“Falling,” “crossing the line,” and “rolling the dice,” are all common tropes that describe falling in love. They represent the vulnerability and risk someone has to take to give themselves to another person.

Ariana explores themes of falling in and out of love in her music regularly. On “Honeymoon Avenue”, she sang:

They say only fools fall in love
Well they must’ve been talking about us

Since everyone liked the summary last week I thought I’d stick with that format.

Here’s what we discussed (if someone was there and I’ve missed something, feel free to edit this annotation and add it in):

  • News Genius video annotations. Zach, Murk, and Stephen discussed this. Since bagon/web annotator don’t support video annotations, we came up with a good work around of recording what you had to say. Just record yourself, upload an un-listed video to YouTube, then embed it in the annotation you create.

  • Education Genius. Angela brought up Education Genius and Stephen brought up some good points on how the web annotator can be used in school. If you know someone who’s interested or you’re school yourself, hit up Stephen Pringle!

  • Language in the forums. There’s an on-going debate in the moderation forum re: shifting the culture of the forums into a more welcoming place for all. Part of this includes the language we use in the forums. Empath reiterated some great points made by Liz Milch and others contributed their own thoughts. The community staffers are going to get together and take the best ideas from the thread to flesh out a draft of some new, clearer guidelines. The moderation team can look out for this late this week or next week.

  • @streetlights made a rare appearance to plug the now open @transcribers forum! If you’re into scribing, check it out and defs follow the forum so you get notified when a song needs scribing. He also mentioned the updated monthly calendars, which he’s going to make a post in there about in the coming days.

  • Alec & Zach discussed screen genius scribes and Alec & Niday discussed new screen genius scriber guidelines. Expect those guidelines in the coming weeks. #makescreengeniusgreatagain

  • Murk brought up Caribbean culture and dancehall music and how with more people discovering it through Drake’s music, we should be putting in work on Caribbean artists. There’s a dope thread here in the music forum which user @JuLion-Kilo started. Check it out! Expect a follow up thread in the coming days.

  • Zach’s roommate Gabe is going to sign up on Genius and annotate the Flash scripts.

  • Genius contest coming in the summer! Prizes may even involve the dope Genius dice Ewok and Epaulettes showed. Steftim also suggested Geniuscrates.

AND

  • Ewok & BasedGator made their first appearances as staff members! Ewok said he’s loving HQ so far ;)
