Leonard Haseman wrote this report for the University of Missouri's Agricultural Experiment Station in 1915 with the goal of dispelling some of the myths about cicadas. He writes:
The numerous traditions and superstitions which have been connected with the periodical recurrence of the cicada since the early settlements are still quite prevalent in many localities of Missouri and are often the occasion of unwarranted alarm.
Haseman predicted the emergence of Brood XIX throughout Missouri in 1920. Today, we're seeing (and hearing) the descendants of that brood throughout the state again. Below is a video taken just outside the front door of our library. It might look like the tree branches are swaying in a gentle breeze, but that's mostly just cicadas.
Sound on to experience the screeching that we can hear in our offices with all the windows and doors closed, even as we type.
There’s a book shop in southwest China called Dujiangyan Zhongshuge which is a surreal experience, spiraling staircases, curved archways and strategically-placed mirrors, creating an illusion of infinity.

lol i hate today’s era of absolutely zero nuance takes. a friend didn’t behave exactly as you’d wanted them to? cut them off. a guy didn’t text you back instantly bc he has his own life? he’s just giving you breadcrumbs. doing something makes you uncomfortable? don’t do it anymore. someone isn’t instantly available for you? disinterest. just absolutist statements that often don’t apply to the multilayer situations of everyday life. like. stop. literally just stop it
