I am a messy wanderer, finding beauty in the chaos, and purpose in the wandering.
Bookstores are heaven on Earth. The smell of the paper, the chance to explore another’s world view and carry it home.
Too many have disappeared. Reading is too hard for many.
We must teach critical thinking! Sound bites may be convenient but a book is mind calisthenics, I have a buff hippocampus

Israel is that spiteful and vindictive shitty rich kid who doesn’t like to share and hates other kids having the same kind of cool toys as them. They go and break and destroy that other kid’s stuff then point and laugh and mock them because the poor kid ends up with nothing.

Between 1970 and 1985, a typical American family could save 10% of their income for about five years and accumulate a 20% down payment on a median-priced existing single-family home, according to a New York Times analysis. As of 2023, it would take nearly eight years, the data shows. nyti.ms/3FKEzkx
