A quotation from Montaigne

Philosophy does not do battle against such pleasures as are natural, provided that temperance accompanies them; she teaches moderation in such things not avoidance.
 
[La philosophie n’estrive point contre les voluptez naturelles, pourveu que la mesure y soit joincte : & en presche la moderation, non la fuitte.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essay (1586), “On some Lines of Virgil [Sur des vers de Virgile], Essays, Book 3, ch. 5 (3.5) (1595) [tr. Screech (1987)]

Day 3:

My son went to Japan last month. He was in a museum and picked up this notebook for me. The art is fascinating. Def my style.

Turns out it’s for a project called Potziland Records. It’s some bands that originated out of an art project.

The music isn’t quite to my liking, but I wholly appreciate it. The art is rad, though.

Every day for 10 days I’m gonna share something that brings me joy.

Why? To remind myself why it’s worth fighting fascism. And I hope that it brings a little delight to your timeline as well.

Why 10 days? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Let’s be joyful together. Please feel welcome to add a delight from your day to the mix.

Day 1:

Multigrain Cheerios with fruit and walnuts, with vanilla soy milk.

It might come in useful if you're looking to disentangle yourself from services and products based in certain countries and take advantage of the EU's privacy laws and regulations.

Some familiar names are on the list, while others may be new to you.
