Loved this! Can’t believe you ran into one of the Bettys.

Also I can co-sign that lesbians love whales - I am also a lesbian who loves whales. (I have multiple non-fiction books about whales, it’s true.)

My fave whale book is Fathoms: The World in the Whale by Rebecca Giggs. It’s a really cool mix of philosophy/science. How To Speak Whale also has some cool stuff about whale songs.
