Behold, the barf boy. Pictured here looking like he definitely didn't throw up down the crack between two couch cushions.

How am I supposed to get to work when I've got this laying around?

If you see this, post a vampire who isn't Dracula
Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A white man with blond hair, dressed all in black. He has a big grin on his face and is giving a thumbs-up with both hands.

My first Superman comic! What's yours? #Superman

Admittedly a weird place to start
The cover of a Superman comic book. A tattered red cape with the classic Superman S flutters like a flag on a stick poking out of some rubble. Text at the bottom reads "The Death of Superman" in yellow text.

It's not Vernor's, but a little Michigan medicine always helps.

show a picture in your phone that has your energy but isn’t a selfie
A bird with very long legs stands next to a pair of chicks. It has brown and white feathers, and a look on its face that can only be described as "over it."

I've got this one kicking around somewhere, probably still in a box from the last move
A picture of a book cover, showing an orange kitten laying on a table with a handgun. The text reads "The American Association of Patriots presents: how to talk to your cat about gun safety."

Love that my news updates are all just

I, uh... I'm pretty sure I'm not going to miss any new releases from Michael Crichton.

these tariffs were designed in consultation with my council of economic advisors
The three main villains from Baldur's Gate 3. From left to right: a pale woman in a red leather outfit holds a dagger over her head, a man in heavy armor stands with his hands spread, a man in robes holds his fist over his head.

Donating platelets this morning, I'm kind of in love with this little stress ball guy.
A stress ball shaped like a pill. The top half is pink and has a smiley face. The bottom half is white and says "anything is possible."

Post the first video game you ever played

I'm sure there were earlier ones, but Super Mario World is the first one I have concrete memories of
The box art for the Super Nintendo game Super Mario World. It features Mario, a man in blue overalls and a red shirt, on the back of Yoshi, a cartoon dinosaur with green skin and a white belly.

if you see this, quote with a game you’ve played multiple times

Weird way to meet your brother's plug
Photo from the Nintendo Switch game Mario and Luigi: Brothership. Mario and Luigi stand on the right side of the screen. In the center, a new character is saying "I'm glad you found your brother again." The new character is about half as tall as Luigi and has a feature on their head that resembles an electrical plug.

It's always very cool (and a little disorienting) to see my old writing professor's name in the wild.

And my door dash driver rolled up in basketball shorts and a hoodie. That's pure Michigan.

The oldest selfie on my phone

I think this was a time when Kait's microphone stopped working, so we were recording the IRCB podcast on the same mic.
Picture of a man and woman. The man on the left is smiling, dressed in a blue plaid shirt and blue hoodie. The woman on the right is making an exaggerated concerned expression and wearing a red plaid flannel shirt. There is a round, black microphone in the foreground.

Feeling a little called out, but I'm loving this playlist so I can't exactly dispute it.
Screenshot of a Spotify playlist titled "old punk mall goth late night." The description is "You listened to mid-2000's and piano rock in the late night. Here's some: old punk, old school punk, mall goth, old school emo, mid-2000's, and neon pop punk."

This game rules
Screenshot of video game text. One character says "You can't throw all of life's problems through windows, Jen." The other character replies "Maybe not, but we owe it to ourselves to try."
