Vanishing Asia Kickstarter<\/strong>
\nFor 40 years I\u2019ve been photographing the disappearing traditions of Asia. This week I launched a Kickstarter campaign for my oversized 3-volume book set that captures this wonderful otherness. I crammed a continent of images into 1,000 pages. The book, Vanishing Asia, is a time machine that will take you to a place where everything is done differently, before the world was all the same. I guarantee it will inspired you. My goal is to maximize the number of fans who get the book rather than maxing revenue, so I\u2019ve discounted the\u00a0Vanishing Asia Kickstarter<\/a>\u00a0way below the retail price. I hope you join me in this adventure and back the book. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Depths of Wikipedia<\/strong>
\nLast year a college student named Annie Rauwerda launched\u00a0Depths of Wikipedia<\/a>, an addictive Instagram account with screenshots of unusual and fascinating Wikipedia entries. I\u2019ve learned about\u00a0Revenge bedtime procrastination<\/a>,\u00a0Broken escalator phenomenon<\/a>, the\u00a0Fregoli delusion<\/a>, and a lot more. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Different types of rest<\/strong>
\nThis\u00a0TED article<\/a>\u00a0outlines the 7 types of rest you might need and how to go about getting it. The 7 types are: physical, mental, sensory, creative, emotional, social, and spiritual. Obvious advice would be to make sure you are carving out time for exercise, sleeping, screen-breaks, nature, and meditation. But two types of rest that I\u2019ve never had words for before are\u00a0emotional rest<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0social rest<\/em>. Emotional rest is giving yourself time and space to freely express your feelings. (I think my twice-monthly therapy sessions satisfies this.) And to experience social rest spend time with positive and supportive people that \u201crevive\u201d you, and stay away from the relationships that drain you of energy. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Aromatherapy tablets for the shower<\/strong>
\nWe don\u2019t have a bathtub in our home so luxurious baths are not a possibility for me, but these\u00a0aromatherapy bomb fizzies by Floroma<\/a>\u00a0are designed for showers and are the next best thing. The key to using these is to place them\u00a0near<\/em>\u00a0where the water hits, but not directly beneath. They\u2019re scented with 6 different essential oils (eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, lemon, rose and orange) and the smell is so relaxing and makes the entire bathroom smell really good. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Wild Argan Oil Body Butter<\/strong>
\nDuring the colder months I need to apply skin moisturizer after I take a shower or else my legs itch like crazy. I recently started using\u00a0The Body Shop\u2019s Wild Argan Oil Body Butter<\/a>\u00a0and I love the smell and feel of it. Argan oil comes from the fruit produced by a tree of the same name. It\u2019s edible, too! \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Followable twitter bots<\/strong>
\nI follow two bots on Twitter to break up its relentless seriousness.\u00a0Systemantic Quotes<\/a>\u00a0posts one-line riddles about the antics and behavior of all systems derived from the book \u201cSystemantics, or the Systems Bible.\u201d Such as: \u201cIn dealing with the shape of things to come, it pays to be good at recognizing shapes.\u201d Every four hours the\u00a0Magical Realism Bot<\/a>\u00a0posts a one-sentence \u201cstory\u201d written by an AI. These summaries are surreal, mostly absurd, but every once in a while, it\u2019s a core of a decent idea. Other bots to follow are welcomed. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
