You've just died. The sixth picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.
Two pics of David Bowie from a photoshoot where he was standing against a rust-colored backdrop with a black floor, wearing a shiny dark blue suit with a dark rust colored shirt. He’s standing in his usual weird poses.

I’m always shocked at the absolutely huge quantities of yeast most recipes call for. I go ahead and follow the recipe, but I do find it difficult to believe that this recipe actually required two tablespoons of dry yeast. Maybe the assumption is that we’re all too impatient to wait if we use less?
A pan completely full of shaped and risen rolls ready for the oven. The shaping somehow got a little weird on a couple during the rise, but overall they’re looking pretty decent.

“Allow to rise for 60 to 90 minutes” oh yeah well my son is precocious
A big bowl full of risen roll dough which is starting to press against the plastic wrap covering the bowl. A big bowl full of risen roll dough without the plastic wrap so everyone can see how large the dough has gotten.

Ten years since I first saw this and I still haven’t found out why the big dummy was wearing a traffic cone
Blixa Bargeld wearing an orange traffic cone on his head. This appears to be a candid photo; at a nearby table are people with laptops, and he’s standing as if he’s casually addressing them. It looks a bit like a college class with a wacky professor.

He’s sick of my shit
Maury, a gray tabby tuxedo cat, sits on top of a bookshelf. He has finally turned to cast a disgusted, ears-back glance at me over his shoulder.

He felt like shit most of the day because he got three vaccines yesterday, but it didn’t keep him from being offended when I gently moved him off my spot on the couch
Maury, a gray tabby tuxedo cat, laying on a flowered towel on a red couch. He is looking at me alertly and his pupils are dilated.

If you see this post your getaway vehicle
A small plane painted black with a sleek red double-stripe down the side. It has “Numanair” painted on it in red and a simplified red illustration of Gary Numan’s face on its tail.

Yeah exactly that new HVAC and pretty recent roof caught my eye! I wasn’t sure what to call these things, but by “panels” I meant whatever is going on in the lower portion of these walls. Whatever it is, I hate it.
Empty room with taupe walls, but the bottom third of the walls seems to have some kind of hideous white paneling, maybe painted-over fake wood shit from a bygone era?

What movie villain is a horrible person, but an absolute joy to watch on screen?
B/W still of Rudolph Klein-Rogge from Dr. Mabuse, The Gambler in a neat suit but with slightly disheveled hair, glaring off to the viewer’s right.

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy
Still from the very end of City Lights. Chaplin gazes with shy delight at the formerly blind girl he had once helped, and had never expected to see again. He is holding a white rose that she gave him.

Happy adoption day to the Guy
Maury, a gray tabby tuxedo cat, perched on the arm of the red couch and staring alertly at the camera. He looks very intelligent and polite.

Also, scream this shit from the rooftops:
Screenshot from the post linked above. Text: + +A long-time pet peeve of mine is hearing over and over that libraries are more than books. That's not wrong, but it also allows an easy devaluing of the books that are the bread and butter of libraries. The more you say something as justification for, say, budget stability or increase, the more opportunity there is for those with the purse strings to say your most basic provisions are not necessary then. The perpetual line from book banners' mouths is that they're not banning books because you can just buy them elsewhere. Do not let that be the narrative perpetuated by library advocates-no, in fact, many people cannot "just" buy the materials. Libraries offer essential access people do not have and that, in a period of costs outpacing salaries and federal government hamstringing financial support to those who need it, will begin to impact greater and great numbers of people.

Been a while since I posted Modesty Tail (TM)
Maury, a gray tabby tuxedo cat, lying asleep on his side on a flowered towel on the red couch. His little paws and feet are crooked adorably in front of him, and his tail is draped across his belly between his back feet.

How it started/how it’s going
Five small jelly jars of apple butter, cooling after being processed in a water bath canner. About three tablespoons of apple butter in a rather handsome green and blue teacup.

Forty-seven minutes later:
A large ceramic slow-cooker liner about 2/3 full of peeled, cored, and chopped Winesap apples, next to a damp bamboo cutting board with a peeler and old paring knife on it. A crumpled and very used dish kitchen towel is behind them.
