A fun fact about me is that no matter how hard I try, I will NEVER remember which one is a common dolphin and which is a white-sided dolphin

y'all, we had the friendliest humpback whale! they approached our boat & got right in our faces! they had a little solitary barnacle on their dorsal fin 🥺 I've been getting great looks at whale barnacles, including the stalked barnacles parasitizing the whale barnacles & I couldn't be happier 🌊🌿🦑🧪📸

I smell burnt toast, which as we all know, means I'm having a stroke. It was nice being here while I lasted. #Canadian

Haha yeah the reason my skin is pink and so is my acne is actually because I'm going to the Barbie movie
A white woman is posing for a selfie, smiling at the camera. She is wearing a pink shirt, pink lipstick, and pink eyeshadow. She also has faint but visible acne and redness to her face and hasn't covered it with makeup.

NEW WHALE (perucetus)
drawing of three perucetus, a newly-named extinct whale with tiny rear flippers. the drawing has two larger perucetus swimming above and below a much smaller calf. they are colored in pastel blue and lavender and have small freckles similar to a spotted dolphin

We were standing near a trash can at a concert (5/5 entertainment value, highly recommend this placement) and a man with a media pass walked into the side of it while brandishing the pass like he fully expected it would make the garbage can move.

And later he did it AGAIN, from the other side!!

New Eocene whale from Peru might have been the largest vertebrate ever. Ridiculous pachyostotic vertebrae in this beast.

What!!!! The heck!!!!!!!
A very close photo of a fluffy grey cat with green eyes, so zoomed in that it's just her face and a little bit of fluffy neck. She looks very regal but is not thinking about anything at all.

So @homarushannah.bsky.social is here and we spent the weekend doing normal friends things like taking turns pointing at animals to each other
A rainy day on a boat on a very calm, foggy ocean, a white woman in a black rain coat is standing at the railing pointing at a puffin taking off of the water in the distance Another person entirely covered in rain gear without their face visible is pointing out into the water where a humpback whale is visible just below the surface.

The DW from Arthur meme. The top panel has a sign to which the following text has been added: "Stop petting the cat, you are so allergic to her". The bottom panel shows DW standing in front of the sign with the caption, "That sign won't stop me, because I can't read!"
