Random bee behavior fact for those who wish to read, just because I feel like it and because it’s late and I’m stalling on sleeping:

Bumblebees look like passive, cuddly, and docile creatures; and they generally are- but they won’t hesitate to defend themselves if they feel their warnings aren’t being seen!

I.e. below, when a bumblebee feels threatened they will raise one or more of their legs into the air, signaling to whatever or whomever may be bothering them as a message essentiality saying: “hey, back off, too close!”

species: top, bombus pascuorum / bottom, bombus impatiens

If their defensive posture goes unnoticed or ignored, they may be pushed into defending themselves by stinging (which is an all around sucky experience for not only you, but also for the bee. (Note that bumblebees do not die after stinging, but it is still stressful for them.) If you ever find yourself getting close to a bumblebee while taking pictures, trying to move them, or just admiring them, remember this posture! If they do this, it is simply asking you to take a step back because it feels it is being threatened! You might get stung.

Now you can understand and use this knowledge to your advantage if you ever come across one in the future. (Of course, because it’s very hard not to anthropomorphize animals, I do admit that they look cute when doing it. Just remember to respect their space!)

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and

Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.

i’ve never been sure if i’ve had friends because i know i’ve been a friend and only thought i had them but when i found out i did not actually have them, it felt like that moment when you’re in public and someone waves at you and you wave back or you brighten up because someone maybe sees you but it turns out they’re seeing someone behind you and you have to deal with being a little flustered that you thought you existed to another person and the realization that you don’t kinda makes you want to go to bed with a blanket pulled over you.

I love how Grace insults the guy by saying he's a "staggering waste of carbon". Not oxygen. Oxygen has been done before, a waste of the air you breathe, oxygen is mean, yes, but carbon. Grace gets right down to what humans are made of when he insults people and I love that tbh

I love you tiny local bands, I love you barely legal, self managed concert venues, I love you micro labels, I love you diy recordings, I love you weird instrumental pieces with bizarre instruments and strange scales, I love you 20 mn songs, I love you musicians who play for fifteen people in a bar in some remote town, I love you trad music of all countries, I love you music made by minorities and marginalized people, I love you songs with no recognizable chord grid, I love you any music that was not engineered by an army of lyricists and producers to appeal to the largest audience possible and make the biggest profit out of people’s emotions and sensitivity.
