This is fascinating, but can you quickly explain the title you gave this? @fossilesque@mander.xyz

It’s crazy poetic and I’m wondering if you’re referencing anything?

It's a possible Pleistocene adaptation iirc + https://www.americanforests.org/article/the-trees-that-miss-the-mammoths/ Lots of implications for why it tried to crawl up a tree and get animals to fuck off.
