When the dog is so excited to go out that she puts your shoe on herself. Going outside means shoes must be put on, she's helping!!
The body and legs of a small golden retriever, one of her front paws is inside my shoe (a green Vans trainer). You can also see my legs, one foot has the other green shoe on and one only has a sock on...

Sleepy baby at the barbers!!! 🥹
A black cat with white paws is sleeping on a leather seat. The cat is bent in half, in like a c shape, with his back paws outstretched and his front paws stretched out resting on top of the back paws. His head is buried in between his paws. A close up of the face and the paws of the cat, with toe beans visible.

This bit needs explaining!! What do you mean there's another toilet perpendicular with no partition at all?
A screenshot of part of the floorplan for the above linked house showing one of the bathrooms. It contains 3 toilets, 2 are next to each other and separated by a partition, and the third is at a right angle to one of the other two with no partition or obvious separation at all.

It summarises the top 3 most submitted content warnings in each section. But if you click "see all" then you can see every content warning submitted for each section and how many users submitted that warning. It looks like this! (But obviously the list is longer than this one screenshot)
The "see all" page of the content warnings section for Legendborn by Tracy Deonn. It says that this book doesn't have any author approved content warnings, and then lists the user submitted warnings. This screenshot shows the start of the "graphic" warnings section, with each warning added separately with a number in brackets beside it.

Storygraph has trigger warnings! They're usually user-added, so not from the author, but I've always found them to be accurate! Users can add them as part of their review. As an example here's the trigger warnings from Legendborn by Tracy Deonn, which just happens to be the book I'm reading.
A screenshot of the storygraph page for Legendborn which shows the content warnings for that book. It reads: "Content Warnings Submitted by users as part of their reviews Graphic Racism, Death of parent, Grief Moderate Slavery, Rape, Car accident Minor Sexual assault

What are your thoughts on spray paint and graffiti painted on brick? (Like, murals not tagging)
A picture of the mural about Palestine in Belfast. It shows two panels: one with a man carrying a child with a destroyed city behind him, and one with a child sitting in front of a Palestine flag with white doves flying in front of it. There's a ribbon with text that is part of a poem, it reads "if I must die you must live, to tell my story, to sell my things".

There's also this, which feels a bit 🤢 but is better than the standard union jack I guess
A flag hanging on the railings of a balcony, the flag is a rainbow pride flag with an overlay of the cross shape from the union jack flag. The flag is also hanging upside down, it's unknown whether this is intentional and the owners are in distress or not...

I don't have any from uni (I had an extremely boring time), but my high school age one is when we stole ALL the accoutrements from the nearby roadworks and filled our garden when having a party.
(They were later used as makeshift shelter by the people who decided to sleep outside in the rabbit run.)
Two people dancing in a garden at night time surrounded by roadworks signs and reflective barriers. One of them is balancing on a traffic cone The same garden in daylight, with roadsigns and red barriers littered across the grass. A person stands in the foreground playing with a broken hula hoop. A rabbit run with a makeshift bed inside it - a nest of pillows and duvets - with a person lying in it. The rabbit run is covered by the reflective barriers from picture one (along with a large yellow square), and the person from picture two is poking the person lying down with the broken hula hoop.

Extremely strong and very accurate branding for this book, which I absolutely loved (and am now at an author event for).
A picture of the book 'Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil' by V.E. Schwab, along with a bright yellow tote bag emblazoned with the words "TOXIC LESBIAN VAMPIRES".

Waiting to see when our PM, famous for all his u-turns, will switch from a "focus on de-escalation" to "actually Blair did pretty well from doing lots of war crimes, let's emulate that!!".
A screenshot from a BBC News article. At the top is a picture of Kier Starmer with the caption "Starmer says his focus is on 'de-escalation'". The rest of the article visible reads: "Sir Keir Starmer has warned of a "risk of escalation" to the Middle East and beyond the region, as he calls for a return to the negotiating table after the US bombed Iranian nuclear sites overnight. The prime minister said he wanted to "reassure the British public that we're doing everything we can to stabilise the situation" and find a diplomatic solution after the US bombed three sites. He added the government had "taken all necessary measures" to protect UK interests in the region but his focus was on de-escalation. Sir Keir said there was no UK involvement in the US action but he was told about it in advance."

There's a weather warning for one tomorrow already, so no begging needed 🤷🏻‍♂️ (Though it does say scattered, so maybe begging is required to direct it specifically to where you are)
A screenshot of Google showing there's a moderate thunderstorm warning for the north of england, specifying scattered thunderstorms developing on Saturday afternoon and lasting through the evening.

Unrelated to the thread but I hate hate hate that bsky sometimes cuts off skeets for no reason when it's in a thread! I don't want to have to click onto each individual post to be able to read all of the words 😭
A screenshot of the post I am replying to, in situ in the thread. The last word of the post ("terrible") has been cut off!

A screenshot of a BBC news article in the app with a blue arrow pointed to the "share" icon. A screenshot of the same page, but after clicking on the icon. There's now a popup at the bottom of the screen which shows the option to share to some different places. At the top of the popup, with another blue arrow pointing to it, is the headline and link to the article with a copy/copy to clipboard icon next to it.

The headline is different when you click on it, but it's still the same in the preview in the app - as is often the way! (It's sadly a common tactic for stories to have a normal title and a clickbait-y one)
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
A screenshot of the BBC News app showing several articles, but circled in blue is the article about Gary Lineker that was screenshotted in the original post. The headline for the article reads: "Gary Lineker could not keep quiet. In the end, it finished his BBC career".

A photo of a PowerPoint slide on a television screen. In the top left corner is the title of the episode: "Crows, Anime, Parties". The slide is titled "Regular TV" and shows a drawing of a horse that is incredibly detailed at the tail end and gets progressively worse from left to right into a stick figure type drawing. The horse is bisected through with lines splitting it into sections; the detailed drawing section is labelled "Season 1-3", with the next three sections labelled 4, 5, and 6 corresponding to the decline in quality of the drawing. On the far right, next to the horse, is a very simple drawing of a cock and balls, which is labelled "Season 7". Subtitles can also be seen on the screen, which read "seasons one through three for a good TV show"

We as a society should bring back men in stockings and little heels!
A painting of King Louis XIV where's he's wearing a big black curly wig and an elaborate tunic/cape. The cape is parted to show off his very shapely legs clad in white stockings and white shoes with a red high heel (2" high probably?).

The t-shirt I got for my birthday the other day seems very apt today tbh. Pls will the government just leave us alone and stop being prejudiced
A selfie showing just my torso. I'm wearing a black t-shirt with an image of Jane Austen wearing white heart shaped sunglasses whose lenses are the gay pride flag. Below her is white text that reads "more pride less prejudice", and the word pride is also rainbow coloured. I am also wearing a green cardigan patterned with bookshelves and plants.

Update:
The wait time is now 2 AND A HALF YEARS, so I'm even more glad I managed to get in so quickly.
A screenshot of my library app (BorrowBox) showing the ebook of the new Hunger Games book, Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins. There is an arrow drawn on the screenshot helping to highlight when the book will be available, and the date is 28/09/2027. The book was released TODAY, 18/03/2025.
