i see things most people don't
and i no longer recognize this town
eyes were pleased only when they got something to seize
cues and enigmas
stream down from every hemisphere
i read them along with my wandering eyes
i see things most people don't
and i no longer recognnize this town
i heard a muffled scream from your absolved problems
i watch them
annihilated as they went drown
i see things most people don't
the breeze kicking in,
the nuance is barely near as what i imagine
and it is not the shivering wind to blame to,
it is your faded disposition
that eagerly alienates me
oh, things you can't foresee
it's a rapid changing allegory

The hidden means in nature
In 1917, Toribio Mejía Xesspe, a Peruvian archeologist, was flying over the Nazca Plateau, when he noticed something incredible. Massive line drawings — known as geoglyphs — stretching 175 square miles. Turns out these artworks, which depicted a monkey, a spider, plants, and more, were created around 500 BCE. What had compelled people thousands of years ago to work so hard to create images of the natural world? Some believe it may have been part of a spiritual practice, while others think it was functional — showing the locations of water sources. But whatever the purpose, this much is clear: human depictions of nature reveal as much about the people and the societies who made them, as they do about nature itself. Hi! I'm Sarah Green, and this is Crash Course Art History. [THEME MUSIC] We often think of art about nature as sort of…unbiased. A reflection of what is. Often beautiful. Sometimes, clichéd. But not political, usually, or deep, or containing hidden meanings. And yet, representations of the natural world are just that: re-presentations. Somebody had to pick which part of nature to include: what to highlight or exaggerate, and what to leave out. And usually those choices reveal something about the artist— both personally, and in the cultural context they’re coming from. Like, let’s look at some art from the Chinese landscape tradition. These two artworks display many of the same details. This visual repetition has served as a sort of code that let people read the works across centuries almost like you’d read a poem. And even the colors themselves were part of the code. Since as early as the 400s C.E., soft blue and green color palettes have been associated with dreamlike, magical environments, where humans live in balance with nature. An aspirational state in the religion of Chinese Daoism. Over time, Chinese painters built on this tradition, using the blue/green color palette to create natural landscapes that, while not magical, do invoke a sense of tranquility that can feel just as dreamlike.

The Evolution of LGBT Portrayal in TV and Film
Happy Pride Month, all! I love Pride Month and everything that comes with it; the celebration, the festivities, the prestige. Pride Month is the ultimate beacon of positivity. Now sadly, there are a bunch of people in society who aren't really crazy about Pride Month and have their things to say against it. To those people, I'll only say this. There's a special place reserved for people who are against Pride Month. I'm too much of a gentleman to say it here, but I'll give a few hints: it rhymes with "bell," and I'm not talking about the city in Michigan.
