This book rec was inspired by sofe’s lil squid story. This book is about the evolution of sentient life; with a heavy emphasis on cephalopods, as their evolutionary tree branched off from our common ancestors so long ago. Octopuses have been my fav animal for ages but I hadn’t realised how cool squid are too! And cuttlefish fish! He describes the process by which they change colour and it blew my mind, they essentially have biological pixels, for cuttlefish anyway, they have two different kinds of pixel-like cells/muscles that control two different colour spectrums. It’s a really brilliant book, and for those who are put off by too sciency books (myself included tbh), this book is a philosophy/science hybrid!

last year of elementary school, my teacher gave us a list of books and we had to choose one to present it to the class after holidays. i was the only one who chose The Martian Chronicles - because my dad transmitted his ufo hyperfixation to me (he saw one when he was young and that really stuck with him) - first literature emotion of my life, i’ll never forget how the way i saw the world changed afterwards

Frighteningly relatable at times. Harrowing at others. What a read! And I'm not even finished :o

I can’t pronounce a single track off this Japanese jazz fusion album, but it’s something I’ve been enjoying listening to lately.

After gradually getting used to them over time, they are easily the most comfortable walking shoes I have. If my day calls for a lot of walking, these are my go to.
