What is it about toilet paper?
What is it about this toilet paper binge? I think we lost our humanity long before Corona. And if our response and attitude towards each other during this crisis is anything to go by, we won’t re-find our humanity anytime soon either.

Insomnia, Anxiety, Mental Clutter – Be gone
