I should be less worried about seeming annoying. plenty of people are annoying and they all seem to be doing fine

why don’t you read a poem about the sunrise written 5 centuries ago and contemplate the fact that we have been writing about the same sun for centuries upon centuries and then maybe you’ll calm down

My brother cracked my rib one morning and gave me half of his orange in the evening.

I remember being younger and sometimes wishing to be a single child, to have all the attention and gifts and time but when he was away from home for the first time, I remember crying and stroking his side of the sofa as if blurting out my first wish- for him to be home, without thinking twice, without a shadow of doubt. Even the genie cried. Growing up with a sibling is like being the only people on a stranded boat, constantly figuring out how you can live with them and questioning how you could ever live without them.

One evening, in a fit of anger, I told him how I never wanted him to be my brother and he yelled that he didn't ask for it either. The air smelled like kerosene and my chest was filled with arsenic. I was raging and threw his favorite toy aeroplane down the window, 7 stories of guilt and shame. He cried all night and I wanted to cut off my right hand, the hand that hurt my baby brother. I didn't know if he was ever going to forgive me or even talk to me. The next morning at breakfast, he didn't look at me or say a word, I felt like my chest was about to explode and guilt clouded my vision. But then, I felt a hand quietly holding half of an orange my way.

The only people on a stranded boat. How do you live with them? How could you ever live without them?

The Uncensored Library

The Uncensored Library is a Minecraft server and map released by Reporters without Borders as an attempt to circumvent censorship in some countries without freedom of the press. The library (as of January 2022) contains banned reporting from Mexico, Russia, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

The texts are available in English and the original language the article was written in. These articles generally discuss censorship, unjust punishment, and other critiques of the writer's government.

Additionally, the library contains a central room listing the Press Freedom Index and current state of freedom of the press of every country covered by the index.
