Thomas Merton on the true meaning of love
“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”

Omg this so much. I hate "I can so you can, too". It makes zero sense. We each have our own abilities and fragilities and they are very different from each other.

I don’t know what to call the belief that all bodies must function like your body, but it’s at the root of so much ableism and eugenics. “Covid was mild for me therefore….” “I can eat xyz, therefore…” “The side effects were mild for me…” “Fasting helped me recover…”

In a new study, out in Attention Perception and Psychophysics, @ananyapassi and I have cool insights to share about a fascinating cross-modal association called the Bouba-Kiki effect. Consider the shapes below: which shape would you call a Bouba? 1/n rdcu.be/c1MbL
