You ever think about how crows are acting not unlike how early humans probably did and you’re just like. Oh ok

I saw a Thing one time about how the earliest sign of civilization is a healed femur because that shows that we were taking care of each other because if we Didn’t a broken leg would mean you Die because you can’t. Do things

And I was thinking about this and I remembered also seeing an article about this one mated pair of crows where one of them broke its beak and thus couldn’t properly feed itself on its own. So the other one helps

So basically I have connected the two dots (“you didn’t connect shit”) I’ve connected them

And also they not only use tools but teach each other how to construct them, so uh

Really makes you think

Realistically I know immortality would kinda suck but I’d love to see where crows are going with this

Fun fact, there is little info on crows (as far as species of interest go) because they’re so good at evading human tactics for collection and observation. I had a friend who studied them in grad school. Not only do they describe humans to each other (so crows you’ve never seen before will avoid you), they also learn the precise distance of net cannons (for trapping and tagging) after 1 encounter and then stand at that distance the entire time (making naive researchers think maybe they can juuuust caych em). So basically you need to befriend them (a common strategy), or find a murder that’s never seen you before (researchers wear presidents masks to throw them off, but then they remember and describe the cars). In this case, you have one chance to collect enough in the group to get good data. Whatever crow you catch once, you probably will never catch again, ruling out biosensing devices (like they use with other birds and turtles n junk).

The latest big finding about crows is that they have a grasp of knowledge breadth, meaning they “know what they know” meaning they are conscious (self aware), have subjective experiences and can reflect on their knowledge. (Source) This also implies they have an understanding of the unknown.

Look up Andreas Nieder and Jon Marzluff’s work if you want the deep skinny.

Heyyyy, look! Home for Christmas, aka the second of my three Christmas fics just reached 10,000 hits!! This is a slow burn involving boeuf bourguignon and a mutual love for glasses, hahaha! Thanks for giving this one a read if you did! And if you didn’t, cold weather just hit the Canadian prairies, so the Christmas spirit might be following close behind! :P

John Watson loves tea so much that he can’t take his eyes off it.

Priorities, sorted.

I actually laugh like a lunatic every time I see this.

This will forever be my favorite thing.

You could pour that tea a bit faster, Mycroft.

Hurry up now with that tea, Mycroft.

Sherlock you’re stealing all the attention away from the tea.

I really want that tea.

my url can confirm this

This will never get old.
