Adding alt text to this because this is fucking amazing and everyone deserves to read it.

so cool!! this love is (h)ours, the hand that jumps across time

in this sense, maroon is a warning sign. she gave so many signs 🤭

Before becoming a color name, maroon referred to a loud firework. Supposedly, people associated the noise of a chestnut bursting in a fire to an exploding firework. Most notably, maroons were used during World War I as a warning to take cover because of an approaching air raid.

old chestnut idiom • informal a subject, idea, or joke that has been discussed or repeated so often that it is not funny any more: • “I wondered whether there might, after all, be some truth in the old chestnut that one's school days are the happiest of one's life.”

ahhhhh maroon, that old chestnut

a rotating cage, crazy hours indeed

TOURBILLON: a whirlwind/whirlpool, a type of firework that spirals upwards, and a watch mechanism that literally defies gravity ⚙️🧨🌪️🤌

i’m inspired by patterns in nature that meander and spiral 🌱🌀🌿

reminders to self
• material resources ≠ talent
• visibility ≠ ability
• access ≠ acceptance

an economy which values speed and linear progress deprives those of us who derive our value by other means.

i found this interesting chart connecting celestial bodies with the 7 days of the week & notes in a major scale.

if all her mornings were mondays in an endless february, could that mean stuck on the 1st note in the scale? aka the Do (dough 🍞💵) in do-re-mi?

i’m still haunted by these word choices. naming the gov agency instead of saying something general like “your detective skills”? top-notch, like a notch on your belt?

Burning glass Wikipedia image of a replica (on a smaller scale) of the burning lens owned by Joseph Priestley, in his laboratory Article excerpt: A burning glass or burning lens is a large convex lens that can concentrate the Sun's rays onto a small area, heating up the area and thus resulting in ignition of the exposed surface. Burning mirrors achieve a similar effect by using reflecting surfaces to focus the light. They were used in 18th-century chemical studies for burning materials in closed glass vessels where the products of combustion could be trapped for analysis. The burning glass was a useful contrivance in the days before electrical ignition was easily achieved.

Sports: lighting the Olympic torch The Olympic torch that is carried around the host country of the Olympic Games is lit by a burning glass, at the site of ancient Olympia in Greece. Popular culture: verification attempts There have been several real-world tests to evaluate the validity of the legend of Archimedes described above (see § War: since the legend of Archimedes) over the centuries, including a test by Comte de Buffon (circa 1747), documented in the paper titled "Invention De Miroirs Ardens, Pour Brusler a Une Grande Distance", and an experiment by John Scott, which was documented in an 1867 paper. 201 In 1973, Greek scientist Dr. loannis Sakkas, curious about whether Archimedes could really have used a "burning glass" to destroy the Roman fleet in 212 BC, lined up nearly 60 Greek sailors, each holding an oblong mirror tipped to catch the sun's rays and direct them at a wooden ship 160 feet away. The ship caught fire at once. Sakkas said after the experiment there was no doubt in his mind the great inventor could have used bronze mirrors to scuttle the Romans.
