#Margraten's visitor center is a place of learning & education. It teaches thousands of visitors about the endgame of World War II, prioritising the personal stories of liberators. They all lie in the cemetery as equals: one soldier, one story.

The opening of Rear Window (1954) is Hitchcock at his most meticulous. Without a single line of dialogue, he reveals everything about the setting, the neighbors, and Jimmy Stewart’s character through pure visual storytelling.

The cost of chronic illness isn't just physical. It's losing friends and family. Losing time. Losing dreams. Losing pieces of who you used to be. Losing hobbies. Losing jobs. Losing stability. All while being shamed for not "staying positive."

today marks 1,000 days since my partner became fully bedbound. i planned on writing some reflections on 1k days of caring but honestly i've got nothing in me. eternal love and support to all enduring this, especially those who've been living it for many more years, even decades.
