And should we not thank the knife also?

i love love love how Project Hail Mary (the book at least the movie isn't out yet) handles Eva Stratt's morality. she wants to save the world and she will do whatever it takes...and the book does tackle how, if it's in the name of "the greater good", you can justify doing just about anything. Stratt did an absolutely terrible thing to Grace - but in the end, she was right. it saved the world. but also? Grace never forgives her! while it's pretty clear he wouldn't change anything in the end (it did save not just one but two worlds, and he met Rocky because of it), he never stops being pissed at her for what she did to him, and it's clear even she knows that she's crossing every ethical line there is. and even outside of Grace, this is a woman who nuked antarctica and wreaked havoc on the world's ecology - there are definitely people who died as a direct result of what she did. she knows that. but more people would've died if someone less ruthless, someone less pragmatic were in charge. and the fact that she fully accepts she'll probably be thrown in prison for every illegal and unethical action she took shows that she's not evil or heartless; she just won't let anything, including her own self-preservation, stop her from doing what she thinks will save the world.

groove billed anis are a hilarious cuckoo situation where they ended up laying their eggs in one another’s nests instead of anyone else’s. they hang out together in groups of up to five pairs until a nest gets built (sometimes by committee, sometimes they just hang around hopefully until someone does it all on their own) then they start sneaking over and laying an egg in at a time. the females who lay for the first time will sometimes flip prior eggs out of the nest like ‘oh i KNOW this one isn’t mine! away it goes’ but eventually everyone’s laid a couple eggs in there and is stuck with the mutual hostage situation. then they take turns incubating until all the kids hatch and everyone pitches in on feeding them, because no one knows which of the kids are theirs so they all might as well.

Also their eggs are incredibly beautiful. They’re a very pretty blue color, but covered by a white chalky outer layer that is easily scratched off, so they end up in various stages of in-between.
