I hate the over– and misuse of “unpopular opinion” but I might have one: social media can be used for just broadcasting, and is probably best used that way. “Conversation” and “engagement” was pushed by the owners so we stay on their apps for their profit. Byeee!

reminder that the west invented passports to control the movement of black/brown people into western countries after plundering their homes for centuries.
There's no meaningful justification for why the place of your birth gives anyone authority over where you should be allowed to live. The only reason hard borders exist is so that governments and the rich who own them can manage and control worker movements.

I am into tiny homes, design-wise and ethically, but not into them in reality (lol). But this one is so well designed and perfectly detailed. A good home for the owner who is obviously deeply rooted in this space.

I just learned last night that I've misinterpreted the meaning of "bemused" my whole life. I thought it meant "wryly amused" but damn I was wrong.

I know that at the end of the day, Patagonia (outdoor apparel) is still a corporation, not 100% green (it’s in the book) but I think they’re real in not selling you something you don’t need, and also big on mending their products for you to keep using. I think bike brands should be the same.

Super enjoyed Eternity, the afterlife romcom with Elizabeth Olsen, Calum Turner, and Miles Teller. So many moments that got me choked up. Reminded me a lot of the 1991 afterlife romcom, Defending Your Life (with Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep!).

I think forest green should be the color of 2026 and my basis for this is that it’s the next color of bike that I want and this is truly my character development because I used to think that green bikes are unlucky.
