I found this Merriam-Webster ask the editor series and had to share. So fascinating!
All posts in learning
…And no fruit juice (video)
I saw someone post this video who surprised me (given the title). It’s not what you’d expect. I’ve ended up watching it multiple times now, so I must like it.
“Why do cats miaow?” (video)
Grant sent me this, of course he did. This isn’t just a cute cat post though (it is cute), it’s also a interesting summary of animal language research! Also, I thought miaow was a specific type of mewing. But it’s actually the British variation of meow. How silly!
5: podcasts I listen to
I know I haven’t posted in a while and I have a backlog of things to to write about, but here’s a post for a quick win! With my miserable commute I’ve been able to carve out time to listen to other podcasts besides This American Life. They are totally mainstream, but I thought I might as…
Managing your time [video]
Someone shared this with me last week, and I guess in honor of it I’ve been pretty much been knitting constantly and not updating this blog. I have a list of posts I’m supposed to write! (text)

Facebook kept recommending that I watch this video and I guess now I’m passing it on to you. Short, well-shot video about a lady who started taking in rescue cats and now has over 700 cats & kittens she takes care of. A little something to break up the day 🙂
Work metaphors
I didn’t make it in time for your Friday 5, but I have 8 drawings to maybe make up for it. Since working I’ve started hearing the same phrases over and over again and I couldn’t help thinking about visualizing them the other day. These are apparently the things I do at work.
5+5 Favorite movies
Someone recently asked me what my top ten favorite movies are. Thought I’d share. These are the ones that I come to mind, with the caveat that I rarely watch a movie several times. In a vague order: My Fair Lady. Maybe the movie I’ve seen the most because I have a large soft spot of musicals…
“The Art of the Gag” (video)
I stumbled across this video and really enjoyed learning the little bit of history on Buster Keaton and his influence on visual comedy. Thought you’d like it too.
