Instead of nightclubs I want a 24hr library with hot chocolate stations, a dessert bar, coffee machine, big comfy chairs and beanbags, blankets, dogs welcome, just people who want to spend the evening reading alone, together, peaceful, a cosy fire, plants, an indoor waterfall.

It will further show how the act of storytelling embedded in the narrative acts as a means of discovering empathy with what is seemingly an invisible presence of the “more-than-human” that influences their lives.

This chapter explores how Shubhangi Swarup’s novel Latitudes of Longing (2018) breaks out of the developmental narrative of nation-time into an exploration of the impressions of deep time in which events impact human consciousness on a planetary scale.

2nd paragraph. Zero sources provided for grandiose claims we're expected to take as true. On Oct 7, before anyone knew how many Israelis had been killed, many were shocked &, yes, happy that a displaced population that has been imprisoned & besieged broke out.

Hey @easyJet I have been calling your customer care for an hour now, no one is picking up. Our luggage is on a flight to Glasgow and we were told that the flight is 2 hours late, and it still shows as delayed on the app, when airport staff are telling us that it left on time!!
