Someone said to me, “I’m going grocery shopping. Do you want anything?” To which I answered, “Hans Zimmer apples, please,” and they brought me some (they looked like Granny Smith apples but I didn’t get to taste them).

I can’t believe I accepted that Hans Zimmer apples were a real thing without questioning it and just assumed they were named after the composer, in his honor, like that horse fly species which was named after Beyoncé.

The horse fly what

The horse fly which was named after Beyoncé!

damn, Bryan looked at a fly and he thought “mmm. bootylicious.”

The virgin Edward Cullen: calling a snail effervescent

Beyonce’s ‘Lemonade’ Turns A Somali-Brit Poet Into A Global Star

So now we know who Beyonce’s favorite poet is: 27-year-old Somali-Brit Warsan Shire.

Shire’s poetry was heard ‘round the world last Saturday in Lemonade, Beyonce’s latest album, dropped on HBO in the form of a 1-hour special — a sweeping series of songs and videos that look at romance, rage and redemption. Between the glossy cinematography and, of course, the music, Queen Bey recited excerpts of Shire’s works, launching the artist into the global spotlight:

“you can’t make homes out of human beings someone should have already told you that and if he wants to leave then let him leave”

Shire doesn’t just write about love, loss and infidelity. The poet also muses on many of the issues we cover on Goats and Soda: violence against women (“To my daughter I will say / 'when the men come, set yourself on fire’ ”), refugees (“You have to understand / that no one puts their children in a boat / unless the water is safer than land”), war and the African diaspora.

Read the full story here.

The New Yorker also had a nice profile of Shire – and her own music is on Bandcamp.
