can’t hit me I’m a female.Females: I want equal rights and i don’t want you to hit me because I am a human being and I don’t like being hit
why are people so intent on hitting women that it’s a well-known and supported argument
no way in hell am i passing this up
a student from uni scrolled past this and ended up failing all of his courses, even the ones he thought he passed… not gonna take this chance.
date someone who will tap your butt playfully and do the dishes with you after dinner.
date someone who knows the power of running their hands through your hair.
date someone who wants you to succeed as much as they want their own success.
date someone who knows how you take your coffee and what cheers you up.
date someone who you can be independent from but still look forward to reuniting with.
