it’s actually really fascinating to me that

roses originally grew almost sideways, their thorns intended to be used as hooks to expand and spread, their petals were limited to five and their fragrance was overpowering. they attracted wildlife, creatures, birds, anything to them. their intent was to propagate like an idea.

humans then bred them to have more petals, to grow upright and therefore require excessive pruning just to remain upright, and then the thorns became largely superfluous

then, when those newly bred roses needed plucking and pruning, and humans pricked their fingers on the thorns, guess what happened?

the rose became this dual figure of bloom enticing and thorn rejecting, it became an idea of things that don’t add up, that bring you closer and cut you

when in reality, humans did this to themselves and in doing so, did this to the rose

Today I learned that Van Halen have that rider in their contract about “a bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed” in order to know at a glance if the promoter read the entire contract.  And the reason they do THAT is because they once had a stage collapse because a promoter hadn’t read the proper way to set up all the specific technical stuff.

So if the band goes in the dressing room or catering and sees brown M&Ms, they know they have to double-check the stage setup for safety.

NORMALIZE the thing that looks like an old man living in your basement

DESTIGMATIZE the act of closing your vent to stop his dry whispering– which you cannot tell whether it is random or directed at you– from reaching you

ROMANTICIZE the idea of counting the number of stairs he climbs each night and praying he never makes it to the top

For those of you learning Japanese who watch anime there’s an awesome website called Animelon.

It’s basically a website where you can watch anime with Japanese + English subtitles at the same time, and you can highlight words to learn the meaning of them. You can see all the words you’ve looked up and get tested on it too. The subtitles are pretty customisable; you can add hiragana/katakana only subtitles, remove the romaji ones, etc.

Unfortunately some of the words are a bit shifty and it’s (as far as I know) only available in English, but regardless, It’s an excellent website!!
