An official The Far Side coffee mug, picture on the mug is an end table with a fishbowl that is somehow on fire--3 goldfish are "safely" outside of the fiery bowl. One remarks: "Well, thank God we all made it out in time. ... 'Course, now we're equally screwed."

If you see this, post a monster 🪷💀
Artwork posted 5e.tools, Corpseflower by Shawn Wood. It is a huge mobile mass of roots woven like an orchid's ballroot, a lump of corpses in some varying states of decomposition, blood-tipped golden flower blossoms known to spray caustic acids at any hostiles. Its preferred diet is necromancers.

Chat, dinner was glorious. For my first attempt, I give it a solid B+. My spouse says it's an A!

Alt text w/ the play by play. I've enough kitchen prowess to say this isn't entirely a website recipe—I play it by ear a lot (e.g. had no okra & this recipe calls for crab meat, too. This is all meant for spouse+me's lunches this week, otherwise the dutch oven would've been the vessel of choice
Gumbo file staining the poster's dutch oven Overnight 'cajun' dry rubbed chicken thighs ~2.5 lbs, roasted and then shredded off the bone About 2 pounds of de-veined & dry rubbed prawns (shrimp) The last stretch: everything in the stockpot, to simmer further while the pairing rice that just got started cooking has time to finish

I'm tryna make gumbo

My spouse is Southern, she says it smells like gumbo so far but I am no roux master so I'm worried (kitchen anxiety always takes over on dishes I have never made before).

Almost halfway done.
Bacony roux, starting base for zie gumbo, yes suh Roux sauteed veggies (2x bell pepper, onion, celery, garlic) with some chicken broth

Home with the baby (my fun is always in the alt text)
Poster's tortoiseshell cat, passed the fuck out. A tempting cat leg extends towards the foreground. The poster assures everyone they will not eat that leg, despite their loud declarations to the contrary

Marge Simpson, from the "I just think they're neat" clip/meme. Instead of a potato in her hand, there is a sloppily cropped picture of OP's disarray desnarler. the text "I just think they're neat" is missing.

I always miss my cat.
The poster's tortoiseshell cat, laying in the partial sunbeam of the poster's rear screen door. Poster's slippered (pink, oversized cartoon sneakers) feet are present on the left of the image.

Some morning moon over 30th Street Station, Philadelphia
A photograph from Philadelphia's market Street bridge, looking West. In no particular arrangement, there's a porta potty in the foreground, a traffic cone, a few cars on the road, a distant pedestrian. Some gorgeous, old streetlamps and an eagle statue (not the NFL eagle), and a slightly waning, nearly full moon hanging over the Amtrak station

Thanks for the sick pendant, @nora.zone
Just in time for my witchy outfit, tonight. 🧹🎃
An overhead view of poster's desktop and knee, featuring a [battered but not broken] teal box emblazoned with Nora Reed Designs' name and logo, with a ready-to-plant cute holographic dragon sticker, below it A gorgeous blue-black cluster pendant (beautiful amalgamation of glass beads) with sterling silver chain socket.

like, here's the other side, just to emphasize how stupid it is.

Somehow, they've half-assed half-assing.
The same location as the previous image but looking ~180 degrees in the other direction. A gravel strewn concrete island with a crosswalk pole, leading to an intimidatingly wide stretch of road, again to nowhere. There's not even a ramp on the otherside, even if there were a sidewalk. Somehow, they've half-assed half-assing.

I'm so glad (and sarcastic) that ADA compliance is taken so seriously in my city.
8 slabs of concrete (4x2), slightly sloped to hopefully allow a wheelchair to easily ascend. The slabs go nowhere. It is an ADA ramp to nowhere. No sidewalks connect to this ramped crosswalk. Why was this even built?

Snaps of some fall flora in philly. Looking forward to an orchard hike this weekend. This office cannot contain me.
A photo of a clematis plant, what poster believes is called Virgin's Bower or maybe Sweet Autumn Clematis. Photo of a dense green shrub with thin 5-pointed flower petals Red orange berries of a Firethorn shrub (evergreen family, Pyracantha) Hummingbird sage 'stalks' looking rather violet A big ole petal of a Japanese Anemone flower, with a cute honey bee, catching a little rest on one of the huge, white petals

A cute .eme my friend sent me vs the meme I sent them in response
An opossum in a peach tree. It is dark, but the obscured face of the opossum is illuminated by the camera's flash. The peaches are bright and ripe, and the foliage is dense. Captioned: the little critter in me sees the little critter in you MSPaint doctored version of the previous image with a moral sneaky, hairful picture of Billie Corgan, not blending in so swell next to the possum. The caption now reads, "the critter in me is the critter in you", a reference you will understand if you're familiar with the music of the Smashing Pumpkins.

Fuck the GOP. I mean, fuck Dems, too, but this shit really makes me sad. It's a government website. And for the record, I'm not at all surprised by this, but when the ADA's website takes aim with its' "ire" at any ONE political party, the doom is palpable. It's so Joever.
Cropped screen grab from ADA.gov, showing the top left of the ADA's website. Message in focus: "⚠ Democrats have shut down the government. Department of Justice websites are not currently..." [image cuts off].

I never doubted for a second, FWIW.
The Wins and Losses of the Philadelphia Phillies regular season calendar, indicating 96 wins and 66 losses, hanging on an 8.5"x11" piece of office paper on the poster's office cubicle exterior wall. Not pictured, enthusiastic post-it note about a Red October

Litter of SW Philadelphia
Litter of a damaged, emptied cardboard box, amidst fallen leaves and pine needles. A lewd box, "My 1st Virgin Pussy and Ass", discarded and emptied of its silicon combination ass+pussy realistic sex toy.

What-the-fuck ever, man. I'm so ashamed I ever went door-to-door for you.

No one is expecting you to support violence, but maybe mourning your own would make you seem a little less tone deaf??? Why venerate a guy who thinks your wife's brain is smaller? Why even acknowledge a literal neonazi?

Mutual aid image by designer Seth. I believe this image was originally made in response to Hurricane Katrina under GWB B&W image, Top section: " the government does not care." amidst a Capitol spire reminiscent of a government building's round spire, four visages of white faces staring up into the air, averting their eyes from a crisis below bottom section, showing inverse colors, three people struggling in flood waters. One person is a top a safe platform trying to aid the others. "We, the people, must help each other!"
