portrait of the artist as a window reflection next to an inexplicable window sign

environmental storytelling
a piece of paper taped to a door that reads "ups delivery: we're here! we're open! we were open yesterday too! the door is unlocked."

this is a touch baffling
a street banner for PAX West that reads "not even save scumming can capture all the games in here". the bottom half of the sign is covered in faux graffiti

i have questions and i don't think they can be answered using these buttons
a photograph of some elevator buttons labeled "yes" and "no" next to some more standard utility buttons. they are very shiny because they are new

i have never seen wikipedia do the "webster's defines it as" thing before. this is beautiful
A screenshot from the Wikipedia article on mixtapes, which reads, "...and marketing for album-like projects. Dictionary.com writes that 'the line between an album and a mixtape can be blurry,' and that streaming services rely on the artist to make that determination."

there is a whole genre of sticker in seattle that is mad about how this city doesn't like talking to strangers or being bothered in public
it's a bit like going to the uk and being mad about the orderly queuing
a sticker that reads "stop seattle freeze say hi!!"; it is yellow and appears to be hand written. there are also some caution triangles on it for some reason

i don't generally engage with engagement prompt posts but the "cool albums that came out when you were sixteen" one was interesting to me because even though i did not, broadly, like good music at sixteen, these two absolute bangers did come out that year
the album art for the long winters' "when i pretend to fall." it's a fucked up squiggly rainbow against a green sky and the black silhouette of a hill the album art for "'this is our punk-rock,' thee rusted satellites gather + sing" by silver mt zion. it is made to look like a notebook with the text "containing best ruled paper special notebook" printed above the hand-written album title and some cool birds in the corner

i once showed this to some friends and it prompted some very good discussion: namely, of course, that garfield does not seem like he would be represented by The Fool
if memory serves our consensus was The Magician for garfield. odie and jon had a few candidates
and of course lyman is the Hanged Man
a bumper sticker depicting garfield as The Fool from tarot

was reading through ancient blog entries, looked at my old blogger profile on a whim. i musta been in some kinda mood when i wrote this
a screenshot from an "About Me" section, that reads: "interests: regret; favorite movies: just staring into the void; favorite music: the hideous wailing sound my thermos makes; favorite books: literacy is for chumps."

i have a feeling there's a story here
a photograph of a sign on a piece of bright orange construction equipment, styled as a caution/safety sign, reading "this equipment pays your salary... take care of it!"

not sure i want to work for a villain who can't be bothered to specify which social media site they're on
a photograph of a poster reading: "henchman wanted. local interdimensional villian (sic) in need of henchman. salary negotiable*. must have these qualities: loyalty to me; passion for evil; good at evil clown makeup; good music taste; evil clowns encouraged; not elf or part elf. contact @emminreallife." the asterisk after "salary negotiable" leads to very small text saying "not".

he is so real for this
a frog mascot on some orange construction wrapping, saying "Remember to apply pressure to activate adhesive." the frog is making bedroom eyes at the viewer and striking a sassy--some might say erotic--pose, but we are not the intended audience. he is a secret sexy frog meant only for the construction workers.
