I tend to stick with defaults, but yours looks awesome

I thought I caught this! Sometimes I do the same thing with my writing when my frustration bubbles over, but yours seems easier to erase when you're ready to get back to it.

I'm officially one of the judges for this event. I'm so delighted I could squeak! EE!

judge me on (some of) my favourite wild animals
A timber wolf lounging in snow while facing the camera without directly looking into it. The wolf's fur is shades of brown and black blending and mixed acroas its coat. A fruit bat mid-flight toward the camera with a blacked-out background. it has a brown body and black wings. A great white shark is swimming toward the camera. its back is dappled with light from the near surface, but the shark is fully submerged with a pristine blue background. A white bengal tiger is facing a camera while standing in a preserve habitat. An artificial tree is behind it, looking quite plastic compared to the contrast of the tiger's white coat with black stripes.

Good morning from me and my bowl of sad.

Clearly, some things in life aren't worth having without added sugars.

This weather is trying to kill me

But your girl is too fucking mighty

Also I'm wearing an umbrella

I come bearing this gem I found!
image of "Mental Health Reminders" A cartoon sliced, hard-boiled egg is holding hands with a cartoon piece of toast, and the toast is holding hands with a pink cup of tea. Beneath the egg reads, "Doing your best will look different every day." Under the toast reads, "It's okay to not be okay sometimes." Below the tea reads, "Celebrate your wins, no matter how small."

reaching way back to help out
Wendy Sparrow says, "*spits food all over laptop* And, this is why you don't eat and scroll, friends. She is Quote Posting Lauren McKenzie who says, "new valentines merch just dropped." and it's accompanied by a black and white picture of accused assassin Luigi Mangione and the caption over a pink background reads "are you a C.E.O.? Because I'd like to take you out. <3" with space for both a "to:" and "from:"

Never have I ever received direct reader feedback to something I've ghostwritten, but the client shared an email with me regarding our first project together.

Stop using genAI, ffs. Just hire a good ghostwriter if you want something to market for sales. Pick me! I'm a good, hell great, ghostwriter
Transcript of the email Thank you so much for sharing REDACTED and REDACTED with me! Novellas are such a fine art, but you crafted two characters that I want to root for and see together. You asked about the quality of writing – I think it’s very beautiful. I think you do a great job of varying sentence length. There’s great use of good descriptive language, bringing in sensory details.

Slight spoiler.

But if you're following Elli, you too can have your heart ripped out one panel at a time.

This is Karlach from baldur's gate 3. She's a tall red tiefling with black and red hair and one curly horn plus one broken horn. Her nose is pierced with a horseshoe piercing, and her red bony plate armor glows around the chest with runes. There is a screenshot post in the lower left corner from someone named sadina with the @ EarthLuv3r username writing, verbatim, "I feel so bad whenever my friends check up on me like baby I'm not good but don't you worry bout that."

Got the initial sketch from the great @writes-jo.bsky.social for my future branding avatar, and I'm so cute in his art style I could die!!

News is awful
Post a Godzilla

This is Zilla. He's been with me since 1984 or 85.
This picture is of a stuffed animal with brown arms and legs and a body of camouflage in the shape of Godzilla. It also has brown fabric spikes down its back from head to tail.

I hope incredible sleep claims both of you plus Gargy.
An image of Karlach the blood red tiefling with spunky black hair and strapy armor that shows off the glowing fire burning in her chest. In the lower left corner, a post overlays the image. It's from Sadina @EarthLuv3r. "I feel so bad whenever my friends check up on me. Like baby, I'm not good, but don't you worry 'bout that"

A generic silver showerhead close up with circles patterned white tiles in the shower. Caption reads in blue text, "Every naked person I see turns me on." In a shower of light tiles with a dark band of mini-tiles for an accent, the shower is running with a blue Squirtle pokemon for a showerhead with the water blasting out of his chest. It looks like a 3D print. the caption reads, "Me: I'm gonna start saving money and not spend on things I don't need." Also, "Me:" and showing the picture.

Post a film from the year you turned 18

for me, none are more memorbale than this absolute FLOP that seriously kicked me in the heart.
Headline poster from STAR TREK: INSURRECTION (1998 film). It features a version of the Enterprise speeding over a planet while an ominous face leaning over in shadow, illuminated from below in red. There's also a red and orange and white swooshing arc from the bottom left of the image, up and over the head to the right, before arcing down to the right corner. The film's tagline reads as. "The battle for paradise has begun"

Warm blue... Warm blue... I feel like I know what that is. This is a photo of a roof I was on before two hurricanes took the place out last year. Beautiful blue even on the hottest Florida summer days

Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid.

This one is so old and obscure, I couldn't find a gif for it. This or He-Man is the first and second cartoons i have any memories of.
This is a title card for the cartoon series The Littles, which is written in red at the top of the screen. There are four characters in this picture, and each one has pointy little ears and thin tails with tufts at the end. Tom Little – The older of the two Little children wears a red cap. Lucy Little – The younger of the two Little children has two pigtails in her blonde hair. Grandpa Little – The oldest member of the family is well-dressed with a matching orange vest and pants while he wears a brown overcoat. Dinky Little – A cousin of the family (as in the books, where he is always presented as 'cousin Dinky') is wearing a pilot's cap with goggles and a green scarf over a black shirt. he's also wearing a tan overcoat.

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover.
It only counts as mine because i've been saving it for years for exactly this moment.
In a house with white walls and white tile flooring, a very tall redhead woman in a red and black short dress with high heeled black boots is holding a very short brunette woman with a black shirt, blue jean shorts, and purple sneakers with neon green laces against the wall more than a foot off the ground. in the background, a leather sofa, a fake tree, and an end table with a bouquet of roses in a vase on top are all visible. The text overlay of the image reads in yellow, "Real Queens" and in pink "lift each other up."

If you see this, quote a game with a 10/10 soundtrack.

For YEARS, back in the 90s, I would leave my SNES running with this music at night.
This is a picture of the front cover of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System game New Horizons--Uncharted Waters II. It features a backdrop of a large sailing vessel with many masts and sails. Four of the player characters starting at the top are Juao Franco, a blonde man in a blue outfit weidling a straight sword, Catalina Erantzo stands in front of him with red hair and cape wearing a long sleeved white shirt, a dark greenish vest, and brown pants. She's holding a gun-powder single-shot pistol. Below her to the right is Otto Baynes, a noble in a fancy blue outfit with a red sash. He has short brown hair and a goatee. To his right are three nondescript crewmen. In the bottom left corner is Pietro Conti, a man with short brown hair and a yellow/brown shirt with a white collar. the game is made by KOEI, and bills itself as the Ultimate Role-Playing Adventure!

You can't imagine how much pr0n I had to scroll past to find this, but I've been saving it for a rainy day.
This is a picture of Ian McKellen as gandalf in a scene from The Lord of the Rings where he has the white hair and beard. It has been photoshopped to make his robes pink put a pink bow in his hair and change his gnarled wood staff into pink plus place a hello Kitty image on his chest which is a little white cat's head with a pink flower on top. The text reads "UwU shall not pass"

I finally have a project worth sharing! #WIPSnips
The image above is a writing sample from a prompt asking for the word "share." He chuckles. “Guess we’re both stuck in hellholes, huh?” “Seems like it,” I agree, my smile lingering as we walk toward the buses. In that moment, something shifts inside me. For the first time, I feel a strange, comforting connection with Kai—as though our shared struggles have built a fragile bridge between us, a bridge that might just carry us both through another day.
