IN THE NEWS

• The world’s oldest person has died. Read a bit more about her, or from her (on X) where she posted as Super Àvia Catalana (subtitle: “Soc vella, molt vella, però no idiota.” I'm old, very old, but not an idiot.)

• How many of you have heard of (or are now taking) Fatty15? (Here’s the actual molecule.) Also re-trending: Shilajit and creatine.

• Will Weight-Loss Drugs Kill the Snack Food Industry?

• Sage Mountain Botanical Sanctuary (founded by Rosemary Gladstar) is offering a Forest Bathing, Nature Therapy, and Art Immersion weekend.

• This wonderful list of free herbalism resources by David Winston—one of my main teachers who is also currently accepting students for his next two-year course. For those of you who prefer quick video tips, learn local foraging (and a lot more) with Alexis Nikole.

• Herbal ephemera: I gathered so much material while researching for my book that I think it may need to become a book of its own. Herbal b-sides? From that stash: Damiana liqueur.

• Rich Roll & psychiatrist Phil Stutz on “obsessive ambition to self-sabotaging thought loops [and how] self-imposed constraints stem from attachment to narratives propagated by societal forces profiting from mass discontentment.” I’ve been recommending RR for as long as I’ve been sharing health resources; what a special human.

• Speaking of special humans, my icon Sheila Heti collaborated with a visual artist to create a beautiful poster with questions for artists/writers/novelists. Ask them of yourself if you’re not currently working on anything creative.

• Continuing the theme: This post from Antonia Dolhaine of SpaceUnknown on building a capacity for ambiguity. I adore her work.

• Substack Subscription Sale! A reminder that for the next week, we’re offering 20% off all subscriptions.
