    Koan ninety-seven: “Do unto otters as you would have them do unto you.” Hmm. No real help there. Besides, he’d occasionally been unsure that he’d written that one down properly, although it certain had worked. He’d always left aquatic mammals well alone, and they had done the same to him.

      Do unto Otters as you would have Otters do to you is like biblical man, didn’t Jesus have a thing with giving fish? I don’t know why he had to ruin the bread to do it but whatever.

    I actually think about otters fairly regularly. Love the videos of the Giant Amazon Otters. They are apex predators, killing Caiman, scrapping with and chasing off jaguars.

      When you wrote “killing Caiman”, my head autocorrected to “killing Gaiman”, and I just imagined Neil Gaiman unsuccessfully fighting off wave after wave of otters aided by his evil army of jaguars.

    Is it just me or has autocorrect just gotten worse lately? Like I never used to have issues with touch typing, but now it’s decided that ‘and’ is now ‘snd’ and ‘you’ is now ‘yoy’, among many, many other examples I’m to tired to mention rn.
