Different kinds of waves make different sounds when it comes to/kisses/crashes into the coast. In this chapter I'm working on, I'm trying to spell some of those sounds. (e.g Kshhh kshhh, mlp mlp, mshhhh mshhhh)
Will you help me brainstorm more? How would you spell your favorite wave sounds? 🌊💙

Around 150K voters have been weighing in daily, and as superfan @yourfriendnamee.bsky.social writes, this one’s a real claw-biter.

Fat Bear Week has arrived, featuring some of the biggest and brawniest bears of Brooks River. But longtime fans will note that there are several beloved bears missing from this year’s bracket.

With four Fat Bear Week titles and a Zen master approach, the bear had garnered plenty of fans since it was first sighted in 2001.

#FatBearWeek 32 Chunk is a familiar face on the fat bear circuit, but he has yet to do a victory lap. Character sketch aside, this boar is borderline bursting. Chunk the Hunk, we call him. Even standing, his belly almost kisses the ground.

#FatBearWeek Look, 901 is an actual boat. She’s so wide, I don’t know how she turns a corner. She is the Michelin man in a bear suit. She is a runaway parade blimp. What we love about 901 is that she has always had her priorities straight - eat, mate, and sleep - and she’s a very focused gorl.

One of my favorite poems since childhood, and a poem I share every #autumnequinox.
By the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands.
Poetry, then, is that which is left unsaid.
“My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”
