Arundhati Roy has a couple of books of essays

That's a fair point too. I certainly don't usually aim to look brand new, just some TLC that still allows for some of the history to also be seen. The advantage of this being old is that it's all solid timber, no particle, veneer, panels etc. So I can hit it pretty hard.

As Marafon said in another comment, sanding is the eternal task. Reminds me of the Orson Welles quote "If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story."

I feel like I'm not quite where I want my ending on this one yet, but will get there at some point.

It's especially bizarre and frustrating to hear this one constantly too, because most other regions on this list have extensive sanction regimes placed by the UNSC, justified or not. The real reason Gaza stands out here is the veto of any meaningful action on the part of the UN. The public outrage is in direct proportion to this institutional inertia.

Yeah this is where I was headed haha. Thanks!

This is awesome, and the rest of your portfolio is really cool too!

Thanks for the suggestion, mayfirst looks pretty cool

Yeah, I kind of have the reverse now. My old but still pretty good phones with lineage at home, the cheap Google phone to carry. Unfortunately my work requires WhatsApp which is annoying.

Thinking about maybe lineage on a oneplus phone at this point...

Yes it's the apps. I probably could use the website as a workaround.

Credit card in phone case is actually a nice idea (and somewhat obvious in hindsight)for the NFC thing, thanks!
