@jbenjamint @http_error_418 @mossyfoot @thisisraerae I lived in New England for decades and have eaten every kind of clam chowder imaginable, and not a one ever contained mussels.
Where have you seen such an abomination?

Tidepools always make me think of "Pagoo" by Holling C. Holling. Not sure if I've ever seen a real tidepool in person.

@thisisraerae @lydiaschoch You are doing it right. Welcome. (There aren’t many ways to do it wrong)

@thisisraerae Where on the coast is this? I can recognize some places, but not this one.

ONBOARDING to Mastodon

For the many people who want to enjoy Mastodon but who get lost in the forest, this article:

- How entering Mastodon is very similar to entering a new country or city.
- A country where the rules and signs are different.
- A city where you do not know anybody.

See how exploring a new city translates into actions to become familiar with Mastodon.

There's a Clam Man video game - I got a copy in a Humble Bundle years ago.

Is it about you?
