I got that too and I hate it 😭 I love my lock screen wallpaper.

A sticker with the text "I have" on the top and "anxiety" on the bottom. Between them there is a pink bunny with butterfly wings, a bow tie, and a heart-shaped eye patch inside a corner glass bottle. Surrounding the bottle are spiky vines and mushrooms in psychedelic colours.

Image of an old stone sewer with a black metal walkway built through for tourism. The sewer ceiling is around 10 feet above the walkway, and it is around 15 feet from side wall to side wall. The walkway follows the course of the sewer and runs straight ahead in the foreground before turning 45° right in the background, where three people can be seen walking towards the photographer. The atmosphere is moody because of the red light shining up the walls from below the walkway. One the left wall is a pattern resembling blue fish, also made of light. About halfway down the walkway there is a square of light on the ceiling, showing where an old venting shaft used to be. This image was taken in the Montreal Museum of archeology and history, which I highly recommend going to.

A photo where in the foreground there is a metal angel statue and roof (both copper and green with oxidation). Behind it is the rooftop and dome of the Bonsecours Market building, with more buildings in the background. The left side of the photo shows Rue Commune and a line of trees and store awnings. The atmosphere is dreary, as the weather is overcast with some light rain. Photo taken from the top Belvedere of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Not a professional photographer by any means, but occasionally get some good/interesting images(a short🧵).

A photo of a car's driver's side mirror, taken from the driver's seat. In the mirror you can see 4 lanes of cars stopped at a light 60 feet back, and the spire of St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church is perfectly framed between buildings on the driver's right and trees on the driver's left. This photo was taken on Blv Rene-Levesque E in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Now I know why I hate the back of these things so much 😵
Angled view of the back of a white 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe. It looks remarkably like the back of a cyber truck with the cap on the bed.

The Devil in the White City, it's about the construction of the 1894 worlds fair in Chicago, and the story of H.H.Holmes that intertwines with it.
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. Murder, magic, and madness at the fair that changed America. The cover notes that the book is a national book aware finalist.

Cover of the 2010 reprint of the 1952 novel by David Montore "Murder over Dorval". The cover features a dead man sitting in an airplane seat, a woman behind him looking concerned, and a stewardess in front of him looking scared.

Perfection
A Louvre of Bluesky post with a woman saying calling trump and musk "two fighting girls" is misogynistic, with a post immediately below it where a woman says how cringy it is to watch two dudes fighting like teenage girls. This post has more likes than the misogyny post.

A picture of an easy hiking path near Armstrong, British Columbia. The path is through a rocky ravine with very tall trees. One tree has fallen and is resting against the opposite wall, far above the railinged path.

If you give a lawn-mowing man a beer, he's going to want you to listen as he talks about his project car.

@kristenperrin.bsky.social Very excited for book #29 of the year!

The cover of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, featuring most of a rat, a note that it is the author's preferred text, and a review from William Gibson: A writer of rare perception and endless imagination.

Case in point....
A screen shot of Bluesky notifications showing and individual following me, and then tagging me in a post begging for money. Screenshot of an account posting the same message multiple times per minute while tagging different people. It is clearly spam.

The Far Side comic by Gary Larson. A boy is pushing on a door labelled "pull" and the sign in front of the building says "Midvale School for the Gifted". As an identified gifted student I can confirm I do this more than I'd like to admit.

Finished The Housemaid's Secret yesterday, on to Pagans by James Alistair Henry. The Waterstones special edition version is GORGEOUS.
Dust jacket cover of Pagans by James Alistair Henry. "Pagans. Two cops. One killer. Hundreds of gods." A copy of Pagans with no dust jacket on stands up on top of two copies with the dust jacket on, one so you can the spine and the other so you can see the sprayed edge opposite the spine.

Repost with your favourite Doctor Who.
Wrong answers only:
Hawkeye and Trapper "operating" on a patient during an episode of M*A*S*H entitled "Yankee Doodle Doctor". Cpl Radar O'Reilly of M*A*S*H is laying down and looking up at an off-screen character, asking if they are the Yankee Doodle Doctor.

Finished Once of Us Knows by @alyssacolelit.bsky.social (5/5, loved it).

Used a random number generator to pick my next book out of my pile and got Hitler's Holy Relics by Sidney Kirkpatrick.
Cover of Hitler's Holy Relics by Sidney Kirkpatrick. "A true story of Nazi plunder and the race to recover the crown jewels of the holy Roman empire." The cover has no illustrations other than a swastika replacing the "O" in Holy.
