One of my favorite things about Put Baby In Pelican Mouth is that not only does the pelican have the intelligence necessary to speak human language but also knows how to lie, suggesting it has a theory of mind, yet not enough to understand that no one is going to put baby in pelican mouth.
love wins
I'd divorce him too lmao
at the end of the day everything Glinda does is about Elphaba. from the moment they become friends, Glinda becomes permanently changed by Elphaba. she is what she is in the second act because of Elphaba, not in spite of her. because she is trying to outrun her and find a way to live without her, because she regrets not going with her and is trying to convince herself she doesn’t. Elphaba only asks Glinda to come with her once, but from then on Glinda spends years trying to outrun her own answer. and in the end she can’t, and she brings herself back to Elphaba anyway.
You guys may be too young to remember, but I remember tuning in on TV with 600 million other viewers to watch Stevie Wonder live at Wembley Stadium for Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday celebration tribute in 1988. There were technical difficulties and Stevie Wonder couldn't go on yet. The crowd was antsy, milling around, singing their own songs. The TV cameras were rolling and the show had to go on, so TOTALLY UNKNOWN ARTIST TRACY CHAPMAN GOT UP ON STAGE AND PLAYED FAST CAR ARMED WITH ONLY HER GUITAR.
The crowd fell silent. Captivated by the absolute raw honesty and talent on display. Did we know we were witnessing history? A black queer artist who would rocket to fame and win a Grammy for this song the following year? I don't remember.
What I do remember is getting to the end of the song and not caring about Stevie Wonder any more. I wanted to know who this woman was!
Watch Tracy Chapman stun a rowdy crowd into silence:
What is your favourite small, painfully human gesture?
and also if we can just:
I love that we’re inventing historical guys now
