Reverting to true form #bigolemo #fringesandfeelings #mykingdomforahaircut
Rachel, a white lady with brown eyes and dark brown hair - what she has freshly dyed that colour - just past jaw-length, looks into the camera with an expression of accomplishment, as she has restored her OG (emo) self. Her fringe is too long and swept to one side (of course), and she is wearing a burgundy sweatshirt (less appropriate).

@sandraduffy.bsky.social the birds. always.
A screenshot from Rachel’s Bluesky timeline, showing a post Sandra reposted which says ‘can cis people please have the decency to do the tiniest modicum of research before writing about trans people?’, followed by an Effin Birds post of an affronted-looking red, orange and black bird with the capitalised caption ‘did you make up all this bullshit yourself, or did you ask a fuckin’ robot to do it?’

Me trying to wean myself off Diet Coke because the dentist finally snapped and put the fear of God in me
Gollum/Sméagol from Lord of the Rings, a hunched, bald humanoid creature wearing a loincloth, talking to himself in a cave. He is saying ‘we wants it. We needs it. We must have the precious,’ looking most aggrieved.

The Kpop girlies do be knowing how to merch
A pair of white socks with a black text design of lyrics from K-pop singer Jennie’s song ‘like Jennie’. In bold caps is ‘whoooooooo wanna rock with’, then in a flourishy fancy font ‘Jennie’. Beneath is the description ‘like Jennie socks’ and a small picture of Jennie herself with red hair and lipstick.

The birds never miss 🙏 @effinbirds.com 🙏
A screenshot of Rachel’s Bluesky feed, showing a post linking to an article about an influential US medical journal’s rejection of RFK Jr’s demand that a vaccine study be retracted because he doesn’t like the results of it, followed by an Effin Birds post of a glorious grouchy-looking drawn bird with the caption ‘congratulations on your continuing commitment to being dumb and wrong’

Omg, my late Artiebunny’s dopplebun! (Pls know he was only in his run in the snow while his hutch was being cleaned out, hence his look of indignation)
Art, a chocolate otter coloured (dark brown with cream paws, belly, chin, nose, and inner ears) rex rabbit, is in his metal-barred run standing up on his hind legs. There is snow on the ground and he does not look at all pleased to be out in it, however temporarily. He has left lil bunny footprints everywhere behind him.

Severn Trent Water: doing so well with ‘pronouns’! And then fucking it all off with ‘not on benefits’.
A screenshot from the sign up page for a Severn Trent Water account. There is an input box for you to state your pronouns. It is followed by a drop-down choice input for your employment status, which for some reason includes the option ‘not on benefits’.

Flipping yes mate
A black short-sleeved button-up shirt with a grey floral pattern. It seems to ask ‘haven’t you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?’ yet also ‘hand me a fruity boozedrink with a lil umbrella in it’

Nothing on earth is living its best life quite like this lad. I cannot deal. Everytime I see him I crack up. His FACE. Literal resting 🙂 face. Pure chill. Unruffleable. Has a vague inkling of his inherent colossal power but zero desire to look into it. Too happy. Peace + love. Mine is named Colgate
The Pokémon Togekiss. It is kind of triangular, vaguely bird or plane shaped but very chonky. It looks like it might be made of white marshmallow. On its stomach it has small red and blue triangle markings, and on its head three plumes, one each red, white and blue. It has a very pure delighted expression and is hovering just above the ground with its lil feet together.

MORE LIKES HUZZAH. Will 4real diversify now. Skarmory is the coolest. Don’t need shades, already base cooler than shades. If you can’t feel it idk what to tell you. The GRAVITAS. No-one stands like that if they ain’t the main character. Flying around Johto on this boi got me feeling flyer than a G6
The Pokémon Skarmory, who is a bird made out of silver-coloured metal with red wing ‘feathers’. It has a sharp beak and claws, and a fin-like peak on its head. Its expression suggests extreme swagger.

Especially ESPECIALLY this Eevee omg. It me. It. Me.
Eevee, a puppy/fox-like Pokémon with big ears. Thus particular one, Sandy, has overgrown, ruffled fur, which looks like a shaggy haircut. It is looking a little bashful peeking out from behind its fringe.

A screenshot of Rachel’s Duolingo progress for June, showing that she categorically has not used more than 2 streak freezes in a given week, even though Duo keeps publicly shaming her for supposedly using 3 several weeks on the trot wtf

If you wondered how someone going blind might attempt to do their nails… I have an exclusive 4 u 🧐💅✨ (we are very ingenuitive)
A bottle of sparkly dark silver Revlon nail varnish and a bottle of bright blue Paint N Peel liquid latex are shown next to four fingers, two of them painted. The other two have lines of the blue latex either side of the nail, and one also has a thin curved sticker shaped like a French manicure tip under the edge of the nail. These help Rachel to do a passable manicure even though she is terrible at seeing! Smart.

The stock answer (this gon be real boring if I’m stuck at 2 likes)
The album cover for The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers, which uses the painting ‘Strategy (South Face/Front Face/North Face)’ by Jenny Saville with the album title and band name above, and the album track listing below. The painting shows three different views of a large white lady in white underwear, seemingly looking at herself in the mirror.
