being kind and patient isn't my first instinct, particularly when everything is burning down around me, but that's exactly the same reason it must be done. i will not allow myself to fall into patterns of cruelty and harshness

spending your childhood sitting in the comfiest of positions only to later discover they all give you back pain is one of life's greatest betrayals

I have a little plea and it's this: please keep posting about things that aren't The Horrors. I am not saying to not look at or be informed about The Horrors. What I am saying—what I am genuinely kind of begging you to do—is keep posting about books and movies and sunsets and pets and joy. Please.

'The Office' was pro-office propaganda whereas 'Severance' is the realistic show about how being at the office makes you go insane

One underappreciated aspect of Dutch urbanism is the care and attention to detail around lighting.
This includes the thoughtful way buildings are lit to enhance their beauty, streets are lit to increase road and social safety, and seasonal accents are added to battle the long dark nights of winter.

Great reporting. The Israeli army said that most people killed in bombing a Beirut apartment block were Hezbollah. The BBC found that nearly all were in fact civilians, and a third were children. www.bbc.com/news/article...
