Final holiday pics before getting back to work tomorrow: a well deserved break and staycation!

A child in a red dress walks towards an ornate, historic building with statues and architectural details. A spacious art gallery features ornate ceiling, wooden floors, and walls adorned with large framed paintings, accompanied by plush seating for visitors. A majestic castle stands beside a serene lake under a partly cloudy sky, surrounded by lush greenery. Two children in strollers are reaching out to hold hands. A street scene in a sunny city features a vintage advertisement on a building facade, lush greenery, and a small market or kiosk. People are gathered in a bright, modern café with a mirror displaying a decorative world map on the wall. Two women are sitting on a picnic blanket on a grassy area while a small child stands nearby. People are dining outdoors in a courtyard with historic architecture and ivy-covered walls. A young child in a checkered dress walks along a cobblestone path with an adult in the background. A table with a cappuccino, an empty espresso cup, a chocolate chip scone on a saucer with a spoon, a basket of bread, and two people's legs nearby. A cozy café features wooden flooring, modern chairs, round tables, and warm globe lights, with plants and framed art for decoration. A charming Parisian building with classic architecture is framed by lush trees under a blue sky. A plate of penne pasta is topped with mushrooms, cheese, and fresh basil, served on a decorative blue and white dish.

The Power of Politeness | The Atlantic

8/7/25

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.
