MIND-READING BARISTA!?!
(Urban Scout circa 2001) I recently finished reading Muses, Madmen and Prophets: Rethinking the History, Science and Meaning of Auditory Hallucination. I really enjoyed this book. Both because it gave me a broader understanding of hearing voices, but also because it reminded me of so many experiences in my own life of hearing things.

LOLscout
The internet feels rather lonely for a philosophical rewilder at the moment. The redirection of rewilding heavy hitters Jason Godesky and Willem Larsen into personal rewilding projects has seen a huge wealth of philosophy and the marketing of rewilding diminish.

An Afternoon Knap @ Rewild Camp
This week I had to work a lot so I missed out on a lot of chances to work on my list. My soaking pool turned into a mosquito incubation chamber and we had to temporarily dismantle it. Oh man, did it think stink underneath the tarp! Rotting grass smells terrible. I also felt pretty…

English Ivy Basket #2
I’ve taken a few basket classes now, and of all the twining basketry books I think the two pictured above have the best information for newbies; great pictures and illustrations. So many books on basketry read like mathematic equations; lots and lots of strange vocabulary with no accompanying photographs or drawings. Even so, I think…
