Hi, my friend, comedian and creator of this meme passed away. To honor her memory, if you ever share this goofy ass meme, please credit Tiana Miller, most people never did. Pour one out for a legendary shitposter, people 🌈
Meme of Jesus labeled “emo bands” with beams of energy labeled “lyrics about how hard life is” hitting a person praying labeled “13 year olds on vacation with their parents”

The problem with climate change is we have to convince a bunch of people that future people are actual people, when they don't even believe some currently alive people are people.

Nearly 80% of early films created at the beginning of the 20thc were made in colour and one of the first careers in film production for artistic women was hand painting in film-colouring workshops #WomensArt

Image text: Mom and I walking past a woman in a shirt that says "Feminist AF" Mom: I didn't realize they have an air force. Me: Yes, yes they do. Mom (to woman): Thank you for your service. Woman: You're welcome. Meme image is what looks like probably a 19th century painting of two women, perhaps a mother and adult daughter, in expensive looking winter coats and carefully styled hair

Alt-text: A vintage-style black-and-white illustration of Victorian children gathered beneath a decorated Christmas tree—except one child has just unboxed a massive longsword. The kid stands triumphantly, holding the blade aloft like they’ve been chosen by destiny, while the others look on with varying degrees of awe, confusion, and polite Victorian alarm. The only color in the image comes from the Christmas tree’s red and green ornaments and the caption printed above: “Oh HELL yes.” The whole scene blends wholesome holiday nostalgia with chaotic meme energy. Generated with Bluesky AltText, a CustomGPT.
