sharing a seat next to a stranger

on a park bench, plane, train, subway... so weirdly intimate... where are they going and what did they have for breakfast...

Assigned seats

I feel like it’s popular to hate on assigned seating so I want to show my support. When you assign my seat, you’re doing me a favor. You’re freeing me from the tyranny of choice, or the burden of asserting myself. Walking into a wedding reception to find my name on a little tag with a table number—my fate decided, nothing I can do about it now—is heaven. Walking into a movie theater and knowing my seat is saved is a perfect experience. No notes.

Letting strangers sit at your table when youre eating alone

I was at the airport sitting at a table that seats 4 and a family of 3 were looking for a table and I told them they could sit with me

EVERYTHING BECOMES A CRAB

I read this Aeon essay called “Homo Crustaceous” that discussed a study of different lineages of crabs that all eventually evolved into the crab, which sparked internet memes. The article makes a pretty good argument that crabs are more similar to humans than we believe. https://aeon.co/essays/are-humans-destined-to-evolve-into-crabs
