We - for example - are a natural resources agency. We’re also often talking about different things. When asked how the DNR tweets are different from what the Oklahoma Department Of Wildlife Conservation and National Park Service posts, Rachel said that they all are actually forming a new tweet style, 'There’s definitely a certain 'Twitter style' of humor that government agencies have started picking up on because, at the end of the day, we’re all trying to educate folks and we know the best way to do that is to draw them in with something entertaining or funny.'Īnd the thing that makes DNR different is that they have their own way of delivery, 'some of us are deadpan, some of us are unhinged, some of us are punny. I think that humor is a really great, subtle way to remind people of the important messages that we need to tell.” Like if you see a funny post about recreation and then you’re hiking, and you pass a bag of dog poop on the trail, you might think of that funny post that we made about the starving trash cans and pick it up.

With a tracker in your collar so this doesn’t happen again.Mary adds that “humor really sticks with people. You get a smidgen more exploring time before you’re captured again and taken to your crew and back to the boat, but at this point no one is happy including you, because no one pet you the Whole Time you were off adventuring and that’s a damn travesty.Īnd not only that, when you get back to the ship, you’re locked up tight in the aft cabin because no one trusts you anymore not to wander off and break into government facilities when they’re not looking, and then when the boat gets back to her homeport in Aberdeen, they do you just the WORST injustice and lock you inside there! For the whole winter! And then the following summer, because you are now a Criminal and Criminals don’t sail.Įxcept this season, you made Big Pouty Eyes at everyone, and they caved and let you back on, so you are a very happy kitty now. So you clawed the Marine holding you and escaped. Except by the time a viable crewmember is chosen and calls back to confirm, you’ve gotten bored and decided you want to leave. So the captain does just that, playing telephone while trying to find someone to go pick you up. Let me get in contact with the crew to send someone.” “Considering I’m on the other side of the country, no. They call the number on your collar, which goes to the captain of Lady at the time, who… is on leave. Of course, wandering kitties without the proper credentials aren’t allowed on high security Naval bases, so when the Marines inevitably capture you and ask you where your people are and what you’re doing here and how you got here, you just curl up cutely and bat your eyes and meow the most pitiful meow because these new people are paying attention to you but not the Right attention, no one’s even petting you! In addition to the marina, the waterfront, and all manner of other delights, the Port of Everett also has a Naval base, so you decide to check it out! See what all the fuss is about. No, they’re not paying attention to you Right This Instant, so you decide you want to take a little jaunt off the ship and explore on your own. Lady is docked in the Port of Everett, and no one is paying attention to you- never mind the fact that they’re doing their jobs and getting money so they can keep pampering you. It is the summer of 2021, you are about a year old, and full of Mischief. You are Marlin, ship’s cat and mascot of the tallship Lady Washington.
