Without downloading any new pics describe your gender

It's the end of an era folks. I'd like to take a moment to thank Fio for 11.5 excellent years (and 90k miles!) of shenanigans and mostly good times.
And now I'd like to introduce the newest member of the team, Kanuka. She's got a bright future in the shenanigans department.

Last week vs this week

Clearly too many big trucks making this turn lol
A pedestrian crossing button and sign on a scuffed metal pole. The sign has several deep gouges scarring its right edge, and the metal is bent. The sign is also noticeably crooked. The same crosswalk button and sign, only this time the sign has been pulled forward, with the back bracket snapped, so now it's tilted down like it's had a rough day. Which, in fairness, it has

Like fucking clockwork

Also, what letter, why is it to Jimmy, and how does a letter go bonkers???
A fundraising text from "ProChoiceDems" that says "Our letter to Jimmy Kimmel is going BONKERS "Sign in support of Kimmel after ABC caved to Trump & fired him" It includes a link to sign or give them money or whatever these useless grifters want today

Today I learned what being stewed in your own juices feels like
Me (middle aged white lady) wearing a hooded tyvek suit, respirator, and black latex gloves, surrounded by dirty basement detritus. I'm giving a thumbs-up, but the exhaustion in my eyes tells the real story

Shoutout to trains for being garbage at hills, as I am also garbage at hills and would not be able to enjoy cycling in my area without our extensive rail trails
A photo of abandoned railroad tracks alongside a flat stretch of paved trail. On the right, the back of a street sign can be seen poking out from the bushes a good 5+ feet above the trail, indicating where a road climbs uphill

Post a random picture or else everything will go bad in September.
A screenshot from the Hammock Town website, showing different sections of the site for shoppers to browse: Arne Jacobsen (which shows a chair, not a hammock), Aruba Hammocks, Balcony Hammocks, Banana Hammocks (modeled by a muscular man with very round buttocks), Bed Canopies, and Boho Style Hammocks and Macrame

Making stencils is hard when you forget to buy new knife blades 🫠
An old, worn x-acto knife, with an equally worn blade in it. If you look closely, the blade no longer has a sharp tip, and there are nicks and dings all over it. Before the knife is a design taped to a plastic sheet, a few letters have already been cut out

Never looked under this old dining set before, what a blast from the past

Guessed meh, got meh, though I thought the Rangers might drag it down further
ESPN screen showing my Misery Rating is 44, a "Meh" rating. There's a triangle sarcastically waving a flag and the logos of my five selected teams: Mets, Liberty, Gotham FC, Knicks, and NY Rangers

Okay, select the Mets and... I... yeah 😂

I'm at a stage of my life where I'd seriously consider giving up spicy hatchbacks if an amusing sports ute hit the market

I was about to go to bed when I noticed something odd on the window casing and... wtf, how did you get in here!? And how did neither cat notice!?
A small frog hanging out upside down on a wide window casing next to an accordion blind Same tiny frog, now safely confined to a takeout container so the cats don't get to it before I can release it outside

It's like if Joe Dirt ran Jurassic Park

I bought a new bottle for my bike yesterday and Trek is adamant I only put water in it 😂
A set of 3 square images of things the manufacturer does not want me to put in my new bottle. Each image has a diagonal line crossing it out leading to an x in the bottom right corner. 1. Depicts a carton of milk being poured in the bottle 2. Shows a glass of wine being poured in the bottle 3. Shows an open bottle next to a hamburger while a can of presumably soda is poured into it

A photo of a crochet project using pink self-striping yarn. The color change does a great job of highlighting how I'm about 12 stitches short of yarn to finish the current round

Munch birdhouse

A birdhouse attached to a tree painted with a design inspired by Munch's The Scream. The round entrance hole serves as the figure's gaping mouth

No more balls means no more fighting and look how handsome my TNRed buddy Luci has become! 😻
A large black feral cat huddles in a trap. His face is covered with scars from fighting with other male cats. You can't see it in this pic but his "elbows" were also horribly scabbed from constant fighting The same large black cat sitting in some grass. His face and legs have healed nicely, and he is very handsome
