When an eel has a maw
with a pharyngeal jaw,
that’s a moray.

When the jaws open wide
and there’s more jaws inside,
that’s a moray.

When it skulks in a reef
and has two sets of teeth,
that’s a moray.

When an eel bites your thigh
and you bleed out and die
that’s a moray.

I meant to be finishing a post about books I'm reading but I got distracted and wrote ~2500 words about Mastodon and Bluesky and the related things (welcoming design, insular culture) I've been stewing on for a few months

And also about vegetarian meat substitutes in the 1980s, which were *really something*
