These are things you just don’t cut.  A hotline for suicidal youth is one of them.  Taking away a basic call for help when someone is at their lowest is not just cold, it’s evil.

“‘He clearly was scared for his life because he was gay,’ Garcia said. ‘And then we picked him up and sent him to this horrific prison. He hasn’t had any access to his family or legal counsel or really anyone.’” Important updates about Andry Hernández Romero! www.advocate.com/politics/rob...

If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking. - Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
PHOTO by Quang Vuong - A narrow aisle stretches deep into a monochrome labyrinth of tall bookshelves, packed tightly with aged spines and endless stories. Overhead signs mark categories—Poetry, U.S. History, Literary Bios—dangling above the quiet corridor. A lone step ladder waits mid-path, inviting the seeker upward. Fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow, yet the space feels timeless, suspended between thought and memory. The silence is thick, broken only by the imagined rustle of turning pages.

In #Okinawa, coastal fishermen now farm #coral, restoring #reefs like planting trees in a forest. With #ocean temperatures rising, half the world’s coral reefs have already vanished. These farmers are fighting back, one fragment at a time. [Heppoko Taylor]
