Nothing in the US can compare. It's essentially part of the mainstream culture - and there is so much competition (a curry shop on every other corner) your food has to be amazing.

I joke a lot about my capacity for despair, but there's enough Catholic discipline in my youth to remember that it is in fact a sin, one that absorbs all the best in you more comprehensively than a tar pit. I left the church ages ago, but I held onto that cable: despair is not a long-term good.

Recommended dosage is lower for women. But seriously, I had decades of horrible sleep, night terrors and intrusive thoughts. Nothing worked but now I sleep like a baby.

Low-key kinda dig how much of the Greek liturgy is "Wisdom. Let us attend." Church speak for "Pay attention, y'all. Y'all. This. Right here. *snaps fingers* Pay attention. [Redacted], talking to you."

Pauli Murray, who tried to get testosterone from Howard University Hospital in the 1940s. Pauli Murray, who responded to their rejection from Harvard Law School (which didn't accept women until 1950) by telling the admissions office "I'd gladly change my sex if I could"
thinking of Pauli Murray celebrating this day in 1954 newrepublic.com/article/1559... (for my book, I’ve updated this story with they and them pronouns for Murray)
