me addressing various adhesions

A photograph with the vibe of early 2000s digital photography, taken from a low position as if the photographer is sitting on a nearby couch. In a living room, a man sits on a couch in frame, leaning back with his hands held up and shoulders hunched in surprise, face captured in open-mouthed mid scream. Standing above him a yard away is a person in a cookie monster costume, closing much of the distance between them with a handgun held at the blue fuzzy end an outstretched arm. Cookie monster's expressionless gaping visage points downward towards the man at the couch, following an invisible line down and through the pistol, meeting the couch man's gaze. His eyes are no more than painted ping pong balls, but they embody the intrinsic chaos on display

burned my mouth because my mug of warm milk turned out to be a mug of hot milk

a photograph of mads mikkelsen from the bust up in a suit and tie, the flash illuminating his relaxed face. everything else is darkness, his suit jacket blending in with the background. white text edited in says, simply, "enough."

Screenshot of an excerpt from an article: "However, Brady says, the findings suggest that clinicians need to pay better attention to best practice guidelines, and that patients “must advocate for themselves in the clinical setting and when measuring their BP at home.”"

least favorite part of growing out the male pattern baldness has gotta be The Tuft

i have great news about my eyelids

a collage of immages on a white background: cutouts of low resolution kittens with the text "WOO!" "YAY!", a labeled illustration of the parts of the eye with small text not intent to be read in the meme, an image of The Ordinary's glycolic acid toner. overlayed on top is glowing gold text reading "MILIA DESTROYED" with a semi-opaque black gradient behind, referencing dark souls.

roadrunner who creeped up on me in october

a photograph of a roadrunner standing atop a dark, pock-marked volcanic rock. dry desert brush surround it in the foreground and the background, with muted yellow flowers. the roadrunner is semi alert, the dark blue crest of feathers on its head raised, while its tail remains low.
