LINK FEST: 15 NOVEMBER 2022

Links that may or may not be related to gardens, food, travel, art, nature, or heterotopias and liminal spaces but probably are. Sources in parentheses.


article: Japanese Aquariums Track Penguins’ Dramatic, Salacious Love Lives Through Complex Flowcharts (Colossal). From Kyoto Aquarium and Tokyo’s Sumita Aquarium.

article: Isopods: Crustaceans in the Forest (Northern Woodlands). We call them pill bugs, roly-polys, sow bugs, and wood lice but they’re not insects at all. They are crustaceans, or isopods.

Twitter thread: Eels (Twitter/Dr. Emily Finch, geologist)

playlist: 715 songs, handpicked by neuroscientists to elicit “frisson” (amandaemcee/Spotify). About half are classical pieces. List includes 25 or so of my favourite songs. (Frisson: “a sudden feeling or sensation of excitement, emotion or thrill.”)

short illustrated list: Invisible things to bring to your vacation (Sophie Lucido Johnson/Instagram). Also, if you’re going to a tidal place, bring a tide table.
