In other news my mom is a seagull egg for Halloween
This has reached a wider audience than I expected so I feel I should share *why* she’s a seagull egg 
We’re Iñupiaq from Arctic Alaska. In the spring we gather eggs as part of our subsistence harvest (always sure to leave one in the nest if we are successful.)
This is a welcome change in our diet after a long cold winter, something that we look forward to each year. Practices like these are important to our livelihood and spirit as Iñuit*
*This is complex & I won’t dig deeper in this thread, but bottom line is that seagull eggs make a lot of people in the Arctic very happy & I’m glad this made many of you smile, too.
For those interested about learning why subsistence harvests are important for us, here’s a resource from ICC Alaska: https://iccalaska.org/wp-icc/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Food-Security-Summary-and-Recommendations-Report.pdf
