Loneliness is not a personal failure. It's a biological signal that you're wired to connect.

We’re wired for connection; meaningful relationships are essential to a healthy, happy life.

In June 1959, South African police used brutal force, including baton charges and shooting, to disperse crowds of predominantly Black women protesting in Cato Manor, Durban. These events, often referred to as the Cato Manor riots or beer hall protests, were part of a wider series of uprisings in Natal against apartheid policies. Photo Credit: Laurie Bloomfield.

Happy National Book Lovers Day.

To every book that found us at the right time, every character we still think about, every sentence we underlined, and every story that made us feel a little less alone.

May we never run out of books to read or reasons to love them.
