So apparently FaceBorg/META sees nothing wrong with this post. I disagree, and I suspect that @mishacollins.bsky.social might not be thrilled about it either.

A screenshot taken of a post on a Facebook page which calls itself “The European Race”. It is composed of a three photo collage; each photo depicts groups of Caucasian people smiling at the camera. The bottom left photo appears to depict three of the stars from the TV series “Supernatural”: Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, and Jared Padalecki. There is text, in white, which reads: “Whites Are Happiest With Our Own Folk!” There is also the page name “The European Race” in white script.

The Youngest Minion of Chaos sent me this earlier this morning:
Two side by side images, one of a lion cub with its mother right behind it, the second of a polar bear coy at the opening of a cave. Mama bear’s face is just barely visible in the shadows, looking at the camera. Caption above both images reads: “Look Mom, I’m scaring them!”

You know who you are. (Yes, *you*)
Image of a sticker which depicts an illustration of a raccoon and an opossum hugging. Test above the illustration reads: “You’re weird”. Below the illustration, it says “I’ll keep you”

This is a conversation that needs to be had.
On the right hand side of the image, the poet Amanda Gorman is shown in 3/4 profile, from mid chest up, wearing a bright yellow dress. She is looking directly at the camera. On the left hand side, is a quote attributed to her: "One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them."

Came across these titles while browsing in a bookshop recently. Zeus was most disappointed I didn’t find a book with his name in the title.
Image description: a book cover showing an ancient military helmet in brass, on a turquoise blue background. The book title, printed in black, reads “The Song of Achilles”, by Madeline Miller (author information is not visible in the shot) A red seal indicates the book has won the Orange Prize for fiction. Image Description: a book cover with a stylised image of a woman with long flowing black hair, wearing a tiara and a toga. Her pupils are glowing white, and there are three small lightning bolts radiating upwards from her left shoulder. The book title reads: “Hera”, a novel by Jennifer Saint. It also says “By the author of Ariadne” Image Description: profile view of a large brindle dog wearing a blue nylon collar, who refuses to look at the camera. The photographer’s arm is visible around the dog’s shoulder.

Oh look! It’s here!

(She said, pretending to be all cool and sophisticated ’n shit)

Reality: literally squee’d out loud. The dog was Concerned (at least until she confirmed it wasn’t snacks)

(Read this book last year, but when I received a gift card at Christmas …)

This handsome boi. Photobomb by Cleo™️

#Achilles
A large, full-faced ginger tabby cat, lying on a plush light cream blanket, looking directly at the camera, almost smiling. Standing overtop of him is a small calico cat, who decided to photobomb the portrait. She too is looking at the camera, although her full face is not quite in the shot.

The blanket was Alive …

(But I forgot to switch to video, so you’ll have to take my word for it)

That time I knit a tuque for @lyledal.bsky.social (2019)
Frontal view of a handknit tuque sitting on a mannequin head. It is maroon in colour with a white death lilly motif worked into it. The yarn is custom-dyed pure alpaca. Same tuque as the previous photo, this time lying flat on a dark countertop to better show the death lilly motif.

Sticking with the cat theme for a hot minute- some of the grandcats:

From left to right, Miss Murder Mittens, Little Ittle, and the late KitKat.
A very fluffy dark grey cat with white paws strides purposefully towards the camera. A large eyed, medium haired diminutive ginger tabby looks up entreatingly at the camera while standing at the top of a carpeted staircase. A largely black Norwegian Forest kitten perches on a woman’s shoulder, looking directly at the camera.

With cats, it’s always better to over-tip when they demand tribute.

😆this photo is from a few years ago, when he was still a Chonk. He’s a healthy weight now, and looks younger, in spite of being 11 … (but still looks like an old man here 😝)
A large ginger tabby perches on the shoulder of a young woman, refusing to look directly at the camera.

Ooh … as the hu-mum of a reactive dog, I rather appreciate this …
A medium sized white with black markings mix-breed dog with corkscrew ears cocks her head whilst looking inquisitively at the viewer. She lies on the floor with her left front leg extended past the edge of the frame.

Apparently one must post a picture of a cat as part of the BlueSky Initiation Protocol. I was not aware of this when I joined, so shall now post two cats as penance:

Achilles on the left, Cleo (grandcat) on the right
Two cats, one a large ginger tabby, the other a smaller but chubby calico, snuggled together on a chesterfield. A Christmas tree with multicoloured lights can be seen in the background.

Hera wants everyone to note that it was NOT her that crop dusted her mum … (this time)
Portrait-style picture of a predominantly white medium sized mixed-breed dog with black ears and mask, looking directly at the camera while cocking her head slightly.

It’s also Election Day in Manitoba. Hoping my fellow ’Tobans take the opportunity to exercise their right to vote.
