There’s this moment in Spider-Man: Brand New Day where Spider-Man admits and apologizes for something he unwittingly did while a person was under mind-control. It’s really stuck with me. It’s the act of a good person. I hope every kid takes that with them. That’s my Peter Parker.

a regulated nervous system isn't quiet. it's responsive. it laughs loud in restaurants. it cries at commercials. it gets a full body chill from a song it hasn't heard in years. people mistake numbness for peace because numbness is easier to manage. but real peace has a pulse. it moves through you instead of around you.
I know, with increasing precision, what I want my life to contain. Meaningful work. Financial ease. A home that feels expansive and alive. Books everywhere. A table with people around it. Work that travels further than I do. Time to think. Time to write.
queen charlotte and lady danbury standing there saying almost nothing and somehow communicating YEARS of love, loyalty, regret and understanding likeeee golda rosheuvel and adjoa andoh you are unreal
