if the universe is expanding, are we expanding as well?

Since the big bang, the universe is expanding, it doesn’t mean new space is being inhabited that was previously empty, its the existing space spreading out. How measurable is this on the human scale (meaning human dimensions and human timeline)?

Gravity counteracts the expansion, so there’s nothing observable on a human scale. Or even really the Solar System or galaxy scale. All of that’s being held together against the expansion; the space is technically still expanding, it’s just not carrying any of the matter along with it.
