A thing I wish existed: a site that publishes syllabi / 'reading playlists' from experts, in their area of expertise. Ideally there’d be multiple 'versions' of a syllabus (i.e. if you just want to get a feel, read these 5 things, else here’s the full catalog).

Screenshot of the notes: The Rose of Cities, November 1849 Florence Nightingale No one ever talks about the beauty of Cairo, ever gives you the least idea of this surpassing city. I thought it was a place to buy stores at and pass through on one's way to India, instead of its being the rose of cities, the garden of the desert, the pearl of Moorish architecture, the fairest, really the fairest, place of earth below. It reminds me always of Sirius, I can't tell why except that Sirius has the silveriest light in heaven above, and Cairo has the same radiant look on earth below; and I shall never look at Sirius in future years without thinking of her

While writing this, @MohammRafik had to flee airstrikes repeatedly and was hit with shrapnel that lodged in his arm for days. He and his family are starving. But he still wrote this. That is what writers in Gaza are going through. So read their work. thenation.com/article/world/…

People Say We’re Not Starving In Gaza. How Dare They?

Starvation is everywhere you look here. Denying that is beyond shameful.

Have you ever wondered: What share of deaths are from each cause, across age groups? I made a chart to answer this. External causes – e.g. accidents, violence, falls, self-harm – dominate deaths at young ages. At older ages, most die from cardiovascular diseases & cancers.

As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.
