David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

"Some thoughts are just more interesting than others. I’ll have an idea to go get a cup of coffee, for instance. Or for a scene in a film. Or for making a chair. This is why daydreaming is so important to me. All the thoughts just flow."—David Lynch
Good night David Lynch.

The bird based colour system that eventually became Pantone. An effort to describe the diversity of birds led to one of the first modern colour systems ….this is wonderful. ( well I think so)

“So much of the human brain is devoted to language. How limiting, how pathetic even, to have evolved toward speaking rather than sensing. An evolutionary wrong turn: the limits of talking, the circling and circling in a tank too small—in a tank at all.”

The “micro forest” movement (aka the Miyawaki Method) is taking off in LA. Here’s a website w/step-by-step info for establishing a micro forest in your backyard, on a median strip, or pretty much anywhere. Lots of great resources. #microforest #miyawaki lamicroforests.com/

May 1933: students in German universities plan to burn a long list of books deemed “un-German.” Helen Keller, whose own book is on this list, writes an open letter to the students a day before the burning takes place.
