Every time someone says shit like ‘no one owes you anything’ I keep my mouth shut because I owe people a lot. I stand on shoulders of people smarter than me, people who held my hand when I didn’t think it was worth holding and people who gave me a chance when no else did.

A lot of you are under the mistaken impression that progress means advances in tech. Real progress is kids who are literate, free meals for public school students, a culture in which human art & poetry are celebrated. We're regressing rapidly & the only way forward is to read.
please read ... books, poetry ... please think & reflect ... know your history ... it matters much more than this screen-addled, instant gratification, sound-bite, consumer based irreality tries to tell you

What if I told you that everyone single person is a singularly beautiful mystery, that every human interaction contains more meaning than can ever be exhausted or expressed, and that every human action echoes into eternity?
The average couple. Just both mediocre looking, nothing about their entire existences being noteworthy. They work a boring 9-5, drive run of the mill sedans and spend their weekends watching TV. They’ll have 2 kids, a boy & a girl - who will carry on this unremarkable cycle.

I love Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Imagine interviewing someone huge and this is the first thing they say to you, I'd be shaking

the pr on romantic relationships has made us think all we need is ONE person, when really we need community
friends are the point of life, friends.

You can lead an ordinary life and be an extraordinary writer. And even if you're a mediocre writer, please write. Someone will resonate with your words. We need long form content in this world of slop. I want to see people being earnest and thoughtful.
Not all of you are interesting enough for Substack personal essays

Ngl, adult friendships require grace. People are very busy. People are healing. People are growing. People are taking time for self care just like you. Less communication isn’t less love. Check in not out.

Have all of you seen photos of the first EDSA revolution? People were handing flowers to soldiers, tanks and helicopters never fired at civilians. It was the revolution that restored our democracy. But right now, everything is in chaos, but it doesn't have to be.

‘Hindi namin lubos na maintindihan kung bakit ang isang bata na lumaki sa Forbes Park ay kaya nating gamutin pero ang mga bata sa kabundukan ay namamatay sa simpleng dehydration.’ nagpaiyak ka na naman today. Mahal kita at hanga ako sayo, my bestie Dr. Omid Siahmard! @omidong!

because it’s literally not reading. different cognitive process.
it’s the little things that show your blind spots when it comes to being open minded bc why wouldn’t audiobooks count as reading .,

1/ Why is glass worse? Paint flakes from the metal crown caps are almost identical in colour and polymer chemistry to the particles in the drink, pinning them as the culprit — not the glass itself. Corked wine being microplastic free gives another strong clue Cleaning matters: bottles capped with untreated crowns shed 287 particles /L, but a simple air-blast plus alcohol rinse cut that to 87 particles /L.

And there’s glass block that makes the world looks like an acrylic painting.
There’s something so enchanting about how frosted glass makes objects appear as if they’re painted in oils.
