Welcome to Litsy!

Fantastic book that catches the right balance between scientific and cultural insight. Wallen also avoids sensationalism while retaining a strong sense of the otherness and nonhuman squididity of these fascinating cephalopods 🦑
As with all the Reaktion Animal Series, it's lavishly illustrated, with excellent notes, references and index, and printed on high quality paper. A real pleasure to read 😊

"As the last two centuries have given us the modern world of clear facts and useful knowledge, a vague anxiety exists as a possibility we cannot laugh away. And that possibility is that somewhere in the deepest, darkest, coldest waters something large and predatory is waiting to make itself known."

I managed to catch it on the nose! There‘s something so satisfying about that.

Thanks to all you Littens who make this the best place on the internet, my haven when other social media feels so bleak and miserable. I‘ve been happy to be here the better part of the past decade.

4.5⭐️ I really enjoyed the book. #2025 #bookclub #nonfiction #memior #autobiography #animals

I'm finally getting round to reading this book, which Father Squidmas left for me last year! 🦑🎄🦑

Not new, but new to me.
“With all of my heart, I believe it is true that there is a heaven for animals too.”
“You‘ll grow older, I will, too. But when you meet your friends again, they‘ll see you as they saw you then.
And you‘ll find they always knew how much they were loved…and how much they loved you.”
(I really hope so.)

I saw this picture of this animal on Facebook and wrote a #haiku about it.

A Lego shop opened in Hobart and they built this wildlife carer with Tassie devils

I saw this picture of Bears on Facebook and wanted to share a personal story about what happened in my life. It didn‘t happen recently. It‘s been awhile since it happened.
