I was checking out bird site for updates from my favorite artists when I saw the following post. I don't know if this person posts on Bluesky, so I figured I would share the details here. I hope the translation I've added to the alt text is accurate.
HARD Inero @nearlectrics (twitter username). Hi everyone. We need your help. We're worried for a friend, Mark Steven Florencio. He left just yesterday for lunch and he hasn't come home yet until now. His phone is at home and we have no way to contact him. He was last seen leaving their village in Las Pinas wearing a gray hoodie, yellow shorts, and yellow sliders. Any information or help to find our friend is much appreciated. My DM is open to the public. Thank you. Mark Stephen Florencio smiling casually at the camera. He's wearing big rectangular glasses, is sporting a mustache and shortbeard, brown eyes, and has short black hair parted from his right side. He's Filipino

Why do I find this description amusing? It seems very tryhard
From some random twitter profile. "Nothing in point here-PG/Genesis fan (microphone emoji) lover of dachshunds-many would say I'm a 'conspiracy theorist'-but I only believe true ones (US flag, crossed out sign, syringe, and US flag emojis) USAF MAGA (red heart, white heart, blue heart emojis)"

"Next," Coop says as he crosses his arms. Today, he's decided to dye his hair and goatee red. Cooper opted to wear his blue sleeveless flannel over a yellow undershirt.

My older sister's ex-boyfriend can go fuck himself! He took Cyan back from his relatives and let her die! He didn't even have the decency to let her die comfortably. They were going to take her to the vet to let her go peacefully & he didn't allow that. I hope he never has another dog
Cyan giving me a hug. She was always great about not bumping the movement control toggle on my wheelchair. I missed this pitbull so much

My sister set up my door tapestry today!
When I ordered this tapestry, I chose one that could be customized. I added a design consisting of a Narra tree featuring the Filipino sun and stars above it. For the background color, I chose black. Half of the Filipino sun is blue and the other half is red. As is typical, there are 3 yellow 5-pointed stars underneath the sun.

Too bad I lost
A screengrab of a chat I'm saving as a receipt just in case I run into trouble with the mods. "JerrBear81: I rely on dictation software to navigate the computer. Takes a minute gunslanger69: Your a sliw cheat Slow cheat ! Going to report you JerrBear81: I use dictation software because I'm physically incapable of using a mouse. Not cheating.

What did anyone look like ten years ago?
I'm playfully sticking my tongue out in this picture. I was chubbier back then and had more hair on my head. I still have the same beard, but it's longer instead of being short. I don't have that striped longsleeved shirt anymore. I used to buy a lot of longsleeved shirts that looked like they were a T-shirt double layered over a long sleep. This particular one had dark blue and light blue horizontal stripes. This was also before I switched my glasses frames from rectangular to round (like John Lennon and Ozzy Osbourne).

Share a photo of one of your favorite cartoons from when you were a child – This is mine, what's yours?

I can't lie, I'm not very proud of the alt text for my image.
A group image of the main characters from Disney's Animated Series: Gargoyles. From left to right, the back row has Bronx (a gargoyle that is equivalent to a canine), Broadway (an anthropomorphic, turquoise-skinned, rotund gargoyle), Elisa (the lone human of the group), Goliath (an anthropomorphic, purple-skinned, muscular gargoyle with long black hair), Hudson (an older, anthropomorphic, brown-skinned, rotund gargoyle sporting leather armor and a sword), then Angela (Goliath's daughter. Like he, she is purple skinned and has long black hair). With the exception of Elisa and Bronx, they all have wings. In the front row we have Lexington (a small, anthropomorphic, olive-skinned, gargoyle whose membranous wings stretch between his arms and legs) and Brooklyn (anthropomorphic, red-skinned, flowing white hair, and a beak)

In my headcanon, he's playing Dream Daddy. This image manipulation took longer than the last one! Changing the color of the flannel was the most painstaking part. Usually, changing the hair is painstaking, but not this time
Another screengrab I manipulated via Lunapic. Coop from Megas XLR is one of my all-time favorite fictional characters. Instead of his usual blonde spiky hair, it's now pink. Same with his goatee. In lieu of his normal attire, Harold Cooplowski is wearing a sleeveless black flannel over a yellow V-neck T-shirt. He's playing a videogame using one of those old gray joysticks from the eighties.

When is it not time for slushies and burritos? I'm also testing out writing alt text.
I manipulated this screenshot using Lunapic. It's Coop, the main character from Cartoon Network's Megas XLR. This chubby, punk-rocking, gearhead, perpetually hungry, mecha pilot now has light blue spiky hair instead of his usual blonde. His goatee has the same coloring. He's throwing up the devil horns and smiling widely. A raised eyebrow indicates he's excited about something. Instead of his typical sleeveless red flannel and white T-shirt combination, Coop is wearing a blue sleeveless flannel over a pink T-shirt. The caption on the image reads, "It's time for slushies and burritos!"

FFS! I miss when the end of August was starting to cool down instead of heat up
An image of the high and low temperatures for where I'm located. The low says 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Right now it's 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The high will be 102 degrees Fahrenheit.

Welcome to the neighborhood. Have some bibingka

I was today years old when I learned about the 100 by 100 cheeseburger
Two un-pictured people holding a jerry-rigged box containing a 100 by 100 In-N-Out cheeseburger. Pictured in the background is a man dressed in an In-N-Out uniform consisting of white pants, a red apron, a white button-down shirt, and a white hat. The 100 by 100 cheeseburger contains 100 slices of cheese and beef patties between 2 buttons. The cheese has melted all over the place.

An image of Elon Musk. He's a Caucasian male wearing a suit with no tie. His fingers are steepled in front of his face. The caption reads, "People totally like Brutus as much as Caesar" Another image of Elon Musk wearing the same outfit. He sporting a slight frown. The caption reads, "What's so great about Caesar? Brutus is just as cute" This time, Elon is wearing a tuxedo with a white bow tie. The caption reads, "When did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody?" In this last photo, Elon is wearing a suit and tie combination. He's talking into a microphone. The caption reads, "We should totally just stab Caesar!!1!"

One of the characters I relate to the most. Barney Guttman. I can easily relate to his struggle with others' perception of his identity. When I came out of the closet, I often heard secondhand accounts of others saying "He doesn't have to be gay just b/c he's in a wheelchair" & similar
An image of a cartoon character from the series Dead End: Paranormal Park. His name is Barney Guttman. As far as I know, Barney is the first gay trans-man cartoon character in a children's series. He's a chubby character wearing a purple shirt underneath a teal jacket with light lavender rings on the sleeves. His hair is buzzed on the sides and back of his head but not on the top. Barney has blue hair that almost looks like a thick mohawk. He's got freckles on his face, his hands are clasped together in front of them, and he's smiling as he's looking off to the right. Both of his earlobes are pierced and the earrings look like they are green studs

I knew he wouldn't take care. He struggled with drug addiction all of his life. They ended up on the streets and he walked her everywhere. He walked her to death. Then, we found out he left her chained to an air conditioner with nothing to eat & they said she was getting water from the condensation.

I received some bad news today. In 2019, my older sister left a real POS. Unfortunately, he took one of the dogs with him. His life steadily grew worse & so did hers. He always swore he would starve before she went hungry, but that was a lie. His brother has to get her put down. I miss you, Cyan

Last ones for the night. I love how all of these turned out. #Coop #MegasXLR #ass
This is an image capture of Coop from Megas XLR. He's sitting inside his car smiling and gesturing a thumb at himself. For this edited image, I employed my usual tactics of sharpening the image. However, before adding the surreal painting effect, I changed one side of his flannel from red to blue. I also changed his blonde hair and goatee to a blue color. Originally, I colored his undershirt yellow, but it didn't look right after adding the surreal painting effect. I tried changing his V-neck collar and the end of his sleeves black, but the colors wouldn't change. This is the same image but with a caption. The caption says, "You can block me online. You can screen my calls. You can ghost me. But, you can't uneat my asshole!"

These image manipulations aren't the originals. I couldn't find the originals so I quickly worked on these. #MegasXLR #Coop
Coop again, but he's facing you and throwing up the devil horns hand gesture. His smile looks like he's good and ready to do something I started by sharpening the outlines to the maximum sharpness. Then, I used the surreal painting effect. Next, I darkened the colors. Finally, I used the "lomo & more" filter to turn the picture black and white. The caption says, "Rock on" Coop again, except this time he looks crazy-excited, has a big toothy grin, and is pointing up with both pointer fingers. Coop is also an outer space on a junkyard planet As usual, I maximized the sharpness of the picture and then applied 10% of the chuckle effect. Next, I applied the surreal painting effect, applied the watercolor2 filter, and finalized it by adding a Doctor Who quote ("It's like this ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff").

Before and after. I thought Bluesky could use a little Harold "Coop" Cooplowski. I have more I want to share but need to find them first. It didn't take that long to edit the second picture. #MegasXLR #Coop
A picture of Coop from the animated series Megas XLR. He's a chubby man in his early twenties. He has blonde spiky hair and is also sporting a goatee. Coop has tan skin and brown eyes. He's wearing a sleeveless red flannel shirt over a white V-neck shirt with the number 12 on its chest pocket. He's smiling casually while pointing both pointer fingers straight ahead. The same picture but edited in a free image editor called Lunapic. This image was edited using Lunapic's surreal painting effect, which brightened up the picture (along with making the outlines look thicker). Then, I darkened the colors a little more. The picture caption says, "You can't handle my Moxie"
