This one is from was late '80s or very early '90s. My mom cut my hair in a slightly longer Dutch boy haircut than she did my brothers.
A school photo from the late 1980s or early 1990s of a blonde girl wearing a ruffle-collared light blue shirt and a darker blue jumper dress. The background of the photo is pink and light blue lasers crisscrossing over dark blue.

Also, here's some 20+-yo fanart.
Fanart, drawing by me, of Robin Sena from Witch Hunter Robin. She wears a gray dress with a high neck, with a black sort of bodice with a split skirt. Her red hair is pulled up in two wrapped pigtails, almost Pippy Longstocking-style. A pair of specs are sliding down her nose. Fire is reflected in her eyes and the lenses of her specs. She is surrounded by flames.

Almost #GoBirds🦅 time! Jalen Hurts Foundation has helped fund school supplies, air conditioning, mentorship, and girls in sports. Or, to paraphrase him, problems that shouldn't be a problems.
Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, and the icy blue Nike cleats he will be wearing against the Dallas Cowboys. The words "Keep it cool" are printed on the heel backs of the shoes.

Plus a pandemic, perimenopause, sandwich generation, the failing of democracy, etc., etc.
Turns out if you get good grades and pretend to have it all together they let you raw dog ADHD until motherhood sends you into a full blown burnout.

You want slop? We got slop.
A photo of two hot dogs with toppings from Jimmie's Hot Dogs in Albany, GA. The bun is toasted, the hot dogs are RED. One of the hot dogs pictured is a slaw dog, topped with a finely chopped, but not wet, coleslaw. The other hot dog is a chili dog. There are no beans. This one does not have onions. If it has onions, it's an "all the way" dog.

What perfect album came out the year I turned 16.
Album cover of Christina Aguilera's debut self-titled album. A blonde woman leans against a wall and looks directly at the camera. Her hair is in late '90s zig-zag part, she has pouty pink lips and big heavily-lined eyes and over-plucked thin eyebrows.

These guys fought fascists in WW2: my grandfathers, Jeff Smith, Sr. (U.S. Army, left) and Jack Haught (U.S. Navy, right). Happy Veterans Day, let's keep fighting fascists.
