A beautiful photo essay on what LA smells like by restaurant critic Tejal Rao (photos by Ryan Young) The New York Times asked readers what they’d put in their own personal ‘smell museum’ and it’s a lovely read. My smell museum: beer, cigarettes and deep heat from a childhood of rugby club weekends.

OTHER STUFF
Recently found out (reading randomly on Medium) that the phrase ‘Jake of all trades, master of none’ is only half of it… ‘A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one’. Yay generalists
A weekly still life drawing challenge – A new prompt is posted on the gram every Sunday, and the hosts then showcase some of the illustrations. Lots of nice stuff, and inspiring to see the different styles.
There are many reasons to love Japan/Japanisms - ‘Mundane Halloween costumes’ is one of them.
I Miss You by Riz Ahmed. He’s amazing. Made me cry. The old world is dead now.
