i went searching for something to say about this photo that didn’t have to do with the changing seasons, which i and everyone else are currently overly aware of, leading to too many online observations on the subject. well, what i’m telling you is that if you ever want to spend some time on an unexpectedly sexy topic, go look up the mechanics of wilting. outside of a harlequin romance, i’m not sure i have ever run into so many references to turgidity, membranes, pressure, rigidity, and contractile vacuoles, whatever those are. please excuse me. i think i have to go powder my nose.
