https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoDj4mXdqmcquote:I don’t know how to express it but just the thought of some person, 120 years ago, taking a photo of their cat, which back then wasn’t easy - they didn’t have phones with cameras, each photo required a lot of time and dedication, so not only the person “wasted” a whole photo on their cat, they also did their fricking best to save this photo and carefully put it into an envelope to preserve it so that people in the future will know that there was this cat and it looked like this and it’s owner thought the cat looked lovely that day so much that they decided to take a photo of it and then they loved the photo so much that they went out of their way to preserve it for future generations like “hello people from the future! this is what my cat loos like!” because they loved their cat so much they wanted people from the future to know about it is… crazy to me… and here we are, 120 years later, long after the cat and it’s owners passed away, looking at an old photo of a cat and gushing about it. The cat died so long ago and wouldn’t even know it existed if not for the owner that loved their cat so much that they decided this photo was worth preserving and put it into a time capsule. and seeing now how people dedicate whole blogs to their cats and take countless pictures of them just to show to other people really hits because you realize that in the end, people from today aren’t that much different from people that were 120 years ago. We all just love our cats and want people to look at them.

Kestral posted:I'm sure wolves were domesticated independently many times in many places, but my personal theory on how it most often happened is exactly that: someone saw a wolf cub or a litter of them without parents, got hit by our powerful mammalian instinct to go "awwwww" at anything with an infant-like ratio of eyes-to-head and head-to-body, and suddenly they're raising furry babies. Not domesticated yet, not by a long shot, but as that adult goes out into the world and brings them the "technology" of "these specific humans will give you food," that becomes a competitive advantage. iirc there were some research saying domestication actually stuck only once -- there's a split between two kinds of wolves, and this second kind split again: dogs and a lineage that is now extinct. So maybe there was a group that was like "hell yeah humans are great" that made it, the ones that for sure weren't going for it made it, and the ones that weren't so sure didn't?

That’s fascinating, now I need to do more reading on this. Shows the value of specialization!

One of my local magpies' chicks had been missing since yesterday. Last night and this morning I heard an odd cawing that I couldn't locate, this morning I saw the father holding some food in his beak while looking down the exhaust vent from a local cafe's kitchen. I asked the cafe staff, they told me they heard a bird cry out when they turned on the range hood fans that morning, so they left the fans off and were trying to get a hold of their handyman to come and get it out, but he was unavailable. I phoned the fire brigade office to ask for advice, they sent a truck around right away, and some lovely firemen climbed up on the roof and opened the access panel to let the chick out. Poor little thing took off but was visibly shaken and tired and hungry. Freckles was very pleased to see her chick out and about but had to return to her nest to sit on her new clutch, I scattered some food for it and saw it eat some before I had to leave for an appointment.
