I feel her pain.
4-panel cartoon from "Girls with Slingshots" by Danielle Corsetto. A conversation between Hazel (writer, strip's protagonist, white woman w/red hair) and Thea (her boss, black woman with glasses). Panel 1: Thea: Well if you want any help, you know you can always ask me. Hazel: Thanks, "Boss." Panel 2: Thea: Don't you put quotation marks around that. Hazel (smirking): I didn't, "Boss." Panel 3: Thea (looking irritated): I'm an editor. I can HEAR punctuation. Hazel: Hey, Thea, guess; what I just did. Panel 4: Thea (grimacing, smoke rising from her head): That is NOT how you use a semicolon. Hazel (expression of mock sympathy, hand on Thea's shoulder): *Should of* seen the look on your face; your face LITERALLY exploded. Thea: AUGH STOP

Screen shot of a tweet/skeet from a user called Ginny Mae: "play the grindr notification noise at Christmas dinner to see which conservative relatives panickedly check their phone ringer."

"You'll be visited by three spirits."

The three spirits:
Promo poster for Supernatural, showing Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester) front and center, with Jared Padaleki (Sam Winchester) behind him on his right (cameral left) and Misha Collins (Castiel) behind him on his left (camera right). The image is done in dark sepia, and everyone's wearing a dark/black version of their usual clothes. (I WANT CAS IN THAT BLACK SHIRT AND BLACK TRENCH FOREVER.) The background is backlit fog/clouds.

Two photos of me, both from mid-chest up, side by side. On the left, one of me before Transitioning, a middle-aged woman with glasses and short silver hair brushed across the forehead, wearing a blue sari. On the right, one taken in 2024, after 7 years on Testosterone, a 60-year-old man with receding silver hair and glasses.

Unlimited Data

(I know: these are screenshots, and I did a photo manip, but I just couldn't resist!)

(original image from writeup.org, copyright Paramount, etc.)
Eight copies of Data from Star Trek: Next Generation -- seen from the mid-thigh up, arms at his sides, no expression on his face -- distributed evenly across a greyscale background. Text: Unlimited Data

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

I don't know about "perfect," but damn close.
Cover of the Talking Heads album Remain in light. At the top is the band's name in a large font, with the A's upside down. In a much smaller font at the bottom is the album's name. The image is a grid of the 4 bandmembers faces in blueish monochrome. Over their faces has been painted flat red, very pixelated, with only their eyes, noses, and mouths showing.

For your transmasc followers: You do have to look for it, but there are some AWESOME shirts out there.
shop.morningwitch.com (gender-neutral)
www.yiume.com (separate masc and femme, mostly masc)

Here are two I own, the first from Morningwitch and the second from Yiume. Aren't they BEAUTIFUL?
Short-sleeved button-up shirt shown against a lavender background. The (large-scale) print is various corvid skulls against a black background. The words "momento mori" in small script are scattered throughout. Short-sleeved button-up shirt photographed against a white background. The pattern is an utterly gorgeous art-nouveau print in apricot and green, reminiscent of William Morris designs. For all I know, it could BE William Morris.

Quote with a 10/10 album.
The cover of the Talking Heads' album Stop Making Sense. The left hand 3/4 of the cover is a close up of David Byrne, from chin to knee, in the "big suit", a boxy light tan suit several sizes too large for him. In the upper right corner of this image is "Talking Heads" in white, looking hand-lettered, and "Stop Making Sense" in red in the lower right corner. The right 1/4 of the cover is white, with a section of a large black circle, as if it was the vinyl record itself. There's a "voluptuous vinyl" logo in the lower right, which appears to be a website logo.

If you see this post a vampire who isn’t Dracula.
Mark Proksch as Colin Robinson, an energy vampire from the TV show "What We Do In the Shadows." The image is done in sepia tones. Colin, wearing a white shirt, striped tie and tan cardigan with stripes on the collar and cuffs, is looking out at the audience with a quizzical, raised-eyebrow expression, one hand adjusting his glasses.

This is awesome.
Two posts from Twitter: George Santos: Sadly it seems that my family and I will be departing the city I've called home my entire life. NYC will become a very dangerous place to live in if we elect mayor Mamdani and that is a risk I am unwilling... Qasim Rashid, Esq.: So in other words, Mamdani isn't even mayor yet and convicted criminals are already fleeing New York City. Wow Zohran is good at his job.

So - let's make it a thing
Post your favorite picture of Misha Collins!

I don't know that this is my FAVORITE pic of Misha of ALL TIME or anything, but I love it when he's grinning and having fun, and bonus for Felicia's expression!

Misha Collins dancing with Felicia Day. They are both grinning and happy and having so much fun.

Who's solving the Louvre robbery? Right answers only.
Still from TV show Elementary, showing Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) And Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller), sitting at someone's kitchen table. Watson is wearing a grey checked double-breasted coat & Sherlock a black peacoat. The table is covered with a bright, probably vinyl, tablecloth. They are both looking at someone slightly off-camera right with serious expressions. Sherlock's left eyebrow is slightly raised.

FYI this account does acknowledge four kings. BUT THAT'S IT.
Black and white photo of Martin Luther King, Jr., standing before a microphone and declaiming, his finger pointed at the audience. Image of B.B. King, wearing a patterned purple shirt and smiling in pure enjoyment, playing an electric guitar. A bag of King Arthur Organic Unbleached Bread Flour. The logo, interestingly, appears to be a Templar, not an Anglo-Saxon king, on a black horse, wearing a white surcoat over his armor with the red templar cross on the breast and holding a banner with the same cross on it. Still from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, showing Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion during his song "If I Were King of the Forest." He is wearing a cape of white flowers and a broken green flower pot as a crown on his head.

I was married but I’m not married any more. Women don’t like the vehicle.
Three clowns in full regalia gesturing at the camera as they drive what looks like a yellow 4-seater golf cart covered in indecipherable stickers.

You REALLY don't want to confuse Furies with Furries...
Engraving of the Three Furies by Jean-Edouard Dargent (1870), showing the Furies as three women with snakes as hair and bat wings, their naked bodies encircled by serpents. They are charging out of a cloud towards the viewer, and their faces are distorted by rage.

Yesterday in the Redwoods, at the Grove of the Titans. (Yes, I know this is a gimmick shot, but it's still cool.)
Photo of a group of redwood trees, shot with a wide angle up to the crowns of the trees. It's sunny with a blue sky and some clouds.

Our first night of vacation (Wednesday), at the Itty Bitty Inn in North Bend. STAR TREK ROOM, MUTHAHFUCKAHS!
Wide-angle shot of a hotel room done up in a Star Trek theme (Original Series). The bed, on the right, has a starfield coverlet. The carpet is deep red. The walls are painted to look like the displays on the bridge of the Enterprise. On the right are mock ups of various consoles, with blinking lights and everything. In the distance, at the entrance to the bathroom, someone painted a mural to make it look like a redshirt crewmember is holding the towel rack. There are groovy lights everywhere. It is AWESOME.

Absolutely most random thing happened to me yesterday:

I'd ordered some stuff from Converse. Got an email saying the shoelaces had arrived.

Found a 13x13" box on the porch. I opened it, pissed at the overpackaging, only to find a smaller box. Inside the smaller box a tiny metal thingie. WTAF?
Photo of two boxes, a small rectangular one on top of a larger square one, seen from above. The smaller box is open. Inside is a small (~1" long) metal doodad, the purpose of which I can't even imagine.

if you see this, quote the energy you bring to bluesky
Image created to look like an early Medieval tapestry (Actually, the art is probably from a real tapestry -- the text is what's changed). On the bottom left there is a building with two birds on the tiled roof. In front of the building are several people gesticulating wildly. Text: Behold! The field in which I grow my fucks. Lay thine eyes upon it and thou shalt see that it is barren. In the bottom right corner is superimposed the word "flamablep," which might be the creator of the meme?

Just when you thought reality TV couldn't stoop any lower. 🙄
Screenshot of an announcement for a new TV program: Are You My First? In this ground-breaking new dating experiment, the largest, hottest group of virgins ever assembled search for intimacy, love -- and maybe for their first -- in a tropical paradise designed just for them. For the first time, they're free to explore their connections without judgment, allowing these sexy young singled to embark on a heated, yet heartfelt journey packed with romantic dates, revealing challenges, and new love interests eager to find "the one." Who will find that special someone? And who will go home hot, bothered and heartbroken? Starring: Kaitlyn Bristow, Colton Underwood TVMA -Reality -TV Series -2025 Screenshot of a promo image for "Are You My First," the reality show described in the first image. It has the name of the show, a link to a full description, controls to watch the first episode, and a badge for Hulu, the service that's presenting it. The image is of the stomach and hips of an implausibly trim and smooth white woman wearing a teal bikini bottom. There are water droplets on her stomach and a cherry in her navel, for fuck's sake.

Stolen from the WQRC "meme" Discord channel. 😂
Screenshot of a post by "hauntedkeys": "What do you even do if you have leftover milkshake. Can't put it in the freezer because it's too cold, can't put it in the fridge because it's not cold enough, can't even put it in the yard because it'll bring all the boys and we just dealt with our last infestation."

Your last saved pic is your moral Philosophy.

I don't' know if I'd call it my *moral philosophy*, but it certainly sums up my mood for 2025.

Post an obscure album in your collection you that always think: 'Surely nobody else has got this?'

I don't remember if I've ever actually listened to this CD. Or even where I got it.
cover of a CD called Grunt, which claims to be "Pigorian Chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo, discovered, translated, notated, and illuminated by Sandra Boynton." It features cartoon pigs holding candles, floating in a blue sky with puffy white clouds. It's a parody of "Chant" by the monks of St. Domingo de Silos.

OK, hear me out — a Lord of the Rings remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:
Screen shot of Tommy Lee Jones as K and Will Smith as J from Men in Black. They are standing in a room with large recesses in a grey ceiling for light fixtures. They are wearing the black suits and opaque sunglasses. They both have serious expressions on their faces.
