I'd like to follow more people on dreamwidth. I'm taking any suggestions for cool people, but I'd especially like the following:

- people who make things (artists, writers, craftspersons, etc.)

- people who repair/restore things

- people who like to talk about living things (gardening, biology, Cool Bugs, etc), especially marine and estuarine life/wetlands

- anyone who's really passionate about and constantly getting into the granular details of some relatively obscure subject

- queer/disabled/generally left radical "fuck all of this shit" type political commentary and analysis, especially but not exclusively US

- cool monsters

- fandoms: murderbot diaries, Ursula Vernon/Kingfisher short stories and novels, the Imperial Radch trilogy, Terry Pratchett/Discworld, Ursula K. LeGuin, Pokemon, Splatoon, The Liar Princess And The Blind Prince
 

Unicorns are very clearly herd-animal-type ungulates, but usually depicted as solitary. They are also famously elusive and easy to lose track of despite being stark white. I propose that unicorns are herd animals, and the majority are not pure white; rather, albinism and leucicism occur in unicorns as in everything else, and only these unicorns ever get spotted because a properly camouflaged unicorn is even more impossible to spot and track.

This goes slightly against the "unicorns are a type of monster and should be treated as such, dammit" reasoning I usually prefer, since it assumes unicorns are prey animals that make biological sense, but I like the idea that for every unicorn you actually see there are two to eight nearby that you miss entirely.
