Embarrassing. They're going to feel so stupid in 10 years when nobody's wearing dead salmon hats anymore.
Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years
Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

If you've recently started an account on Bluesky and you're looking to build a community here, I suggest making sure you've got your pfp and bio sorted out before following a bunch of people. A few posts in your timeline (including a basic intro post) will also help get the ball rolling.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check it out.
Want to echo that the All My Relations podcast as a must-listen for anyone interested in learning about contemporary Indigenous issues. Thanks so much, @NativeApprops and @matikawilbur, for raising our voices - and props to your sound engineers, well done....

BC’s new health minister @josieosborne.bsky.social faces huge challenges in preventing ER closures in rural communities and ensuring people have access to family doctors. Those who know her say she’s well-placed to take over the high-profile role from Adrian Dix. Here’s my story

When BC Ferries, Hydro, etc. make the full migration I'll likely move X off my phone. But there's just too much info from officials on X to justify a deletion.

Will eventually migrate some BC PolitiCAT stuff over here, if this platform takes off. But for now, here is the latest one.
(For those not familiar, I take BC political photos and add in cats, and raise money for charity through calendars)

I now have 10,000 followers here but over 5.9 million at the other place. If you want Me to switch for good I need you to get the word out that I'm here, pathetically desperate for worship (just like in real life), and filled with even more contempt for you here than I was there.

Gotta say, I joined Bluesky a while back and dabbled, then waffled between it and Threads.
The migration from The Bad Place to this place has been so heartening. So great to see so many old followers and friends.
Let's keep it awesome.
