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.
Julia, Clover, Agnes -- thank you! This was such a great read. Also, woah gaining “a regular masseuse, a consistent yoga class, and a billiards mentor” 🤩 Now that’s the dream!
I went to Ptown regularly as a kid when my mom was dating a guy from cape cod - but since they split when I was 19 I haven’t been. I know exactly that taffy shop!!!
love this!! always hoping to get to p-town one day. this did unlock the memory of when i would go to family UU summer camp bc there certainly was an ongoing drum circle 24/7 and it ruled.
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.)
Haha ok yes I love it. large, musical, matriarchal, ancient, what’s not to love?! Recs for whale books/media are very welcome if you have any favs ;)
