Just too lazy to invent a brilliant title

I want whatever it is that these two have

That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. I’d thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They can’t even interbreed. They don’t have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.

The problem is perspective. People always think dogs are the ‘standard’ animal, the metric to use for whether or not two organisms “look like” they’re related. When in fact they’re a massive outlier due to the fact that we fucked up this lineage of wolf beyond recognition with selective breeding. It’s why people always say “breed” when they mean “species”, especially when talking about groups like lizards which can’t even be defined cladistically since some of them are closer to snakes than each other. To say nothing of fish.

Not only that, but all of us air-breathing land vertebrates, all the lizards and chickens and people and frogs, are closer to one another than those three “fish” are to one another as well.

COOL.

Aw, yeah, that’s the good shit.

I love when people credit artists. This is French circus artist and choreographer Yoann Bourgeois, probably in Tentatives d'approche d'un point de suspension at hangar Y in Meudon a few days ago. Most of his work is an exploration of balance and equilibrium, he has several variations around the stairs/trampoline thing (fugue-trampoline, this one, cavale, l'art de la fugue…)

well if that isn’t a metaphor for life

Only acceptable use of the phrase
