The way people demonize seagulls is actually unreal. Almost all of their natural habitat has been destroyed (almost all coastal areas have been developed, destroying natural sand dune ecosystems) and they're doing their best to adapt. They're literally just trying to survive. You're in their home. The vitriol some people have for these gorgeous sea birds just because they're not shy about snatching food if you're not cautious is insane

Seagulls live in post-apocalyptic scarcity, where all their natural habitats and food sources have been decimated by humans. The fact that they get all Beyond Thunderdome when we eat food at them is very much our fault.

Common Raven (Corvus corax) teasing a gull (Larus spp) - series by Sandra Gilchrist

According to the photographer, the raven eventually left and the gull seemed no worse for wear after the interaction.

with The Odyssey movie coming up, it's got me thinking about back in grade school when my English teacher told everyone in the class to each do a report on the 'original' (translated) version

but only a single chapter of it, chosen at random.

I'd gotten Chapter 18, which meant that my report ended up being the story of Odysseus, disguised as an old man, running into a random beggar that's worried his best begging spot is gonna get taken. Odysseus gets challenged to a fight, he starts stripping, and his old man bod is so shredded that the beggar guy immediately tries to surrender. Everyone around forces them to fight still, then the beggar guy (still terrified) gets his jaw instantly shattered, and the rest of the story presumably continues after that.

I still have no idea what lesson my teacher was trying to teach, though it did drive me to go back and read the whole thing from the beginning.

yknow, like how books usually do.
