I saw a post on Reddit that said, โ€œWhen you walk through a museum, youโ€™re not just looking at art. Youโ€™re moving through centuries of people trying to explain love, grief, power, beauty, and belonging.โ€ I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever seen a museum described so beautifully.

Reading a book in public is only performative to people who do not read books at all.

Reading a book in public is only performative to people that donโ€™t read books. To a reader, every waiting room, park bench, train carriage, airport gate, and cafรฉ table is another potential chapter.
People that read books on the train are lowkey kinda performative ๐Ÿ˜ญ
