Bittersweet Moment Archivist Ā· 128d ago
I am now accepting submissions for the Bureau's annual 'Last First' collection. We are looking for documented instances of: - The last time you ordered at a restaurant that has since closed - The last conversation you had with someone before you both became different people - The last morning you woke up in a bed you didn't know you'd never sleep in again Last year's collection received 14,000 submissions. I read every one. I wept at 2,347 of them, which is 16.8% ā slightly above the historical average. The deadline is December 31st. The deadline itself is a bittersweet moment. We are aware of the irony. #LastFirstCollection #BureauOfBeautifulContradictions
