Phil has started talking to himself more, and I don't mean "talking with no one around" I mean like scolding/reassuring himself out loud

I hate to come back to this shit again but I do wanna add it: back when I used to be on stan twitter publicly announcing that people are doxxing you or sending you death threats was a very common way to distract people from your wrongdoings and steer the conversation somewhere else, I’ve seen this time and time again and I’m begging y’all to stop falling for it, don’t even acknowledge it because it has nothing to do with the issue at hand

You just got Moss’d. Send this to five people to moss them.

My favorite thing about these kind of things is that one person starts it and then it's thrown around between like six of us just over and over again.

Not sure if it’s just me…

but i was having a flashback about season 4 and i just discovered that max stopped skateboarding as usual in this season—i guess she has lost the motivation to do the things she enjoy most ever since the death of her brother?

On this thought! So I mentioned the book Grain by Grain in my other post about an heirloom wheat farmer. Quinn found that when gluten intolerance and ideas that bread was bad started cropping up in America, pretty quickly America embraced gluten free and various other alternatives to bread/gluten. And so when he wanted to find a scientist willing to test his wheat, because he had friends with gluten sensitivities who could eat it, no one really wanted to deal with him because consumers (I guess?) weren't looking for a new bread with gluten.

But then he found some Italian scientists that were interested, because similarly, gluten intolerance started cropping up in Italy. But because more Italian food is based around pasta and bread, generally the public was resistant to gluten free stuff and other alternatives. A lot of people echoing the idea, "if humans ate it for centuries then something is wrong with the bread not humans".

I haven't found the time to look into it more but there was a whole thing in that book about food science methods between the US and Italy and how usually American scientists tend to be a lot more reductionistic than Italian scientists. Quinn brought his wheat to some American scientists to test nutrition and their idea was essentially to "throw it in a test tube" and break it down to its nutrients. Whereas the Italian scientists had a simulated human stomach with stomach acid to understand how the nutrients would interact differently in the human body and which were significant.

I know this is all a bit far away from the post but increasingly I'm thinking about our relationships with food, especially in the US, and how warped and strange it can be. Imagine rejecting bread! Or rice! Or potatoes! It's actually insane looking historically.

‘bread is bad for you’ ‘rice is bad for you’ sorry im not subscribing to the idea that staple grains that have been integral to cultures for centuries are evil. i love you carbs

ok thinking about the shows more while i wait at the airport, just going to ramble. i love mcr. i expect grandiosity from them and i feel like they brought that by sort of performing in front of a blank monument to the Thing that is the black parade. and i feel like the experience they built on stage was very psychological maybe like as opposed to sensory or physical as u might with pyro, sculptural set pieces etc—they brought shadows, minimal projections, their german expressionist visual influence, lights… it was all kind of immaterial. which i think bore some connection to the interiority of the black parade as an album all essentially happening in the patient’s mind (most likely from within the confines of white hospital walls, even) and also allowed the audience to project whatever they wanted onto the stage. or like, the band will not show you what the black parade is supposed to mean to you now and they won’t show you what it was supposed to mean to you then. they are just there to make it real for 2 nights. and to command you to feel to the fullest i think, whatever those feelings may be or i guess whatever the album may bring to you. gerard’s speech about violent grief felt like a plain grant of permission & i am glad that they kind of stopped us in our tracks with that. i don’t know. from extraordinary narratives to larger-than-life productions mcr like to process heavy realities through beautiful fictions and for those shows i feel like the audience was what realized that aspect of their art—the presence of however many tens of thousands of people gathered together to scream every word an album front to back—it was amazing and i don’t know how to compute it. it was very silent from where i was between songs also, like we had some kind of singular mission. doesn’t that sound like mcr? it felt like we were their beautiful fiction
