TIL the 1831 London Bridge was moved to Arizona! Built to replace the crumbling medieval bridge, it eventually started sinking itself and was sold in 1968. Having seen the modern replacement in London in 2018, it’s wild to think the “original” stones are now in the US!
I am in awe that people still race Penny Farthings. Every year—including this past February 2026. On purpose. The thing has a giant front wheel, no real brakes, and if you hit a rough patch, you’re going headfirst over the bars — they actually call that a “header.” The World Championship course in Eastbourne is nearly 3 miles uphill. One gear. No brakes. Riders show up in full Victorian kit like it’s totally normal.
The art of riding a high-wheeler is the art of falling gracefully.
I was using my iPhone 12 Max and found copying and pasting difficult when I needed to use three or more items. On Android, it’s easier because I can access copy history and paste five or six items when I needed them. I’m glad I have an Android; without it, I would find it frustrating.
It’s disgusting that Trump is showing kids that video of himself after getting shot at a rally during the election season at Easter. What kind of man does that? shaking my head
Ever wonder why every hotel drawer has a Bible? It started in 1899 when two traveling salesmen shared a room and realized weary travelers needed comfort. By 1908, their group, the Gideons, began placing them worldwide. Check out more wild history facts here.
If I ever have a spacious home, this is the vibe I’m going for. A copper tub and wood-burning stove are pure magic! Imagine soaking here while looking out at the woods—it’s the ultimate rustic dream. This level of cozy tranquility is needed.
Word of the Day
Heteroflexible
/ˌhet-er-oh-flek-suh-buhl/ • adjective, sometimes noun
Primarily heterosexual, but open to same-sex attraction or same-sex experiences in some situations.
A label some people use when heterosexuality feels like their main identity, but not an absolute one.
I learned a new word today while reading HuffPost. The article is about the rise of the label heteroflexible, what people mean when they use it, and why some people embrace it while others are critical of how closely it stays tied to heterosexual identity.
It is heartbreaking to see this happening.
A 12-year-old should be hiding safely, not guarding a military checkpoint. Iran’s IRGC recruiting children as young as 12 as “homeland defending combatants” is a gut punch. HRW calls it what it is: a war crime. Kids deserve protection, not deployment.
I am late in acknowledging World Autism Awareness Day and the entire month. But the day is over yet. I already wrote a couple blog articles on Autism. All I need to create an image for each blog article.Will share them when they are published throughout the month.
So Happy World Autism Awareness Day.
“Autism is not a limitation. It is a different way of experiencing the world.” —Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari
