The idea of Kindness being Punk, continuing to grow and get good traction. I love it!
When you become less polite, the alteration in your conduct can make you less happy, more depressed, and angrier about life.
(…) One study [allows] us to infer that you inherit some politeness from your parents partly through your genes, but more through how you were brought up. This also implies that you can become more polite with good influences and by cultivating positive habits.
Researchers (…) showed that being polite to others raises happiness and lowers anger. (…) Being impolite is more like scratching at your poison-ivy rash. Giving in to the urge makes things worse.
(…) I see politeness as today’s punk rock because it so transgresses the spirit of our times. And like punk rock, when you empower yourself with politeness, you feel exhilarated. It is the ultimate exercise in freedom: the freedom to be the person I want to be in the face of a cultural tyranny.
…because the American audience had not seen the original, they believed they were seeing something for the first time. Even though it already existed.
(…) To me, Baohaus and the gua bao was a vehicle to tell a story about where my family was from, but you could only say so much through a restaurant.
(…) if there’s one thing I learned the past decade it’s that perhaps the immigrant story was actually best told in a kitchen where the line is immediate, direct, and physically digestible.
Misogyny in women’s sports — like in society – is often subtle. However, in this instance, the message being sent by the people throwing these sex toys on the courts is loud and clear.
Without real-world freedom, children don’t get the chance to develop competence, confidence, and the ability to solve everyday problems. Indeed, independence and unsupervised play are associated with positive mental-health outcomes.
Kids being raised on screens long for real freedom. It’s like they’re homesick for a world they’ve never known.
A few thoughts:
really glad I’m not raising my daughter is the land of mass shootings
parents are overestimating risks at a wiiiiide rate
very glad to live in a 15mn neighborhood where anything we might need is within 15mn on foot, bike, or public transport.
It was really nice to see kids welcoming my (much younger) daughter and letting her play with them, trying to get her to kick the ball ⚽️
Heartwarming moments 🥰 🥹
“The Politics of Fear” :
Trump was, from his formative years, a spoiled bully. (…) “Little Donny” was a pigtail puller, an unruly loudmouth who tormented his teachers and hurled insults and rocks at other kids.

Went out to Musée de L’Homme for the exhibition on Wax Textile, and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in fashion, colonialism, ethnography, culture, and global trade.
Then had lunch at Schwartz’s Deli before enjoying the sight, and spending time with some of our friends living close to the Eiffel Tower on Rive Droite.
