Years back, the article I read by a zoologist admitting that obviously homosexual activities like male dolphins twining penises together had been 'explained away for decades' and it was time to accept it was a part of nature... I wish I could remember where I read it.
So many animals exhibit homosexual activity on a consistent basis either their whole lives or a significant amount of the time, & for years scientists were like "No no, dolphins frotting or bucks buttfucking each other is about...dominance & territory, that's it, it's not like they *enjoy* it!"
Great article. I noticed a typo you may wish to correct: the word “are” in place of “our”. Took me a bit to parse that sentence 😅
Thanks for the interesting and amusing article.
I’d like to see the Pixar take on a teen Ceratioid anglerfish’s coming of age. There would have to be some sort of “when you finally find love, you just gotta’ hold on forever” musical number.
Me: Every story written in the west is a metaphor for Oedipus Rex because we all fantasize about drilling a strange woman we don’t realize is our mom and then killing the asshole standing between us cuz he was a shitty dad anyway
My therapist: I’m not sure ketamine therapy is for you
My students know the story of me watching Nemo again after having my first child and, though it never bothered me before, the abduction scene making me openly weep. They like to bring it up from time to time. You know, like this morning...
