I often think about how legacy news is normalized as authoritative despite many of its gross errors and it’s probably, at least in part, due to associations with other perceived “authoritative” institutions, businesses and traits. For instance, Freud believed we associate height with authority. I think he was right. Many times I’ve met people in person and they’d say, “you’re so much shorter than I’d envisioned!” So, do we associate airports with authority? Are they hubs for corporate media propaganda? And...Why the heck is CNBC the brand of the snack shop?!
The neighborhood is a little quieter this week after local schools started back up again. We homeschool, so on the “first day of school” yesterday, we visited our friend’s farm and milked her huge Brown Swiss cow. We took so many “classes” in that short 30 minutes. Science, math, spelling, nutrition, even gym class!
We just sold homemade superfood chocolate at our first farmer's market. Here's a look at what it was like - and what we learned for successful sales!
