chainsaw is a male bigg's orca. he was born in 1978 and is ~47 years old. he travels with an older female, whidbey II, who is likely his mother, or potentially sister. chainsaw and whidbey II frequently travel with whidbey II's daughter's matriline, the T065Bs.
chainsaw is a very recognizable and iconic orca, due to his unique dorsal fin that has two gaps in it, likely due to an incident(s) in his youth.
the avatar movies are crazy bc "what if colonizers literally inhabited and puppeteered the bodies of indigenous peoples in order to exploit their homeland" sounds like the premise of some sort of anticolonial horror film, like specifically the kind of thing that would be commenting on self-indigenization among white settlers, but because it's James Cameron his whole takeaway from that premise is "it would be preddy cool"
actually sorry. the takeaway is also "the white settler possessing an indigenous body would actually be extremely good, perhaps even The Best, at being indigenous, and he would become their Leader"
you work with or go to school with people who are actively in mania and/or psychosis. you just don't realize this.
"the only interactions I've had with manic/psychotic people have been violent" do you live under a rock? do you emerge from your house only once every 3 years? we are everywhere, you just don't realize it.
an estimated 1.1% of the population is schizophrenic. an estimated 2.8% of the population is bipolar. those are not the only conditions that cause psychosis.
writing tip: searching "[place of origin]ish names" will get you a lot of stuff and nonsense made up by baby bloggers.
searching "[place] census [year]" will get you lists of real names of real people who lived in that place.
I feel like I'm constantly shilling for them but BehindTheName.com, the only baby name site that doesn't feel like it's run by mommy bloggers, includes census-based graphs for dozens of countries/regions (though not all of them go back very far yet)
And you can expand them to see rank, number of babies, and percentage of babies and add a second name to compare. (in 1973 four percent of babies were named Jennifer! 1 in 25!!!)
Also this. Cursed.
Why hasn’t this been done before?
You know why.
Cause racial health disparities…

Hey, if anyone’s curious, this IS making a serious impact — this handbook was taught as standard practice for my EMT license course, as well as several other programs. A lot of new providers are being taught this as a matter of course.
