Harrison Ford is 82 years old, but he gave one of the best performances of his life in the latest season of Shrinking. Like where did this come from? Similar to De Niro, Ford’s late-stage work astonishes me. He’s still so sharp & still has so much endurance in his 80s. A legend.

This is my favorite story from all my years of teaching: A student said, "I want to go back in time and take Shakespeare's quill so he could never write a word. He doesn't speak *my* language." I said, "Let's sit down and talk about it." The student said he was frustrated by…

This captures the theme of Solomonic kingship, an ideal form of rulership-based on the principles of harmony between predators and prey and justice for all- to be followed by Muslim sovereigns, including the Mughals.

No one captured the raw, dramatic world of Indian circuses quite like the legendary Mary Ellen Mark. Her photos are haunting, powerful, and deeply human. A thread on ten of her most striking circus photographs—each telling a story you won’t forget. 1/12

It is no secret that our relationships with our parents during our formative years shape the subconscious frameworks through which we navigate all subsequent intimate relationships. This is logical - relational wounds often require intimate connections to heal. To fall in love is…
