Omg they look so good! I used to work at a bakery where they made red velvet whoopie pies, brought back a whole bunch of memories haha
Red velvet whoopie pies stacked on a green glass cake stand and a sign that reads “Red Velvet Whoopie Pie $2.25”. Cookies and other baked goods can also be seen around the whoopie pies.

Last hike of the year (?) so had to do it big! Finally did one I’ve been wanting to do for years, Inspiration Point in Angeles National Forest #hikes #inspirationpoint #definitelyinspired #waswired #thentired #hopefullysoonillbehired #refrigerator
Inspiration Point shelter outlook with two signs underneath its awnings. The middle sign reads “Inspiration Point” while the other under the right awning reads “World famous telescope view overlooking 3,000 square miles and Catalina Island - 75 miles away. Don’t miss this scene - look for mountains on the moon”. The peak of a mountain can be seen rising above the fog of the valley. View from the shelter of the valley, nestled between the hills. 15 pipes are arranged pointing in different directions toward different cities and destinations. Signs on the pipes from left to right: “Locating Pasadena” “Locating Ostrich Farms” “Locating Silverlake” “Locating Los Angeles” “Locating Redondo Beach” “Locating Catalina Island” “Locating the Rose Bowl” “Locating San Pedro” View of the valley shrouded in fog with 3 or 4 mountains visible

Wish I could've gone #commityourcode, but at least I can watch online! Have a great time all of you attending!!

My mouse cursor's hovering over "Shoes" because I didn't move it out of the way.

Omg yes thank you! Trying to find the thinnest consistent pen so adding that to the list too! My current fave is my Muji .38, but all the stores around me closed down 😩

Hahaha I’m completely in the rabbit hole for pens so no worries I totally feel you on that 🤣 this review for Hi-Tec-C got me too 😂
Amazon review describing the thinness of a pen, stating “You could write on a molecule” and “Writes so small I couldn't even see it. No flow, no thickness, but it's an invisible ink to anyone over 40.”

A picture doesn’t do this painting justice, but this was amazing to see in person! “The Retrospective 2002 - 2022” by Raqib Shaw, there’s 68 of his other paintings in this 🤯😱
Raqib Shaw’s “The Retrospective 2002 - 2022” which features 68 of his other paintings. Most adorn the walls of the expansive gallery, while others line the floors and halls. The description for the painting and a diagram of all the other paintings within. The description reads: “The Retrospective 2002-22 2015-22 Acrylic liner, enamel, and rhinestones on aluminum Seven years in the making, Raqib Shaw's The Retrospective encapsulates both the artist's career and his delight in artistic quotations. The composition reworks Giovanni Paolo Panini's Picture Gallery with Views of Modern Rome (1757), in which Panini's paintings are arranged within an imposing if invented) gallery space. Shaw substitutes his own paintings, and richly attired and masked, he stands on a platform of shipping crates, gesturing like a conjuring magician or an orchestra conductor. Shaw cradles his beloved terrier, Mr. C, in one arm, and waves a toilet plunger instead of a baton in the other.”

A beautiful setting reflects off a tranquil lake - a Chinese pavilion, bridge, and cloudy blue skies are mirrored in the lake’s reflection A zen garden under cloudy blue skies - trees and plants border sand with lines traced through Chinese lake and garden with cloudy skies framing purple mountains. The full spectrum of autumn is on display in the trees and plants, with leaves ranging from orange to red to green. A stone path leads through a verdant trellis covered with flowering plants. The trellis frames an orange sunset layered under gray clouds and blue skies.

I thought you were a Dragonite which, same.
Pokémon comic with Charizard and Gyarados laughing at Dratini for attempting to relate to them as a dragon. Emotional damage, Dratini will remember this. Pokémon comic with Charizard and Gyarados still laughing at Dratini’s evolution, Dragonair. They take it a step further and roast Dragonair’s tail as having a baby rattle. More emotional damage. A fully evolved Dratini takes his revenge on Gyarados and Charizard as Dragonite.
