@partylikejzl w/ @thebristern & @abigailratchford   Where Have All the Hotel Bathroom Doors Gone? Have you noticed this? Bathroom doors out of vogue?

Absolute savage move. On September 2, 1752, the people of Great Britain went to bed and didn’t wake up again until the 14th. Not because there was a widespread coma. But because the British calendar needed some readjusting.  To put it mildly.   The Magic Daily Practice of Facing Your Fears We do it, too. Just today, moments ago, we walked to a coffee shop to finish our writing duties for the day. Not because there’s anything wrong with our place. If we’re being honest, we were avoiding our deadlines. Because writing is scary sometimes. And walking to a coffee shop allowed us to delay dealing with our fears for a few more minutes.  Now, look at us.
