My apologies for the belated Variety Hour this week. I’ve been drowning in a sea of deadlines. Fear not, dear reader, for I have dozens of pages for you to peruse.
Headcase
- Anxiety Linked to High Intelligence. We’re all geniuses!
- Attention Alert: A Study on Distraction Reveals Some Surprises. So don’t worry!
Body Image
- 12 Problems That Only Busty Girls Have is pretty self-explanatory.
- Clothes and Self-Perception. This totally makes me want to go out and buy clothes without holes.
- The Fattest People in Paleo. Mad props.
- Stop Being Full of Shit When You Celebrate Strong. Self-explanatory.
- I’m Calling for a New Paradigm. Variation on the Theme.
- How Do Women and Girls Feel When They See Sexualized or Sporty Images of Female Athletes? Interesting research.
Health
- Is the paleo diet hard to do? Can you make the change? Brilliant post by Robb Wolf.
- Endless Screenings Don’t Bring Everlasting Health. I could’ve told you that.
- Potatoes: Harmless Side Dish… or DEVICE OF DEATH!? A short piece for Spezzatino, which raises money for the Healthy Food Bank.
- Five reasons to stop trying to look cool at the gym. A sidebar from an article I wrote for Wellness.MN made it onto Savvy.MN! Check it out if you missed it the first time.
Heck Yeah! (AKA Posts I Wanted to Send to Everyone I Know)
- Student creates portable houses for homeless. Warm fuzzies!
- How to get more likes on Facebook. Don’t do these things. Trust me.
- Startup Professionals Musings: 5 Ways to See If Your Business Integrity is Showing. The world needs more of this.
- Movements in Design: Portrait Play. I stumbled upon Rachel’s blog and was intrigued. I just loved this analysis on food issues in the South Bronx. It reminded me of The Journal of Aesthetics and Protest, and a book titled The Revolution of Everyday Life.
- 10.5 ways local bookstores beat Amazon. Yes. Also, I hear Amazon contracts suck.
Coming Soon
Stay tuned for reviews! Also, I am redoing my entire writing portfolio! But I will be traveling for a bit; first to New York for the ASJA conference, and then covering some events in Wisconsin. Thank you, as always, for your patience and support!
