“Too little sacral movement (overly stiff SI joints) and too much sacral movement (unstable SI joints) each come with their own physical issues.”
Katy Bowman, Rethink Your Position: Reshape Your Exercise, Yoga, and Everyday Movement, One Part at a Time

Rebecca Solnit
“As Joshua Jelly-Schapiro said one day, every map is a story, and by implication every story contains a map. I loved maps for a long time, but it wasn’t until I made them and put them out in the world that I discovered how not alone I was. People love maps. There is a special incandescent joy to how they respond to a good map that is different from the way I’ve seen people to respond to any other art form. They light up. They get greedily engrossed. They start tracing possibilities, thinking, interpreting, measuring: maps demand work, and this kind of cerebral work can be exhilarating. By a good map I mean an aesthetic one, a map that is an invitation to the imagination, a map that offers a fresh view of the familiar or an introduction to the unfamiliar or finds the latter in the former. If every map is a story, most of them are mysteries that invite you to solve them while remaining forever unresolved, in that they indicate more - more past, more future, more adventure, more travelers. They have an openness, indicating more than they depict.”

Andrea Lawlor
“People said you could get lost in California, never come back to reality; people warned about lotus-eating. Paul thought maybe he didn't mind so much. He could stay here forever, and time would stop, and he wouldn't have to choose anything.”
Andrea Lawlor, Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl

Stephen Wolfram
“When we make a neural net to distinguish cats from dogs we don’t effectively have to write a program that (say) explicitly finds whiskers; instead we just show lots of examples of what’s a cat and what’s a dog”
Stephen Wolfram, What Is ChatGPT Doing... and Why Does It Work?
