I was trying to photograph this beautiful glaucous-winged gull when I got unexpectedly photobombed by a harbor seal that had caught a very large fish--presumably a salmon. 🪶

Another reason the network analyzer may be useful to run is that I suspect a lot of people here are blocking each other without knowing it, via blocklists they've subscribed to. This will reveal some of those gaps.
This will amusingly tell you that you forgot to follow yourself, and also reveal who's blocking you :) But it's super useful as a source of people to follow — and if you select "sort by proportion," it has less seniority bias than starter packs do.
I forgot from whom in my feed I got this from, but anyway, this network analyzer is crazy efficient. It gives you ideas for accounts to follow based on your own followees. I just added 50 accounts or so.
