This and That

(Feathers from late summer walks with Rhys.)

This week flew by quickly, though I was just as busy. We’re settling into a school routine and things are going well. We have a quiet weekend planned, and I’m looking forward to it. Here are a few things that caught my eye this week.

Photos from a new Irving Penn exhibit at the Smithsonian.

Hilarious photos capturing “A Day in the Life of a Stormtrooper.”

Lego for grownups. These are really cool!

Alabama Chanin has a new collection out that’s gorgeous, as always.

A mainstream fashion blogger changes her view after watching The True Cost.

The United States throws away too much food.

A very long, but fascinating story about a young neuroscience student’s fight to preserve her brain after she died of cancer.

Alden Wicker’s great interview with Erin Schrode of Teens Turning Green.

I’ve read about passive houses in Oregon, but here’s a tour of the first passive house in Texas.

Have a great weekend!
