The way they strut, I think they already know they’re smarter than us. They’re dinosaurs.

For you? I could do both.

Five or six for a giant squid. But I can't blame them for staying low and not dealing with our nonsense.

It was a long way to say that our species is in no way an optimal form, that increased awareness does not require a body like ours, and involved a lot of speculative cuttlefish communication via gesture and colors, structures corvids might build, what a global ant society could look like, and so on.

This post brought to you by Hobbes pressing his paw on me and going “Mrrra. Rrr. Mmmmmra!” Because breakfast time.

Unfortunately, even these big three flags never managed to break even on the first run and the setup fees are high for each design, so I'm not planning any of the other flags in this form. I hope you enjoy these ones though! canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4346...

Noting “Call of the Void” as the vibe I want to cultivate.

Bacteriophages have sheaths and spikes, what’s not to like?

Thank you. I have fond memories of her. And in many ways, my cat Strata could be her sister. Strata reminds me a lot of Margarita in how she acts.

Margarita was a very beloved cat of mine. She was very sweet and very sassy, with such a big personality even internet friends knew her.

I did not know this! Thank you. I’m equally charmed you remember her.

You might find something important in it, too.

I was camping at Mammoth. Elk wandered by to browse in the evening. I’d brought a waist-high stack of books and read for hours and hours.

I finished the book and when my partner asked how it was, I came out to her. She ignored the fact, but I got here anyway. And that’s why it’s still a good night.
