Agree 100%, but probably think it’s worth noting that our miserable commute and work culture have to be exacerbating factors. If europeans had as long of commutes, as poorly designed cities for the benefit of public wellbeing, as little public transportation options, as many hours of work a week, as little (or no)…

All the best to you and Mr. Penguin. Resilience, luck, and all the joy that can come your way.

Sending you all my sympathy, for such an ordeal and such a loss. I’m so sorry. You’re right, we need each other and the stories, and the laughs.

Holy shit.
All my sympathy for that ordeal and especially your loss. What you wrote here is great. <3
This seems pretty OK.

I always imagine Vampire Weekend in the rehearsal studio, each time they run through a song arrangement, someone invariably says, “You know what would be even cuter?...”
Oh god, this still triggers me. Never before did I appreciate what a goddamned eternity 500 days is.
