Londoners, if you’re struggling today, remember this:
Tomorrow you’ll wake up in a European city, where hundreds of languages are spoken and every race, religion, class, country and culture are represented. London will always be European, and London will always be open.

By the way, if you're fascinated by the TIME article on #niksen and the NYT article on #dropping, I can very much recommend @StuffDutchLike. Humorous, if merciless, insights into the Dutch psyche that are painfully spot on.

Alabama just passed a near-total ban on abortion.

Doctors could face 99 years in prison for providing abortions.
