hey um. your boyfriend turned into the thing he swore he’d destroy. yeah. no he didnt make it. sorry
what does your bio mean? "the sea was never blue" ?
Homer used two adjectives to describe aspects of the colour blue: kuaneos, to denote a dark shade of blue merging into black; and glaukos, to describe a sort of ‘blue-grey’, notably used in Athena’s epithet glaukopis, her ‘grey-gleaming eyes’. He describes the sky as big, starry, or of iron or bronze (because of its solid fixity). The tints of a rough sea range from ‘whitish’ (polios) and ‘blue-grey’ (glaukos) to deep blue and almost black (kuaneos, melas). The sea in its calm expanse is said to be ‘pansy-like’ (ioeides), ‘wine-like’ (oinops), or purple (porphureos). But whether sea or sky, it is never just ‘blue’. In fact, within the entirety of ancient Greek literature you cannot find a single pure blue sea or sky.

What, from a cursory glance, appears blue generally has more to say. You lift a precious stone to the sunlight and it lights up, it refracts, but there’s always a side you can’t see. If you think you’ve thought of it all, think a little longer. There’s always more to consider.
your girlfriend told me that she thinks my takes are way more nuanced than yours. yeah she thinks you can’t get past surface level interpretations and she’s leaving you for my analysis. sorry

Coyote fact ? Coyote facts ? A crumb ? Plwease ? Coyote ?
coyotes are naturally social animals, but their pack structure is a LOT looser than wolf packs are and so it's not at all unusual to see a coyote living and hunting alone!
but what IS unusual is that these lone coyotes will sometimes partner up with other animals for hunts who are... definitely not coyotes.
not even canines, in fact!
yeah that's right, sometimes a coyote will straight up find a fucking american badger and decide, HEYYO, it's the Burt to my Ernie! the Frog to my Toad! the Jelly to my crunchy-style Peanut Butter! let's go kill something together, new best friend.
and then they do.
the way it works is that the odd couple will find a group of burrowing prey animals, like ground squirrels or prairie dogs, and start digging them out of their holes.
the prey is confounded- if they break out of their holes and flee, the coyote will use its superior speed to run them down, but if they stay put, the badger is just going to pry them up out of the damp earth and eat them anyway!
WHAT'S A POOR GROUND SQUIRREL TO DO.
nothing. they just get eaten. badger/coyote duos are FAR more effective hunters than either animal could hope to be on its own.
