Some people: “If elder gods existed, they wouldn’t care about us; they would see the same way we see insects.” Meanwhile, these guys, seeing an insect-
We assume that if the Elder-Gods do exist, they would not sympathies with our lives, that they don’t care about our struggles and our strives to live. But I posit that all life struggles, even the Gods. And while they struggle with things that we could hardly begin to comprehend, that same way a worm could not comprehend the complex melancholics and pains of a Human, they look down on us, and recognize a thing within themselves. A will to strive, a drive to reach across the gap between planks. And they do indeed cheer for us, just as we cheer for a worm, cause if they can make it, then we can make it, and so can we all make it across the gap.

A ripe berry need only be negotiated with, not fought

An amazing recent fossil discovery: a whole school of fish! A single slab of limestone from the Green River Formation in North America contained 259 fish of the extinct Erismatopterus levatus species. They lived between 56 to 34 million years ago.
The discovery is exciting because it is a rare case of fossils demonstrating behavior – in this case, that fish have gathered into shoals for millions of years.
