Of course the Scots chose Haggis. Of course they did.

All knees must and shall be bitten

alisonborealis.bsky.social•114 days ago

Do they really think we don't have enough room in our hearts for two hippos???

clairewillett.bsky.social•114 days ago

they always say how hard it is to make strong female friendships in a really public zoo you know it’s such a cutthroat industry

Moo Deng a feminist role model? She literally just endorsed Donald Trump.

eleabrandt.bsky.social•113 days ago

That's a popular mistake. She ate him up. ☝️

tootru.bsky.social•113 days ago

i never thought i'd admit to loving Haggis...

seraphism.bsky.social•114 days ago

True, but Haggis! 🥺

Fickle much?

😝

hew.bsky.social•113 days ago

annaleehq.bsky.social•113 days ago

Fair point but the most likely interpretation is she symbolically ate his face

She’s team Harris like a good feminist hippo 🦛

🤣

All the love for BOTH Moo Deng AND Haggis!

In the inimitable words of Dessa "it's two-bit feminism only says you're better than some other bitch/who's digging the same ditch/one of us winning don't fix the damn system"

Bite them knees, gals.

I just don’t appreciate all the Fiona erasure that’s been going on these last few months she’s the real OG.

profphoebe.bsky.social•114 days ago

She will always be a star 🤩🤩🤩

alisonborealis.bsky.social•114 days ago

YES!

I miss Fiona!

We should get updates on all of them asap!
To soothe our hearts & minds!

erinbiba.bsky.social•114 days ago

Fiona is still a regular feature on the Cincinnati Zoo insta and she still sits in her signature pose, she’s just bigger now! 😂

perfect!

erinbiba.bsky.social•114 days ago

(That other hippo that swims up behind her is her little brother Fritz)

afthescientist.bsky.social•114 days ago

Fritz is as equally silly and adorable as Fiona.

ALL HIPPOS ARE BEAUTIFUL (and deadly).

I remember seeing a full grown non-pygmy hippo playing with one of those fitness balls like a dog with a chew toy. Hamming it up for the audience even!

It was both cute and absolutely terrifying.

nothingjerk.bsky.social•114 days ago

Love Fiona and Fitz!
There is room in my heart for all the hippos (figuratively, I hope)

gnnumbers.bsky.social•114 days ago

I just read the first Dungeon Crawler Carl book, which is dedicated to her!

there is room in my heart fur many hippopotamuses

Over the weekend the zoo posted a couple stories of Fiona being The Most Patient big sister while Fritz goofed around and it was too cute.

herculinds.bsky.social•114 days ago

Love Fiona! Cincy Shirts still has some great Fiona (and Fritz) merch https://cincyshirts.com/search?type=product&q=Fiona

pdavislibrarian.bsky.social•114 days ago

Fiona!

afthescientist.bsky.social•114 days ago

She made me fall in love with hippos, truly.

erinbiba.bsky.social•114 days ago

I got to see her!!! I annoyed my friends I was with cause I didn’t want to leave LOL

clairewillett.bsky.social•114 days ago

I support Fiona in all her endeavors!!!!!

artd.bsky.social•114 days ago

My wife got me a Cameo from Fiona for my 50th. It was awesome.

erinbiba.bsky.social•114 days ago

Oh my god

artd.bsky.social•114 days ago

this was 2020. It made up for missing her in 2018. In 2018 we flew to Cincinnati for a weekend to see her, but it was the last week in October and it ended up being too cold for the hippos to be outside.

clairewillett.bsky.social•114 days ago

oh my god?????????? okay now I literally want a hippopotamus for Christmas

artd.bsky.social•114 days ago

They sent a prerecorded video - Fiona is just too busy to do live calls
