everyone knows Arab immigrant life means your suitcase on the way back will have bubble wrapped olive oil and zaatar in between clothes… I may have a Tannourine water obsession though 🤪

I’ve emerged from my long coffee-less break commonly referred to as “Ramadan” to say that life’s too short to give up the greatest joys earth has to offer 🤷🏻‍♀️ thank you for listening

need the McGill comms intern to explain to me the decision behind using this subject for their newsletter today

one thing I struggle with as someone who—according to many—needs to take a break more often is: how do people motivate themselves to do anything after the break? I’ve been staring at nothing for two weeks and now I have to be functional again? it’s hard to even put on boots at the moment.

I started an excel sheet to document brands using AI in ads as they pop on my feeds: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

disclaimer: this isn't to attack anyone, just gathering data tickles my brain the right way and people are free to do with this data whatever they please.

Does the trapped wasp grieve her sister’s lifeless body which had been moving like hers just a few minutes ago? Does she keep trying to escape after seeing her sister fail or does she see her future ahead of her now?

I really want to figure out a safe way to go dancing because I don’t want to be the only masked person at a party but I also don’t want to be somewhere this crowded without a mask, you know? 🥲

I love when authors make my point for me… my entire COMPS for the past 5 weeks has revolved around this: people for some reason do not view fish as animals and fishing in games falls outside the human-animal relationship dichotomy… and now, on page 82, this fine author gave it to me for free.

idk when this shift happened but coffee shops nowadays are very keen on playing rave/techno music during the day like clubs.
