Warranting Thought
"All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die."
From September 1, 1939
by W. H. Auden

‘Roly poly’, designed by the Design Incubation Centre at the National University of Singapore, are a pair of egg-like objects that mirror each other’s movements, even when physically separated. Two people thus can sense each other’s presence despite distances across the world: a tap of one half will create a simultaneous reaction in the other.
#this would be a great gag gift tbh #”hey i know you like vintage things i found this egg in a thrift store apparently it came from some house in the 19th century” #”it has a rich story apparently this was some little boy’s favourite toy before his own mother smothered him with a blanket” #and then when you get home JUST START ROCKING YOUR EGG BACK AND FORTH
I can’t decide which interpretation I like better.
