New York in the summer is a FULL sensory experience; really loved this piece on sensory urbanism and how how "nonvisual information defines the character of a city."
I really loved this essay on aphantasia from @metteleonard. It's the closest I've read to what the experience is like for me, and how having no mind's eye impacts your sense of self and memory
