A book is not a luxury item.
(It can be, but so can food.)
Books are both amazing and cheap.
After all my years, I'm still thrilled by a new book.
Even a bad book is full of potential before you read it.
Read* more books. You'll see what the fuss is all about.

This is beautiful, and heartbreaking.
I recently had a conversation with someone I love who is on the other side of the divide. Who broke my heart with her lack of empathy for the victims of the past two years - and the decades before.

This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season
