A photograph of a computer screen displaying a multiple-choice question from an online survey, labeled "Q12." The question text reads, "What gender do you identify with?" The answer choices provided are highly inappropriate and nonsensical for a gender identity question, as they are options from a five-point Likert agreement scale: Strongly disagree, Somewhat disagree, Neither agree nor disagree, Somewhat agree, and Strongly agree. Each option is preceded by a radio button. The question number, Q12, has an associated checked box next to it. Vertical lines run down the left side of the screen, with a red circular minus icon visible next to the option list and a blue circular plus icon visible at the bottom. The image is clear enough to read the text but shows the typical pixelation and angle of a photo taken of a screen.

A meme titled "Things Women In Literature Have Died From." The title text is large and bold, placed above a central image. The image is a Pre-Raphaaelite-style painting depicting a pale, languid woman lying on a bed, appearing unwell or deceased. She is wearing a light, possibly white, nightgown or burial dress, and a cap or veil covers her hair. She is lying back with her eyes closed and her expression is somber. The lighting is soft, emphasizing her delicate features and the drapery around her. Below the image, two columns of bullet points list the fictitious, often absurd, causes of death for women in literature, satirizing common tropes. The list of causes includes: • Cold hands • Beautiful face • Missing slippers • Wrist fevers • Night brain • Going outside at night in Italy • Shawl insufficiency • Too many pillows • Garden troubles • Someone said "No" very loudly while they were in the room • Letter-reading fits • Drawing-room anguish • Not enough pillows • Haven't seen the sea in a long time • Too many novels • Pony exhaustion • Strolling congestion • Sherry served too cold • Ship infidelity • Spent more than a month in London after growing up in Yorkshire • Clergyman's dropsy • Flirting headaches • River unhappiness • General bummers • Knitting needles too heavy • MMMF • Beautiful chestnut hair • Spinal degeneration as a result of pride • Parents too happy • The Unpleasantness

A four-panel meme visually comparing social media platforms to different styles of home libraries and book displays, arranged in a 2x2 grid. Top Left Panel: LINKEDIN. A formal library scene is depicted. The wall is covered in wallpaper that realistically simulates floor-to-ceiling rows of antique, dark-spined, leather-bound books. In the foreground is a single, comfortable, light-colored armchair with a gray cushion, suggesting a serious, professional setting. The panel is labeled "LINKEDIN" in white text. Top Right Panel: FACEBOOK. This panel shows a bold blue, multi-shelf bookcase designed to resemble the TARDIS, the iconic police call box from Doctor Who. The top section of the shelf unit mimics the roof and signage of the call box. The shelves are filled with a colorful mix of books and knick-knacks, implying shared interests and pop culture. The panel is labeled "FACEBOOK" in white text. Bottom Left Panel: INSTAGRAM. A modern, stylish home interior featuring extensive black shelving built into a wall above a set of white stairs. The shelves hold books interspersed carefully with decorative items, colorful artifacts, and accessories. The overall aesthetic is highly curated and emphasizes contemporary interior design and lifestyle presentation. The panel is labeled "INSTAGRAM" in white text. Bottom Right Panel: TINDER. This panel features a humorous and creative display where various books are stacked and mounted directly onto a beige wall to form a large, abstracted, humanoid figure in a dynamic pose, such as a squat or lunge. The figure, constructed entirely of books, is wearing a piece of light blue material around its waist like underwear. The construction emphasizes visual appeal and attention-grabbing presentation. The panel is labeled "TINDER" in white text.

A detailed pop-art style illustration depicts a man and a woman sitting across from each other at a table, likely in a restaurant or on a date. The artwork uses a heavy black outline and features dot shading, characteristic of vintage comic book art. The background is a solid, deep purple. The man, on the left, looks toward the woman with a slight expression of anticipation or hope. He has dark hair, dark eyes, and is wearing a collared, button-up shirt rendered in a light teal or greenish-blue. A speech bubble originating from his position contains the text: WE SHOULD HAVE DINNER AGAIN. The woman, on the right, is looking back at the man, smiling subtly, while holding a stemmed wine glass in her right hand, bringing it close to her lips. She has prominent pink hair, possibly dyed, and is wearing a long-sleeved dress or jacket in a light pink hue. Her fingernails are also painted pink. Both individuals are holding wine glasses filled with red wine, and the glasses are touching in a toast. The speech bubble originating from the woman contains the text: THANKS. BUT I’M FULL. On the table between them, slightly in front of the woman, is a small, light blue or teal vase containing a single stem rose that has a large pink bloom and green leaves. The artist's watermark, @PHAEDRAPEER, is visible near the rose.

All video games should have provision for players with non-standard colour blindness.

It doesn't happen often, but it pisses me off when I can't play a game that uses identical graphics for different items, differentiated only by colours that appear identical to me.

A social media exchange, presented in a standard tweet format. The post consists of a lead tweet and a reply. The lead tweet is by Kristin (@livingforjc). Her profile picture shows a light-skinned woman with blonde hair looking directly at the camera. The body of her tweet reads: "Masturbation and pornography destroy the marriage bed." The timestamp is "10/21/18, 5:06 PM." The engagement metrics show "457 Retweets 1,739 Likes." The reply to this tweet is by Tim Branin (@TBranin). His profile picture is a stylized, black-and-white illustration of a person wearing a wide-brimmed cowboy hat, holding what appears to be a rifle or stick over their shoulder, possibly riding a horse or walking. The reply text, which is indented and starts with "Replying to @livingforjc," reads: "Just lay some towels down first, you'll be fine." The exchange creates a humorous juxtaposition, where Kristin makes a moral or social commentary about the destruction of marital intimacy, and Tim provides a literal interpretation of 'destroy the marriage bed,' suggesting cleanup can be minimised with towels.

A square graphic featuring a humorous, self-aware quote about emotional well-being and sleep, set against a solid-colored background with high contrast. The main text is rendered in a very thick, rounded, retro-style font, strongly reminiscent of late 1960s or early 1970s design aesthetics. The lettering is a light color with a darker shadow or outline, which makes the text stand out prominently from the contrasting background. The text is stacked and centered, delivering the message in a casual, meme-like tone. It reads across four lines: Life Hack: you cant be sad if you are asleep.

A screenshot of a Tumblr thread on a dark background, comparing the approaches of classic female authors to male characters and romance. The text is white and is divided into three separate posts from three different users. The first post, from user moonachilles, reads: "Jane Austen really said 'I respect the 'I can fix him' movement but that's just not me. He'll fix himself if knows what's good for him' and that's why her works are still calling the shots today." The second post, from user nitewrighter, reads: "Meanwhile Emily Brönte just said 'We can make each other worse.'" The third post, from user theonlycabbage, reads: "Mary Shelley said, 'I can make him". The posts are presented with the users' profile pictures to the left of their usernames.

A book cover for "Temptation Ridge" by Robyn Carr. The top third of the cover is a solid orange panel. The author's name ROBYN CARR is printed in large white capital letters across the orange panel. Above the author's name, in smaller orange text, are the words New York Times and USA TODAY Bestselling Author. The title of the book TEMPTATION RIDGE is centered below the orange panel in large black capital letters. Centered below the title are the words A Virgin River Novel in smaller black text. The bottom two-thirds of the cover is an illustration of a natural, mountainous landscape. In the background are purple and green forested mountains under a hazy or cloudy sky. In the middle ground are tall green pine trees densely clustered. Tucked amongst the trees near the bottom center are three small rustic wooden cabins or lodges. In the foreground, a dark stream or river with white ripples flows from the bottom of the image toward the center. The bottom edge of the cover features a block quote from a starred review by Booklist reading ‘Once again Carrs fully dimensional characters carry the tale’ Booklist starred review on Shelter Mountain.

A close-up, slightly angled shot of a framed image featuring a quote printed over a background of small text. The framed item is rectangular and surrounded by a dark frame. The background text is small, dense, and appears to be faded or grayscale, making it difficult to decipher. Over this background, a large, bold quote is printed in a dark colour using a combination of serif and script fonts. The quote reads, in four lines: "No two persons ever read the same BOOK." The word "BOOK" is the largest and heaviest text. Below the main quote, small text, likely an attribution, is visible, stating "Edmund Wilson". The frame is reflective, capturing light on the top left and bottom right edges, and is presented on a surface that is also dark and textured, perhaps a dark tablecloth or mat, filling the bottom corners of the photograph.

"How to Sit"

Model: Ree Ja
Photography: Aeric Merideth-Goujon
Make up: Jewel Whitfield
Rigging: Emily 77
A high-contrast, dramatic studio photograph of a seated figure in mid-motion, captured against a solid dark background. The figure is seated on a simple, dark wooden chair, leaning intensely into the pose. They are elaborately bound with thick, tan-coloured shibari rope, which covers the torso, arms, and legs in complex patterns over dark, heavily distressed tights or stockings. The tights have significant tears, particularly visible on the thighs. The figure wears tall, glossy, lace-up combat boots that reach above the ankle, with the left leg extended forward and the right knee bent. The pose is dynamic, suggesting both constraint and unrestrained energy. The figure's long, dark hair is thrown back and flying wildly around their head, blurring with motion and obscuring the face, emphasizing the kinetic energy of the scene. A strong, focused light source highlights the glossy texture of the boots, the weave of the rope, and the sheen of the hair, while casting deep shadows. Below the chair, a reddish, textured surface provides a slight contrast to the otherwise stark setting. The overall mood is powerful, theatrical, and intense.

A vibrant, pop art style painting depicting a distressed woman looking at her phone. The artwork is executed in the style of mid-20th-century comic books, featuring thick black outlines, flat fields of color, and dots that are visible on close inspection. The central figure is a woman with striking blue hair, wearing a light-colored dress or shirt. Her face is pale and her eyes are wide with alarm as she stares down and slightly to the left at a smartphone held in her left hand. Her right hand is raised, with a single finger touching her heavily made-up lower lip, a classic gesture of shock or worry. Her lips are painted a bright red, matching the polish on her long fingernails. Above her head, a white speech bubble with a thick black outline emanates from her mouth, containing the bold, black, all-caps text: #OMG!! I THINK I M BEING UNFOLLOWED! The background of the image is a gradient transitioning from a bright orange at the top to a darker, more subdued red or orange near the middle and sides. A small, circular, stamp-like logo with text and an insignia is visible in the bottom right corner of the painting. The artwork captures a sense of modern digital anxiety presented through a retro aesthetic.

Tried to convince my wife we need “I’m a single dad!” and “I’m a single mum!” shirts to wear next time all three of our adult kids are home at the same time. It’s not an idea she took to with great enthusiasm.
