We dropped it. We’re pretending it’s casual. You’ll remember it anyway. That’s the ButNotReally way—where every piece plays with expectation, and nothing is ever quite what it seems. #atmos #atmoskl #butnotreally

The difference of us makes us one... I guess? 🤣 More dancing content next? @spectrum.racingteam #karting #karters #butnotreally

🦈 ~°•⚠️•°~ 🔉 Sound On 🔊 🐬🖤 I wanted to post this to share a side of the orca they may not show during #SharkWeek. 1st: I know some think it's too sad that orca "attack" and kill sharks. It's EATING not ATTACKING. It may not be pretty, they don't have hands, and such. 2nd: "But orca attack the shark's liver and tears it out." I'm certain that if you eat meat you also have your favorite cut of it. You don't eat the whole cow for dinner. The dead shark's carcass will also feed MANY organisms and fish in the ocean down to the sea floor. 3rd: All species have been "attacked" by sharks and eaten. Orca are some of the animals sharks go for. One orca feeds MANY. Orca have evolved in their behavior to protect themselves. They are highly intelligent. What they have learned is being taught to their offspring. They are highly evolved. 4th: You don't have to buy a ticket to witness orca do magnificent jumps and other magnificent things at a horrible sea park! They do not belong in captivity at all. EVER! ✨️ Do buy a ticket for the whale watch boats. You won't be disappointed 😊💙🩵 5th: Orca hunt mostly with their pod or some of the pod. They all have to eat. Their name "Killer Whale" was a misinterpretation. They were called Whale Killers in Athabaskan language. They are actually in the dolphin family. They are the largest dolphins. They are nicknamed "Danger Dolphins" Sharks are solitary hunters almost exclusively. And they don't have a family to feed. #orca #whalekiller #sharkassassin #butnotreally #protectwhatyoulove #sharks #iloveorca #ilovesharks #hum⚡mermaid #707🍀 #dangerdolphins #apexpredator #epsteinfiles #releasethem ~•🖤🤍🖤•~
