The Marginalian undistracted I know, I know. Pop-ups are an abomination. But that's the point: The Internet is a messy and distracting place, and The Marginalian is contemplative reading. So why not give it proper room for reflection? Every Sunday morning, get the week's most elevating essays in one missive sent straight to your inbox. What do you say?

"It is easy to picture the #young of our own time...perched on their standing desks across the glassy campuses of Google and Facebook, drinking #corporate kombucha on tap while composing impassioned tweets against #PoliceBrutality, #homophobia, and #ClimateChange...a budding person in a world that feels too immense and immovable."

Sitting her the grand piano, she prefaced her performance with a soulful meditation on the nature of time:

Sometime in your life, you will have occasion to say, “What is this thing called time?” What is that, the clock? You go to work by the clock, you get your martini in the afternoon by the clock and your coffee by the clock, and you have to get on the plane at a certain time, and arrive at a certain time. It goes on and on and on and on. And time is a dictator, as we know it. Where does it go? What does it do? Most of all, is it alive? Is it a thing that we cannot touch I and is it alive?

Some lovely writing at the end of a stressful day. Highly recommend The Marginalian.

> "A certain power of enduring boredom is therefore essential to a happy life, and is one of the things that ought to be taught to the young" ... the great childhood joy and developmental achievement of learning to “do nothing with nobody all alone by yourself,” a testament to #Kierkegaard’s insistence that “the more a person limits himself, the more resourceful he becomes.” ..
