For nearly the past 30 years I've been haunted by an—as far as I can tell—specific-to-me cryptid, and I figure since I'm new to bsky I've never told this story on this platform.

The first time I heard this term used was when I first worked in a hospital. The patient's daughter was flying in from California.
It took me a while to learn that the phrase was a shorthand code for staff to be alert for disagreements. Of course, not all out-of-state offspring cause problems...

Medical providers who work in hospital emergency departments, Intensive Care Units, Palliative Care, and hospice, sometimes use the term "daughter from California" to refer to a person who isn't up to date with their parent's medical wishes.
This can cause big problems. Let me help you sort it out.

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that
