Maps distort geography.

For example, the map of New York's subway system shrinks the massive borough of Staten Island and makes Manhattan look bigger than it really is.

The best maps are easy to use and easy to read. Sometimes, they're useful because they're not accurate.
HISTORY TIME

In 1933, Henry Beck saw that the London Underground was too hard to understand, so he simplified the map.

He abandoned geographic accuracy, which was the standard for maps until then.

Instead, Beck focused on connections between trains and the network of stations.
There are many ways to visualize a city.

Here are some old maps of the New York subway system.

"The Fruits of Friendship"

The most personal essay I've published this year.

I love this quote.

So, so much.
Friends are like a trampoline.

They help you jump higher and land softer. If you’re lucky, you’ll collect some style points too.

iKON VOGUE June 2019 Interview English Translation

#iKON #VOGUE
Although K-POP history is being rewritten every day, there is no moment as intense as Kindergarten kids singing along to ‘Love Scenario’. It’s a phenomenon where kids start singing as if the auto-play button is pressed the moment they hear “Sarangeul~” somewhere.
It has been almost one and a half years since ’Love Scenario’ was released to the world, yet this strange phenomenon is still ongoing. Without knowing who iKON is or what kind of idol they are, they are being loved for ‘Love Scenario’, a song equivalent to a nursery rhyme.

Born & raised in #Fanar #Lebanon, a tiny country in the middle east with a lot to offer. I always had a positive outlook on life maybe because of the culture or values🤷‍♀️.
If you don't know #Lebanon or a #lebanese then you should start mingling 🤣

I grew up surrounded by a loving, joking & tough type of family that always support each other even amidst fighting. You can imaging being 4 kids in different age groups can cause a lot of fights growing up 😂 #siblingsfight #family #VoicesIWS
@IWS_Network
I have my issues🤷‍♀️! I always wanted to prove myself & make my family proud(2nd child). A pressure that was just in my head; they were always proud of us. I wanted to grow up to be a doctor or an army officer like my dad. Let's just say I changed my mind! #VoicesIWS @IWS_Network
