Apparently growing up in the D.C. suburbs to parents from Massachusetts and Louisiana, followed by 4 years in western Massachusetts and 30 in Seattle makes me sound like...a Mainer.
Map from the MyDialect app. The red denoting speech that sounds most like me is heaviest in Maine, with fainter red around New England and San Francisco. The blue--speech that sounds least like me--is darkest in Texas, Oklahoma, and the deep South.

The head and paws of a gray tabby cat, sitting in the topmost nest of a cat tree. He is looking over the edge at something in the middle distance. His forepaws are white and holding onto the edge of the nest. Think Kilroy but a cat.

We too have definitely done many crimes, and she will let us know as soon as she decides what they are

Images of the Kalahari Desert online are often of the vast areas of bare red sand, but the part that I’ve visited twice now is a semiarid savanna with grass, brush, and even trees. For this visit, at the tail end of the rainy season, the Nyae Nyae was green and almost lush, with water in the pans.
A dirt road of pale reddish sand, rapidly narrowing from the viewer's perspective as it descends into a flat, open area and vanishes in the distance. To either side, the green of grass, brush, and low-growing trees. The sky above is blue with puffy individual clouds.

The last time I went to #Etosha, we saw one #elephant. Which was awesome and a little unnerving–that proximity to a being that can flatten your car tends to be–but a whole herd of elephants is something else again.

Speaking as someone brought up in the Church this meme continues to be painfully true
Text reading: Every lifelong Catholic I’ve ever met is like “I think we’re supposed to give this food to poor people” and every adult convert is like “the Archon of Constantinople’s epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the Eucharist clearly states women shouldn’t have driver’s licenses.”

Though I've occasionally seen raccoons do this, I'd never had this gait show up in tracks until I trailed one over an open landscape. Here, the canonical side-by-side of their extreme overstep walk morphs into...a lope! #trackinglife #OregonDunes #wildlifetracking
A trail of raccoon tracks across rippled sand. The tracks are in patterns of four: a front foot, another front with the opposite hind landing on top of it, and then a hind foot. This is characteristic of a lope or galloping pattern.

The #ShakespeareAdjacent #Kickstarter is nearing its final week! Peep the opening of my contribution in the replies:
An invitation to back the Kickstarter for the anthology Shakespeare Adjacent, with the book’s cover showing a portrait of William Shakespeare, sitting in front of a laptop and holding a smartphone. He has a pair of earbuds in and is wearing a digital watch. In the background are modern objects: a digital photo and an electric lamp.

The #Kickstarter for the anthology #ShakespeareAdjacent is over 1/3 funded! My story, "Bitter Waters; or, the Villain's Appointment" situates a beloved romantic comedy in a post-apocalyptic western. It's got #tracking and robot horses and wide open landscapes and I had a great time writing it.

As someone brought up Catholic he just exemplifies the other half of this meme all the time

Nice Odyssey reference, there, I think. (From The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman.)
A page with the following text: “Dinadan rode until finally he came to a land where the names Arthur and Camelot had no meaning at all and produced only puzzled looks, and there he rested from his travels. He didn’t know it, but by then he was the very last knight of the Round Table still alive. All the others were gone. And when at last his time came, too, he lay down on a hot dry hill in the shade of an ancient silvery-leafed olive tree, alone except for his horse, and a single tiny perching bird that almost seemed to glow from within, as if it had swallowed a star, though it could just as easily have been a trick of the light.”

Can confirm. (This is from a trip my husband and I took there in 2010.)
