#cool ​rocks

I made a whole post about making Kohakutou crystals but…it seems not to exist so I guess I didn’t click post? I swear I did though?!

anyway for the record, this year’s brithday experiment was some rose jam flavoured rocks, and I succeeded

the agar agar I was able t find was from indonesia and only had 7g in the packet, so I halved the recipe that I had

7g agar agar

196g water

340g sugar

I steeped the hot water in dried rose petals before straining to use, and I included some lemon juice in the liquid amount.

then I added some rosewater, orange blossom water and lemon oleo saccharum afterwards, along with the colouring and some metallic coloured sugar to make it a little glittery

the dried flowers floated to the top, and the coloured sugar that didn’t dissolve sunk to the bottom, forming a bit of a crust, which makes it look a bit more rocky when it goes right

it was ready to tear up within an hour or two rather than the four hours I was led to expect. perhaps it was the smaller amount

I did a range of sizes for science

you can see the colour getting darker and the flavour matured beautifully as well

obligatory asmr, for the cronch test on day 4

Mobei-Jun: How should I court Qinghua?

Luo Binghe: Try giving him a gift. There are many things you can give to a human that can be considered a courting gift

Mobei-Jun, handing something to Shang Qinghua: Here, have this neat-looking rock

Luo Binghe: I don't think-

Shang Qinghua: This is amazing my king! This is a cool rock! I'm going to show it off to everyone

Luo Binghe: Huh

In 1992, Sinead O'Connor ripped up a picture of the Pope on live television, in protest of the rampant child sexual abuse the Catholic Church was actively covering up.

Ten days later, she was scheduled to perform at Madison Square Gardens, as part of a celebration of Bob Dylan. As soon as she got to the microphone, the audience began loudly booing her, seemingly in unison.

The organizers tasked Kris Kristofferson with removing O'Connor from the stage. He instead went out and put his arm around her and checked in on her and stayed until she'd steadied herself and was ready to perform. When she came off stage, he wrapped her in a bear hug.

"Sinead had just recently on Saturday Night Live torn up a picture of the Pope, in a gesture that I thought was very misunderstood. And she came out and got booed. They told me to go get her off the stage and I said 'I'm not about to do that'

I went out and I said 'Don't let the bastards get you down'. She said 'I'm not down' and she sang. It was very courageous. It just seemed wrong to me, booing that little girl out there. But she's always had courage."
