thinking about the woman i talked to last semester who works in herbicide development

lovely and very knowledgeable woman. you can tell she has a passion for what she does. i asked her where she sees the future of her field, with herbicide resistance on the rise and the herbicide industry's failure to keep up. and she said, "i just hope we make it long enough for me to do this job i enjoy until i retire"

and i think about that sort of benign-seeming short-sightedness a lot. she doesn't want anything special. she just wants to live her life and do her job. she's middle-aged and not looking to figure out a new career path. it's all so understandable.

and yet her job is not only doomed, but dooming the rest of us with it. reliance on herbicides not only harms the environment but is simply not a feasible long-term plan. the plants are smarter than us, full stop. if we don't figure out large-scale ways to manage weeds without exclusively relying on pesticides, we're fucked. that's it. we aren't discovering new modes of action, and the number of weeds with resistance to multiple known modes of action is only increasing. holding out hope for a new herbicide to appear on the scene and magically make all our problems go away is foolish and dangerous, even if you ignore the ecological effects of herbicide use.

she's smart. this is not esoteric knowledge. she knows this. when asked, she didn't say "that's an exaggeration of the situation we're in." she said, "i just hope we can make it another couple decades." and i wonder how many people in this industry and others like it are motivated not by passion or willful ignorance or evil greed but by the simple human desire to be able to stay where you're comfortable and happy. and what does it take to move someone with that kind of inertia?

i don't know. i think about it a lot, though. people are people and if we're going to talk to productively about things we disagree on, we need to humanize the other side in our own minds first.

If I tell you this is a horror dance number it still won't prepare you. That last move was so terrifying even the judge was like "Let go! Let go!" If you told me they're actually possessed I'd believe you.

The music is a remix of the song Mere Dholna from the Bollywood movie Bhool Bhulaiyya, a remake of the classic Malayalam horror-comedy Manichitrathazhu. It's about a young bride that seemingly becomes possessed of Manjulika, a dancer of the ancient royal court whose tragic death has turned her into a vengeful spirit, one who evokes the wrath of the goddess Durga Kali. In the iconic scene that is repeated across remakes, the groom and his family discover his bride dancing in the dead of night in a manic, disassociative fugue, wearing a moth-eaten dancer's costume and a face smeared in kohl, ash and vermilion. She's hallucinating that she's Manjulika dancing carefree for the court with her lover. The upbeat music is deliberately incongruous with the pathos and creepiness of the scene in reality, especially as it crescendos in the bride's head to the moment when the king decapitates Manjulika's beloved in a fit of jealous rage.

This specific number is by the all-male troupe B Unique, performed for the Indian reality talent contest Hunabaarz. It's a modern fusion based on Bharatnatyam that turns up the creep factor by 200% and is basically a showcase of contortionism and synchronicity. One of the most perfectly choreographed and executed dances I have ever seen. Truly incredible!

The group is still taking their work across the world's talent shows. And yes, that guy is hypermobile enough to do that with his neck. XD

When the huge glaciers of the last ice age receded, birch trees would have been one of the first to re-colonise the rocky, ice-scoured landscape.
