Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Read Maris's piece, then go show your local indie bookstore some love. They're so much more than places to get books--they are places to engage with ideas and others in your community. Staffed by actual humans to help you find the books you didn't know you needed!

True, I just always lose my spot lol. Normally when we leave, I do a loop around the house to pick up everything that could be eaten... Books are a last resort, but obviously still of interest πŸ˜‚

The Telepathy Tapes In a world that often dismisses the extraordinary as mere fantasy, The Telepathy Tapes dares to explore the profound abilities of non-speakers with autismβ€”individuals who have long been misunderstood ...

Just started to listening to the Telepathy Tapes--an investigation into the communication abilities of non-speakers with Autism. Excellent and paradigm shifting (though maybe not surprising)--strong recommendation!

Jealous! Once I hit the emails at the bottom, that are semesters old, I lose the ability to make rational and organized decisions πŸ˜‚
