I like being kind to people, because it feels good. But in this age of contempt, where courtesy seems rare and social cohesion is fraying, being kind also feels like an act of rebellion.

Stick it to the man.

#3GoodThings:

The blue whale loses 770-1900 calories every time it lunges to get a bite of krill.

Luckily, with a successful lunge, it can get almost 500,000 calories in one mouthful.

Of course the biggest animal to ever live knows how to maximize gains.

We feed the tummy, they feed the heart. 🐈‍⬛🤍

You are kind to strangers on the internet and you think you we don’t notice. You are generous and empathetic, but you don’t do it for others, you do it for you. And perhaps you think we don’t notice.

We do.

Thank you.

#SixOnSaturday

They say the universe used to be one, big, hot, melty spot, and then it exploded.
They say it’s still expanding, forever. Everything getting farther and farther apart.

Do you think the stars ever get lonely for the old times?
