So cool. Humans for scale.

Why can’t you tickle yourself? Now, this is some random information everybody probably has contemplated at one point or another.

Last month, my blog friend Anne shared a post called Umwelt and ‘the other’, in which she referenced an article titled “You’re always the Other Person”.
My blog friend Kae gave me (and you) something else to think about: Our brains + skewed realities.
And my blog friend Suzanne put out a good reminder: Measure with your heart.

I loved that Humans for Scale article — so fun! And the Other Person piece made me cry, although it offers a really lovely perspective.

October 27, 2022 at 5:56 amOh, i love a good link list! I just went down several rabbit holes and didn’t get through half of these. (And now I’m also wondering what is the mystery industry using so much glitter! How can we find out???)

October 27, 2022 at 2:06 pmI am obsessed with the glitter mystery. Obsessed. What could it possibly be? It seems like all the usual suspects have been ruled out. I lean towards military use, but WHAT military use? Why won’t they just tell us?!

You always link to the most interesting articles! And I am here for soup season, too! We are bringing chili to a pumpkin carving party this weekend!

My link is to a blog post by SHU – the comments section is full of great book recommendations and reader discussions. I went through and added a whole bunch of titles to my “For Later” page on my library account.

And, Humans for Scale is ridiculous. Also loved the soup recipe (mmm….soup….). Finally, inquiring minds need to know – did you test the single-serve cookie recipe? ;) The most hilarious thing are the comments on the recipe. The first one I see is someone aghast at the sugar content. Um, dude, it's a *cookie*. Ha.
