I sometimes wonder why they take them out. Rare booksellers always leave them in. I love getting a book with someone else’s bookmarks or pics or B letters
Недавно ходила в другую библиотеку, не ту, куда обычно, а там выставка закладок, которые читатели забыли в книгах 🥺

When I’m on holiday, I always add an extra day or two just to stay in the hotel and do absolutely nothing. Sometimes I just want to lie in bed, watch my TV shows and exist in another country. Being a tourist every single day is exhausting 😂

I am convinced that CAPTCHAs are no longer checking if I am human, they are just using my free labor to train self-driving cars to identify blurry traffic lights.

Also, massage therapists, aromatherapy shops and chiropractors. Maybe a reflexologist. I would seriously use all of these
Airports really need gyms and showers. If I have a 3-hour layover, I’d rather get a workout in, stretch, shower, and walk onto the plane feeling fresh than sit around drinking overpriced airport coffee.

📚 Au Japon, des gens vont désormais en boîte de nuit… pour s’asseoir silencieusement et lire un livre pendant qu’un DJ joue de la musique d'ambience. Le concept s’appelle JUCY BOOK RAVE et se déroule notamment dans un club souterrain de Shimokitazawa, à Tokyo. Ici, pas besoin de danser ni de hurler pour parler à la personne située à 30 centimètres de vous. Les participants viennent avec un livre, s’installent dans la pénombre et lisent pendant que la musique accompagne leur soirée.

One of the biggest misconceptions about chronic pain is that you’ll know when we’re hurting. You probably won’t. We learned how to order coffee in pain. Answer emails in pain. Laugh in pain. Drive in pain. Make dinner in pain. Ask how your day was in pain. Some of us can carry on an entire conversation while privately calculating how many minutes we have left before our body wins. That’s what years of pain does. It doesn’t necessarily make the pain less severe. It makes the patient better at carrying it. And that’s where medicine sometimes makes a catastrophic mistake: It mistakes adaptation for absence. “You don’t look like you’re in that much pain.” Correct. I’ve had years of practice.
