Congratulations to @bsky.app, which just passed the six million users mark. That's roughly the size of the population of the great state of Maryland. Please have some cake (crab OR Smith Island, or both!) to celebrate!

I don't live there, but I just like having an excuse to post this meme.

The flashbacks to my last time in the car are also too real. Hehe. Turn signal lights never need replacing in MANY cars here, too.

I will personally deliver @pfrazee.com and @jay.bsky.team a Smith Island Cake the next time they come to the MD Eastern Shore.

I will simply have a shot glass of old bay

Ah! My home state has been mentioned! Tradition demands that I now post my favorite animated MD flag gif, but I am afraid I can't do that yet. I'll have to settle for one from the archive.

Wait a minute, Herr’s also does old bay flavored chips? Huh

Utz does “Chesapeake Bay Flavor” (similar to but not Old Bay, in other words). I like Utz chips in general and I like the crab chips. I’ve never been a fan of Herr’s chips but I guess they have the licensing from Old Bay/McCormick.

Yep but also “wait, made in Hanover PA?!”

South Central PA is in many ways a part of the greater Baltimore area

Also, we have the best flag.

I do have a stout in the fridge that pays homage to the smith island cake. Figure that'll do in a pinch?

Crab cake burrito?

You didn't say Blue Crab, John. Are you even talking about Maryland?

Babycrab is gonna be thrilled when I tell him! (He will probably just want a pack of Bluey gummies and permission to run around outside.)

The Ledo’s Pizza proves this was made by a true Marylander

Congratulations! @bsky.app team! I feel like it was just yesterday we were at 2M.

Don't really have any near me, so no. Seems to be more of a shore thing to me?

As a Marylander I'm proud of them as well.

Bluesky is kind of like Brother laser printers. It wins not because it does anything especially well, but because all of its obvious competitors have trodden on their collective cranks in spectacularly avoidable ways right out of the gate.

My family is all from Maryland and I can scold you for suggesting that anyone eat any crab from anywhere other than Maryland, but I have never heard of Smith Island Cake until now!

that flag looks like the entire state got together and collectively said "our nephews can do graphic design, why would we hire a flag designer" and then had like 5000 nephews collaborate on the design

No no, even better: heraldry

You can order Smith Island cakes, if anyone is curious. And now you know they name for a cake with too many layers to count.
