It is vital for kids shows to have the horrors in them. The children YEARN for the horrors. They CRAVE the horrors. I craved the horrors and so will the next generation. And so will the next. Years and years and years of craving the horrors. Which is why you gotta put scaries into the kids stories.

People might wonder why I love etymology so much and the reason is simple — our everyday language is full of poetry. The English word "clue"? It comes from a Middle English word for "a ball of yarn", "clewe", which is a reference to the myth about Theseus and the Labyrinth. The Czech word "potkat" — "to meet"? The "tkat" part actually comes from "tkát" — to weave. To meet someone is literally to get interwoven with someone in Czech. How am I supposed to not love this?

For those of us who live in the ongoing catastrophe, it does not matter if ruling administrative apparatuses assign the catastrophe an unofficial status, or if they assign the catastrophe a reality-for-some status, or if they say the catastrophe is nothing out of the ordinary, or if their word for catastrophe is profit, or if their word for catastrophe is benefit, or if their word for catastrophe is wealth or if their word for catastrophe is democracy; or if their phrase for catastrophe is good life; or even if they say there is no catastrophe. There was a catastrophe and therefore there is a catastrophe. The word for catastrophe is car. The word for catastrophe is boat. The state of catastrophe is exposed. The word for catastrophe is street. The word for catastrophe is photograph. The word for catastrophe is news. The word for catastrophe is lumber, is factory, is field, is oil, now, is monocrop, is virus, now.

People who try to copy historical writing styles don't say enough weird stuff in them. I'm listening to a 1909 story about a ghost car right now, and the narrator just said he honked the car horn a bunch of times, but the way he phrased it was "I wrought a wild concerto on the hooter".

After years of observing these caddisfly larvae, French naturalist and artist, Hubert Duprat, wondered if the caddis flies would use any materials to build their cocoon. He introduced flakes of gold, pearls and opals to the caddis flies and they did in fact use them for their cocoons. They use their own silk as the glue to hold their pupal constructions together.
