I grew up in VA where Norfolk is pronounced Nor-fuk.

Down in NE, Norfolk is pronounced Nor-fork.

Our capital, Pierre.

And also the town of Lead.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Oh thank god

Leah from South Dakota @leahfromsd.bsky.social · 18h

So glad to head home tomorrow, but also going to miss the daily bubble baths I've been enjoying each morning at the hotel😅

Leah from South Dakota @leahfromsd.bsky.social · 19h

I've been fortunate to cross paths with equally-driven people who've been prepared to say "we're not waiting for permission, we're doing this!"

Honestly a little scared of tackling another feature, but also super excited.

Was getting an application submitted this morning, and darn if I don't have some pretty cool IMDb credits under my belt!

Adding a new one in 2026 👀
