y'all wanna see something antisemitic
Tumblr user carys-the-ninth says: "Any time I want something low-stakes to be mad about I think about how they cut bagels in St Louis." Beneath this is a photograph of a box of bagels that have all been cut crosswise into thin slices, like bread. OP asks "Why." Why indeed.

chess is beautiful ok
Black and white photo of Anatoly Karpov peering over Garry Kasparov's shoulder as he contemplates a chess move. The caption is a quote from Karpov: "I know Kasparov as well as I know anyone. I know his smell. I can read him by that. I recognize the smell when he is excited and I know when he is scared. We may be enemies, but we are intimate enemies."

he was definitely an odd looking little guy but the cartoons did my man dirty imho
Black and white film still from "M" featuring Peter Lorre in a fedora and trenchcoat, looking hunted because he is in fact being hunted. He is a peculiar looking young man but the cartoons are much weirder and less human.

Cornell is a glorified ag school, but oh well. There's always Harvard for law school.
Another 80s-looking Betty Crocker, this one with tremendous Connecticut WASP energy.

of course your father and I think Ronald Reagan is a bit of a simpleton, but we approve of his tax policies.
One of the Betty Crockers, circa 1980, with a smug smile.

I love the character redesigns for Betty Crocker over the years because it shows how successive generations imagined the archetype of their judgmental WASP mothers
Eight illustrations of the fictional brand mascot Betty Crocker, wearing fashions and hairstyles from about 1910 through 2000. In all iterations, she has brown hair and is wearing a white blouse under a red sweater. All versions look passive-aggressively judgmental.

My top artists are Lady Gaga, Lord Huron, Rise Against, Phoebe Bridgers, and Fall Out Boy.

Ollie got me a shirt with this embroidered on it; to be loved is to be known 🥹
Close up of a piece of fabric (it's a T shirt but you can't tell) embroidered with the phrase "I love that gay little onion, the shallot."

me earlier today reading stuff in the scraps folder and putting it back in the draft
Film stills from Lord of the Rings showing Bilbo Baggins avariciously holding the Ring of Power. His line in this moment, which has become a meme, is "after all, why not? why SHOULDN'T I keep it?"—the dialogue is not included in the image, but can be inferred on sight by anyone familiar with the moment and/or the meme.

this is not the plot of my book but it could conceivably HAPPEN within the plot of my book
"In 4th grade, my bff was in a death feud over chess with a boy in our class but instead of competing like normal people they decided that the best way to determine who was chess master was for each of them to select one of the two biggest idiots in class and teach them to play chess, My Fair Lady style, and see whose idiot won. We are just now, 22 years later, grappling with the moral implications of this exercise."

Close up of a small white dog sitting on a sofa, looking into the camera with a combination of soulfulness and impatience.

Tillie has been cold so I got her a little lumberjack sweater and
My small white dog sitting on the sofa in a red and black checkered doggy cloak, looking very skeptical. Different angle of same; she seems to ask why this is being done to her.

I still haven't recovered from finding out that some people consider these to be a Christmas cookie
Photo of a plate of peanut butter blossom cookies, which are fluffy peanut butter cookies with a Hershey's Kiss pressed into the middle.

my photo library has seen fit to remind me of: The Lad
A very fluffy Siamese-ragdoll cross is lying on his back with his paws curled up, basking with his eyes closed. He has long white whiskers and a little white chin. He is the best cat.

my pangram app is a little bitch and wouldn't accept either of these
Screenshot of a pangram game with the center letter "I" and the optional letters "L," "G," "N," "A," "M," and "R." I have attempted to enter the word "LIGMA" as a solution. the same pangram app, but now it won't accept "MANGINA."

saw this lad on Tumblr and I keep thinking about him. he is perfect
Screenshot of a Reddit post to r/whatisit. The poster asks, "What is this? Is it dangerous to my dog and children? Florida"—accompanied by a photo of the fattest and most resplendent toad you have ever seen, sitting on a brick patio with a wide stance and a look of deep satisfaction. He is an angel from heaven and I love him.

mission accomplished
puff pastry tart with goat cheese, sage, and maple-glazed delicata squash, inexpertly plated but very tasty.

A much younger version of me holding the tiniest white puppy. One of her feet is visible with its little toe beans.

A cream colored princess cake with a pink buttercream rose on top and chocolate lettering reading "congratulations Micah." The tiniest bottle of rosé prosecco next to a crystal glass.
