I found this man on 7th Avenue in Park Slope. He was leaning heavily on his cane, looking down, wearing a grimaced face. I felt bad for him, so I smiled and waved when I walked past. His face changed completely. He lit up, smiled wide, and gave me a cheery greeting. There was nothing forced about it. He seemed like a man who went through life looking for the smallest excuses to be happy.

I walked 50 feet down the sidewalk, turned around, and walked back to him. “I want to take your photo,” I told him, “because of how big you smiled when I walked by.”

He said: “Well I saw someone smiling at me who I didn’t even know. So I thought: ‘By God! I Better do something!’”

Wow, German commentator… Way to be a downer!!! He just listed everything that sucks about Azerbaijan.　

My favorite comment from the German commentator was re: Moldova: “The blacksmith (horseshoer?) and his dancing lampshades.”

I need to know, for science: How many of you eat peanut butter sandwiches with tomatoes?　

This sounds so obscenely gross that I really need to try it. Though, I have trouble getting any of my German friends to go near peanut butter so I’m thus more willing to accept that you may know what’s good and proper in life.

My nephew is awesome!

“Personally, I don’t care what that something is. The fact that some people know they are male or female regardless of the sex they were assigned at birth is enough for me, because I respect other people’s lived experiences. I don’t want to sit around “critiquing” trans people’s identity because - aside from the fact that this basically boils down to a disgusting debate on whether people have the right to exist - as a cis person I’m in absolutely no position to understand. And, quite frankly, it’s none of my business.”
