Walking
The cartoonist Ellis Rosen is active on Instagram. Recently he posted a slideshow of “monster” cartoons. One I remembered showed a giant snail attacking a city; a person screamed “Walk for your lives!” The implication being that despite being huge, the snail still moved slowly. Walking was sufficient to escape. This was a humorous source […]

QoTD
[I]t’s fine to just eat, and not expect your food choices to work some particular magic on your body. “You get the time and the space to focus on your career, on your relationships, on social justice, causes you care about, changing the world—there’s so much more life available to you outside of [just thinking […]
