The only thing cuter than a sloth is a pygmy sloth
20 miles off the coast of Panama in Central America there’s a tiny island that’s home to a unique species of tiny sloths. The pygmy sloths of Escudo Island, Panama have evolved in isolation and shrunk to about half the size of the normal three-fingered sloths found on the mainland. They live in the mangrove swamps where they’re fond of eating a vine that is known to have similar properties to Valium. So they don’t just look stoned, they are stoned. For thousands of years these mellow midgets have hung out on their paradise island, free from predators. But a recent scientific expedition has revealed that there are now less than 100 sloths left as their mangrove home is being destroyed and local fishermen have taken to killing the slow moving stoners and eating them! They urgently need your help so please click here to donate a few pennies to help the unique evolutionary treasure that is dwarf sloth island.

So it’s boxing day tomorrow and I can hardly sleep. It’s probably my favorite day of the whole year. It marks the new year for me- Dec 31st is alright, but Dec 26 is the tits.
I will call 2011 “the year where everyone got really depressed but all became closer because of it”. Of course some got more depressed than others and there were some truly scary times, but I think it’s only upwards from here. From everything I’ve gained a strong opinion on mental health and my goal for the new year is to change at least one person’s understanding of mental illness.
We are well on our way to becoming healthy again and I could not be happier to welcome a fresh new year. Here’s to you, 2012- make it a good one.
