Admittedly, despite all the awful headlines in recent years (you know what I’m talking about), I’m still low-key obsessed with the ritual, mystique, and drama of the Roman Catholic Church. All the best to you, Leo XIV. In this crazy world, a church that genuinely champions compassion and social justice—and holds its ground in the face of power—is something we could really use.

rip pope francis I remember watching you enter the papacy back in middle school and that itself felt not too long ago…
I’m not even religious myself but i always felt a lot of hope from pope Francis because of his loud empathy and inclusion in an increasingly conservative world
just kind of sad to be honest

Currently tracking the conclave process(I’m not even religious😭) which weirdly makes me feel like im living in the 15th century and the medici’s are in power. Anyway I hope that Tagle gets it because we don’t need an ultra conservative homophobic pope, there’s too much hate in the world already.

It’s the longest underground line in Berlin (over 31 kilometers), dashing through the city like a time capsule in neon. The stations are wild with color, brutalist flair, and West Berlin confidence. One of the longest and most psychedelic tunnels in the world.

These lines aren’t for making friends—they’re for slipping into character. You’re not learning English to connect; you’re learning it to download a persona with edge, mystery, and a little bit of an alcohol problem. Heres a starterpack:
“He means well, but bless him, so does a thunderstorm.”
“I’m not mad, I’m just sittin’ here remembering everything.”
“You keep polishin’ a mistake, it don’t turn into silver.”
“I didn’t come for trouble, but I’m dressed for it.”
“Some folks get by on charm. The rest of us use work and aspirin.”
“I was raised polite, not blind.”
“There’s honest, and then there’s ‘too late to lie.’”

Kucheleck is a cozy bar on a quiet Charlottenburg corner, right across from my daughter’s playground.
I love sitting there, feeling in tune with the neighborhood, watching the old geezers roll by.
Could be an ex-yo, a grandpa in full Burberry, or Wim Wenders himself. The kids play, the sun is out, and for a moment, you just let the city flow past and feel right at home.
