A young crescent Moon, Venus above it, and the Moon’s dark side glowing faintly from Earthshine.
In other words, you’re looking at sunlight reflected from Earth, hitting the Moon, and making the return journey back to your eyes ✨
Tonight’s sky is a lesson in perspective 💫
Beethoven 'Moonlight' Sonata, 3rd Movement | Andreas Boyde https://t.co/biFgwpcZGT via @YouTube
Beethoven was only 30 when he composed this. The nickname is Moonlight, but the finale is pure storm: urgency, defiance & a mind refusing to surrender as deafness began closing in.
@BobtailSqu1d@KhatibHanane Maybe. Though I have yet to encounter an ideology that is entirely comfortable with complexity. Most are excellent at identifying the blind spots of their opponents and far less comfortable confronting their own.
@jjz1600@unholy_moely Well said, James. Security concerns are real and deserve serious discussion. But collective suspicion based on sect or appearance is neither a security policy nor a nation building strategy. Lebanon cannot be saved by replacing one form of exclusion with another.
On a timeline currently divided by politics, I’ve chosen the one issue guaranteed to unite ALL Lebanese opinion against me: Egyptian molokhia.
Nevertheless, this is how Sundays are done in our (mostly Lebanese) household 🤭
@WalstarW@hanihassan26 A lasting end to war is not a small achievement for a country like Lebanon. It won’t solve everything, but it would remove one of the greatest barriers to solving anything at all.
@hanihassan26 Twitter is basically Aristotle’s Organon rewritten by sleep deprived strangers with Wi-Fi. Honestly, it’s the only place where doom scrolling can be rebranded as ‘field research.’ The ancients would be… conflicted.
