Quick trivia question: where does the kiwi fruit originate from? I’m sure you want to say the land known for kiwi: the fruit, the bird, and the people–New Zealand.
It’s one of the things we really think of when the Southern Hemisphere nation is brought up. But kiwis didn’t come to New Zealand until the early 20th century, and were brought over from mainland China.
But Kiwis embraced yang tao–the Chinese name for kiwi–and by 1962 the fruit had become so synonymous with the country that they dubbed it “kiwifruit,” to go along with the rest of the country. (It’s popularly known that the kiwi fruit was named after the kiwi bird, because they’re both small, brown, and fuzzy!)
Nowadays, New Zealand isn’t even the main producer of the vine-grown berry fruit–that happens to be Italy, whose southern lands hold the best year-round climate for growing kiwi fruit. But it’s still the official fruit of New Zealand, and everyone around the world wants to eat a kiwi from the land of kiwi!
“The first lesson I had with him was actually in May of 2021. He was shooting ‘Bones and All’ at the time, and he came in with this shocking red magenta hair and like super, super skinny Timmy and I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s not what I was expecting.’ And he has really great rhythm, so it wasn’t hard for him to pick it up.”
“When he came back from ‘Bones and All,’ he also was doing the ‘Dune’ press junket. And you could tell when he was away, he practiced what we gave him. Timmy was definitely like, ‘Push me. I don’t want to just look like I’m doing basic stuff here. If you want to do it, make me do it.’ And he put in all the work.”

Dialogue Prompt: "I can't change my feelings for you. Believe me, I tried."
The words should be a comfort, the soft admission that he doesn't want it either.
But he won't let it go. Won't leave the room the moment that he sees her. And those impossible, soft eyes, the tender way he's ready to forgive her worst impulses, they hurt more than his anger ever could.
Because with how he stares, there's no way to outrun the thousand choices that she didn't make. The happiness she hadn't wanted then, the second chance she knows she can't deserve.
There's no way to deny herself his warmth, the way his mouth will feel. The need to hold somebody close enough to hurt her.
The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It occurs annually between December 20 and December 23.
The winter solstice is marked by the point at which the North Pole is at its farthest from the sun during its yearly orbit around the sun. It will be approximately 23 degrees away from the sun. Despite the temperature outside, the winter solstice is considered the astronomical beginning of winter. Meteorological winter begins December 1 and lasts until the end of February and is marked by the coldest average temperatures during the year.
Depending on how far north a person is in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter solstice, their day can range from 9.5 hours to absolutely no sunrise at all. On the bright side, the days will gradually become longer in the Northern Hemisphere until the summer solstice in June. In the Southern Hemisphere, this same day marks the summer solstice and the Southern Hemisphere’s longest day of the year.
The vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox conventionally mark the beginning of spring and fall respectively and occur when night and day are approximately equal in length.
Around the world since ancient times to modern day, celebrations, festivals, rituals and holidays recognizing the winter solstice have varied from culture to culture.
HISTORY
Since the marking of time and the earliest calendars, this day marked the hardest time of the year for early people. Survival was paramount when food and heat are not reliable. In all corners of the Earth, there are ancient remains that seem to have been built around marking the winter solstice.
Probably the most famous of these is Stonehenge, England. Every year when the sun sets on the winter solstice, the sun’s rays align with two of the giant stones known as the central Altar and the Slaughter stone.
As the sun rises the day of the winter solstice, its rays illuminate the main chambers of the monument dating back to 3200 B.C. at Newgrange, Ireland.
In Tulum, Mexico an ancient Mayan city stands deserted. At the top of one of these buildings, a small hole casts a starburst when the sun rises on the winter and summer solstices.
