Quote of the day:
The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It's always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it's a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections."
Tahereh Mafi, Shatter MeJoke of the day:
Did you hear about the great new restaurant on the moon?The food is excellent, but there's no atmosphere.
