I don't want to yuck anyone's yum, but sometimes I have to stop and ask myself "how is there a market big enough to justify this?!" #bananawater Also, if you found this from the bananawater hashtag, I have a lot of questions for you.

This image is a close-up, eye-level shot of a person's hand holding a beverage can in what appears to be a retail store or refrigerated display.
The primary focus is a tall, slender aluminum can labeled "WOODSTOCK Organic BANANA WATER." The can is predominantly white. A prominent, stylized bright yellow banana graphic extends vertically down the right side of the can, with a brown stem at the top. The words "WOODSTOCK" and "BANANA WATER" are in black, while "Organic" is in a teal/light blue color. Near the bottom, a black circular label indicates "ADDED 0g SUGAR." Below this, "16.9 FL OZ (500 mL)" is printed. A wavy, light blue and white pattern, resembling water, is visible at the bottom of the can's design.

Just finished The Shattering Peace by @scalzi.com and absolutely loved it. I'll always be here for another Old Man's War story. What book should I move on to next while I wait for Operation Bounce House by @mattdinniman.bsky.social to come out? #booksky #oldmanswar

This image is a book cover for "The Shattering Peace" by John Scalzi, featuring a dramatic, painterly science fiction scene.

#Sounders win the last home game of the regular season. Wet night but got to say thanks to Jordan Morris and get his signed match jersey. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday evening.

Two people standing on a soccer field after a match, posing for a photo. The person on the left is wearing a blue and teal Seattle Sounders jersey and jeans, holding another blue jersey in their hand. The person on the right is wearing a gray Sounders warm-up jacket, white shorts, teal socks, and pink cleats. Stadium seats, fans, and a scoreboard reading “1974” and “90:00” are visible in the background.

What a day at Lumen Field. The Sounders beat the Timbers at home for the first time in years and I am buzzing.

Thank you Costco! Got my COVID and flu shots today and some delicious pizza! I am grateful to live in a state that supports science and healthcare. Feeling hopeful as fall rolls in.

Exterior view of a Costco Wholesale storefront with a light gray facade. A large COSTCO sign in red pink lettering sits above a blue WHOLESALE sign with three blue stripes to the left. A tree on the left has green leaves turning orange and red. The sky is partly cloudy blue with daylight and shadows along the building, photographed from a low left angle. No people are present.

Great catching up with fellow board member Linda and Executive Director Luis before our GSSL board meeting today. Looking forward to a productive session. #GSSL #Soccer #SeattleSoccer #BoardMeeting

[THINK]The image shows an indoor office setting with several visual elements to describe.

First, there are two people present. One person is seated at a table to the left side of the image, holding a cup. The other person is seated at another table to the right side of the image, also holding a cup and using a laptop. Both individuals appear to be engaged in some work or meeting activity.

The setting appears to be an office with several tables, chairs, and office equipment. The walls are painted white, and there are several doors visible. The ceiling has light panels and is typical of an office environment.

On the table closest to the camera, there are two laptops open, displaying different screens. One laptop screen shows what appears to be a presentation or document with text and images, while the other screen displays some colorful graphics or possibly a design tool.

Other objects on the tables include a water bottle, several cups, and what looks like a plate with some snacks or food items.

The lighting is bright, likely from overhead fluorescent lights, as indicated by the even illumination throughout the room. The colors in the image are mostly neutral: white walls, gray carpet, and the various colors of office furniture and equipment. The people are wearing casual clothing, which includes a black shirt for the person on the left and a dark shirt for the person on the right.

There is no text visible in the image that can be confidently described without clarification.

Now, compiling these observations into a concise description.[/THINK]The image depicts an indoor office setting with two individuals engaged in work or a meeting. Both people are seated at separate tables, each holding a cup. The individual on the left is seated closer to a window, while the person on the right is using a laptop that displays colorful graphics.

In the foreground, there are two open laptops on a table. One laptop screen shows a presentation or document with text and images, while the other screen displays some colorful graphics or possibly a design tool. Additionally, there are several cups and what appears to be a plate with snacks or food items on the tables.

Not the way we wanted to end. United Sports FC lost to SEAGAM 3-4. We controled the first half but let them back in during the second half. I am grateful to be coaching this team though. On to the next one! ⚽️⚽️⚽️ #soccer #football #UPSL #unitedsportsfc #coaching

Oh look, it snowed. I asked for this not to happen but it’s happened. Hopefully it’s only this small amount. #seattle #snow #PnW

Wow, blown away by all the new followers this week,thank you! I'm based in Seattle, obsessed with soccer #EBFG, passionate about animals, and above all can't stand Trump and where the US is headed right now. Here are some animal photos for the pet tax.

I think about this comic a lot now that I’m an adult. It’s wild to realize my parents were my age once, probably just figuring it out as they went too. They seemed so confident back then but it turns out the secret to adulthood is just acting like you’ve got a clue. #Adulthood

Comic strip of a husband and wife lying in bed. The husband reflects on how, as a kid, he thought adults always knew what to do. Now, as an adult, he realizes life is mostly ad-libbed and wonders if his parents felt the same way. The wife listens thoughtfully.

On days like today I am grateful that I am able to get outside and train the next generation of soccer goalies. Anything to take my mind off the pain that started today in America. #soccer #seattle

Taking your dog to a pet store is like taking a kid to a candy shop, except everything squeaks, and they insist on sniffing EVERY. SINGLE. TOY.

No regrets though. She’s living her best life. 💖 #dogs #barkfriday

A dog wearing a pink harness and leash is sniffing a shelf full of colorful plush toys in a pet store aisle. The shelves are packed with stuffed animals and other dog toys, while the dog is deeply focused, as if choosing the perfect one.

Happy Birthday to these two. Not shown are the photos of the huge amount of slobber a few seconds after this photo and the huge mess the dog treats made when they decided to eat them on the carpet 🤦🏻‍♂️

Alright, If my local supermarket can deck the aisles with Christmas decorations on November 1st, then surely it’s fair game for me to set up my Christmas tree today, right? 🎄 #christmas #holidays
