I put together this video for #AnotherPlanet by #TheCreatures (#SiouxsieSioux & #Budgie) years ago. It's a bit disjointed and doesn't synch up with the music, but I sortakinda like it that way. Maybe some day I'll fix it up, but for now...

"I'm here
On another planet
How's it with you
On your planet
All was surreal
On this planet
It felt so regal - it was so romantic
Now it's all changed
And the plot's unfolding
Another fairy tale
With a twisted end

They're coming out the walls
They're seeping in
There's armies of them crawling
They're coming in

Satellite above
Looks down unblinking
Satellite of thought
Unthinking

They're coming out the walls
They're seeping in
Three odd eyed tentacles
Speak in forked tongues
Sprouting all over me
And blossoming
I'm breaking out the walls
I'm coming in

I'm here
On another planet
How's it with you
On your planet

Satellite above
Looks down unblinking
Satellite of thought
Unthinking"

Why Alien Life Would be our Doom - The Great Filter

A recent discussion here on Mastodon involved what kind of shape life might take if there were a "re-boot". I think this is one of the forms that will keep happening as long as there's life. Also, perhaps this is what could evolve on another planet.

Animals Keep Evolving Into #Crabs, and Scientists Don't Know Why

"It's true: Crabs keep turning up in nature, and it's bothering scientists so much that they've been given federal grants to get to the bottom of it.

"The phenomenon is so widely known that it's been given a name — #carcinization, a term that's been in use for over 140 years. Through this process, crabs, the beach critters we all know and love, have evolved at least five times from separate groups of crustaceans, Newsweek has been told.

"Not all the species to have undergone carcinization have become crabs in the technical sense. Some have merely become crab-like, adopting their shape and form. Carcinized species can be divided into two main groups: Brachyura, which are true crabs, and Anomura, or false crabs."
