Portrait of a girl who is really annoyed with the noise that a bike trainer makes
The back of a cat's head and neck. She is tortoiseshell, mostly black with flecks of orange mixed in, and her ears are rather bald. She is lying on my arm; I am wearing a white shirt with multicolored checks.

A meme that depicts the Grim Reaper in heaven beside a dead "102.1." 102.1 asks, Was I a good radio station? The Grim Reaper says "no, but now I have to find a new radio to listen to for the 90 seconds between turning off Bluetooth and getting out of the car."

ProQuest's AI summary of "Sexual Communication Needs of African American Families in Relation to Faith-Based HIV Prevention" (Cornelius 2013) says that "Believing in God brings meaning and significance in life" although the article makes no such claims.
