Был только двенадцатый час в начале. Тишина громадных комнат, нарушаемая только изредка пением, доносившимся из нижнего этажа, нагоняла зевоту. Бронза, альбомы и картины на стенах, изображавшие море с корабликами, луг с коровками и рейнские виды, были до такой степени не новы, что взгляд только скользил по ним и не замечал их. Праздничное настроение стало уже прискучать. Анна Акимовна по-прежнему чувствовала себя красивою, доброю и необыкновенною, но уже ей казалось, что это никому не нужно; казалось ей, что и это дорогое платье она надела неизвестно для кого и для чего. И ее уже, как это бывало во все праздники, стали томить одиночество и неотвязная мысль, что ее красота, здоровье, богатство – один лишь обман, так как она лишняя на этом свете, никому она не нужна, никто ее не любит. Она прошлась по всем комнатам, напевая и поглядывая в окна. Остановившись в зале, она не могла удержаться, чтобы не заговорить с Мишенькой.

Нескучные истории - Not boring stories

美国上周初请失业金人数增幅超过预期，但这可能并不意味着就业市场状况出现实质性转变。目前就业市场依然紧张。鉴于劳动力市场的动荡，雇主可能不愿裁员，因为雇主仍关注员工的留任问题。总体而言，未来几周的不确定性将很大，因为与假日相关的典型季节性模式与依然异常紧张的劳动力市场相冲突。科技行业的裁员人数有所增加，比如推特、亚马逊和Meta。然而，预计这不会对劳动力市场和整体经济造成重大拖累

You know, there were times when I hit some serious rough patches, and I was just about ready to throw in the towel. But you wanna know what kept me going? It was my "why". My reason for diving into this whole thing was like a fire in my belly, burning bright and fierce. When your "why" is rock-solid, it's like a forcefield against giving up, no matter how tough it gets. What's your why?

"Less is more," they say. And a new social media trend is supporting this idea by encouraging people to stop buying new things, and use what they already have.

"Underconsumption core" content shows people using items and wearing clothes they've had for a long time, instead of buying new things often promoted by influencers.

In the last decade or so, social media has become the home of influencer marketing, where popular content creators use their platforms to promote products to their followers.

This might be anything from showing clothes they've recently bought to opening — or "unboxing" — new products and reviewing them.

According to Statista, 28% of TikTok users bought products influenced by celebrity content in 2022. But some people are growing tired of being told what to buy.

Diana Wiebe, a TikTok creator and self-named "de-influencer," went viral in 2023 when she posted a video of herself reacting to an influencer shopping at Target, an American discount retail chain.

In the video, Wiebe can be seen calling almost every item she sees "garbage," adding, "You don't need that." Many TikTok users supported her message in the comments.

Talking to Atlanta-based Scripps News, Wiebe explained that the new trend is "a direct rejection of overconsumption."

Another TikTok creator, Sabrina Pare, is sharing the same message to her 250,000 followers through videos showing her using items she's had for years, as well as reusing old materials and wearing secondhand clothes.

The content shows followers how underconsumption saves money and is better for the environment.

A 2017 report estimated that 83 million metric tons of shoes and clothing was thrown away in 2015, and that could increase to 134 million metric tons by 2030.

While Wiebe told Scripps News that companies making new products may have the biggest impact on the environment, she added, "If we consume less, they're not going to produce as much, and hopefully there will be less waste as well."

Less Is More: What Is 'Underconsumption Core'?


El Gato y el Ratón

Había una vez un gato llamado Tomás. Tomás vivía en una casa grande con su dueño, Juan. Tomás era un gato muy curioso y le gustaba explorar todos los rincones de la casa.

Un día, Tomás vio un pequeño ratón corriendo por la cocina. El ratón era marrón y se llamaba Miguel. Miguel estaba buscando comida porque tenía mucha hambre. Tomás decidió seguir a Miguel para ver qué hacía.

Miguel encontró un pedazo de queso en la esquina de la cocina y empezó a comerlo. Tomás se acercó silenciosamente, pero Miguel lo vio y salió corriendo. Tomás persiguió a Miguel por toda la casa, pero el ratón era muy rápido y se escondió en un pequeño agujero en la pared.

Tomás se quedó mirando el agujero, esperando que Miguel saliera. Pero Miguel era muy inteligente y no salió hasta que Tomás se fue. Desde ese día, Tomás y Miguel se convirtieron en amigos. Cada vez que Tomás veía a Miguel, no lo perseguía, sino que lo observaba desde lejos.

Miguel ya no tenía miedo de Tomás y juntos exploraban la casa. A veces, Miguel encontraba comida y compartía con Tomás. Otras veces, Tomás encontraba un lugar nuevo para jugar y mostraba a Miguel.

Y así, el gato y el ratón vivieron felices y en paz, disfrutando de sus aventuras juntos.
