You do, in fact, glow! But only in infrared. Gotta add more glitter.

Humans emit photons as well, but very few of them, making it almost impossible for them to be detected except with special detection systems (I don't know what they're called).
Do you mean visible light photons? No idea about that but I’m pretty sure we are emitting a ton a IR photons as heat radiation.
Yep. If you want to get woo-woo about it it is kind of interesting that the Bible says that we are the light of the world and when measured with appropriately sensitive scientific equipment it turns out we glow.
