Disappointingly all comments so far are negative. A world with just autonomous cars and no private vehicles would be so much better. Residential streets uncluttered - clean air - cost saving etc. We need an empathetic realistic plan for such a transition. That’s what is missing. Hard but vital IMO.

It’s harvest season in Ukraine, but in the first two weeks of August, Ukrainian grain exports were down 75% from the same period last year. Russia’s military blockade has effectively cut off Ukrainian ports from the Black Sea.🧵

What an addict taught me They taught me that hunger is not always about wanting more. Sometimes it is about wanting less less noise, less memory, less of the unbearable weight of being awake inside life. They taught me how quickly shame can become a second skin. #poem #poetry

They taught me
that disappearing
can look an awful lot like coping.
That sometimes
the thing that is destroying them
is also the only thing
they have found
that makes the pain go quiet.
They taught me
that wanting to change
and knowing how to change
are two entirely different things.
They are not a monster.
They are not a cautionary tale.
They are a person
trying desperately
to become someone
they could live with.
An addict taught me
that recovery is not becoming
the person you were
before you broke.
It is learning
to build a life
with the pieces.
And sometimes
the person who teaches you
how to save yourself
is you.
