Why are we in such a hurry to live? (opens the original)
Read excerpt

You are technically resting, but your mind is not really at rest. You are lying in bed on a Friday morning, yet somehow feel guilty for not getting up and “doing something productive”.

A few minutes into a mindless scroll, my feed pulled up a reel of a Chinese woman (let’s call her
The Pink Bus paradox and the price of women's safety (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How do you pay the price of safety as a woman living in Bangladesh? For many, the answer is with dignity.
