and they told this story about an octopus attacking a seagull. A man nearby rescued the gull. .Frances did NOT like the octopus, in fact she said "Octupus is an asshole" The conversation went from the octopus being a bully to speculation that gulls had attacked the octopus's family so the octopus was fighting back

Frances went from dissing the octopus to totally sympathetic...she says I started out hating the octupus and now the octopus is an activist!

I love those two crazy ladies

"My Octopus Teacher" on Netflix. I got hooked. It was such a fascinating & extremely emotionally documentary, at least for me.

Here's the official Trailer....

Especially those we have little understanding of - we shouldn't.

We know not that we know not.
