There’s a timeless story trope where the hero is wandering the streets, lost in worry or despair, when the universe sends a sign. His gaze lands on a mother bird feeding her chicks, or a neon cross in a tattoo parlor window, breaking him out of his daze and awakening him to a...

Someone Has to Fly the Plane

from Raptitude.com [alt+shift+b] in life

12th Jan 2026
When I want a thrill, I walk to the corner store without my phone. Leaving the house like that, with only wallet and keys, feels physically strange and wrong, like I forgot to wear underwear. Even though I didn’t have a mobile phone for the first half of my life, ten minutes...

Winter White

from Luxagraf: Topographical Writings [alt+shift+b] in life

25th Feb 2026
Here in the North, winter effectively begins with the first snow that doesn't melt. This year that was the day before Thanksgiving, almost exactly a month before the calendar says winter begins. It was heavy snow, over a foot, and just like that the world of color is...

That nice, warm feeling you’re carrying over from Thanksgiving? That fullness after your big family get-together? From the meal, from the company, from all of it? It’s important that you realize not everyone is feeling that right now. In fact, many people are experiencing the...

While walking to the metro station after our visit to Lester's, we noticed a huge lineup for donuts at Bernie Beigne.  Not only that, we watched where they took freshly fried donuts and hand-dipped them into glaze.  Then they hung them for all to see in the window.  Wow, if that...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
