My wife is like, “Margot doesn’t love me 😔” meanwhile, these are the snaps I wake up too
A close-up portrait of a tortoiseshell cat resting on a light-colored surface. The cat has wide green eyes, upright ears, and a distinctive split-colored face with dark and orange markings, including a small light patch on the nose. Its body is tucked comfortably beneath it, and the soft indoor lighting highlights the rich, mottled pattern of its fur, giving the image an alert yet calm, affectionate feel.

I have a ball valve (top left) in our basement, but these are the other kinds. See alt text for this description if the pic isn’t clear
An informational graphic titled “4 Most Common Types of Valves.” The image shows four different plumbing valve types with photos and brief explanations. At the top left is a ball valve with a red lever handle, described as looking like a switch and turning on or off by rotating 90 degrees. Below it is a gate valve with a round red handle, described as resembling a typical outdoor faucet and turned clockwise to shut off or counterclockwise to turn on. At the lower left is a globe valve with a wheel-style handle, compared to a steering wheel and operated by turning right to close and left to open. On the bottom right is a supply stop valve, shown as a small oval-shaped valve, also turned clockwise to shut off and counterclockwise to turn on. The layout uses red labels, black explanatory text, and product photos on a white background.

For your consideration I present, Margot-Rita as the Menacing Loaf
A tortoiseshell cat sits loafed on a textured fabric couch, paws tucked neatly underneath its body. The cat’s coat blends dark brown, black, and muted orange, with a small light patch around the nose that stands out against its face. Its green eyes are half-lidded and focused forward, giving an expression that reads as calm, watchful, and mildly unimpressed. A reddish throw pillow rests to the right, adding contrast to the otherwise neutral-toned scene. The overall mood feels quiet and domestic, like a moment of settled vigilance in a familiar spot.

some cool stuff you should look up 🥰
A meme image featuring Marge Simpson from The Simpsons, shown from the waist up in her green dress and red necklace, smiling and gesturing with an open hand. A white rectangular text box floats above her hand listing the phrases “General Strike,” “Jury Nullification,” and “25th Amendment.” At the bottom of the image, the caption reads, “I just think they’re neat.” The image uses Marge’s cheerful expression and casual pose to humorously juxtapose lighthearted enthusiasm with serious political and civic concepts.

*slaps side of bacta tank*
A crudely rendered split-image meme. On the left, Luke Skywalker is shown suspended upright inside a glowing blue bacta tank, wearing white medical briefs and breathing through tubes, a scene from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back depicting his recovery after severe injuries. On the right is a simplified cartoon illustration known as the “Slaps Roof of Car” meme: two men in business attire, one gesturing confidently with an open hand as if pitching or explaining something, while the other listens thoughtfully with a hand to his chin. The meme juxtaposes Luke’s dramatic sci-fi healing scene with the explanatory sales-pitch format for humorous effect.

These type of spamy fundraising emails are 100% contributing to the crisis of elders being scammed online
A screenshot of an email message titled “SOCIAL SECURITY UPDATE,” received at 3:24 PM. The subject line reads “We need your signature,” and the email is branded with the name “ForwardBlue” in large white text on a dark background. The body of the message begins with an alert warning that Donald Trump and Republican members of Congress are allegedly planning to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The text uses urgent language, capital letters, and exclamation points to emphasize alarm and encourage action. The email appears in a dark-mode email interface, with sender and reply-to information visible at the top.

Every year, my partner & I ring in the New Year by ordering a bunch of takeaway and watching a load of holiday adjacent films, which always culminates in When Harry Met Sally.
As a kid, this was one of my favorite movies. RIP Rob Reiner, RIP Carrie Fisher, RIP Bruno Kirby. Don’t Fuck with Mr. Zero
Screen cap from When Harry met Sally, Harry and Sally sit in the front seats of a car during a long road trip from Chicago to New York. Harry (Billy Crystal) is in the passenger seat, slouched slightly and staring ahead with a bored, mildly annoyed expression, signaling his cynical and impatient personality. Sally (Meg Ryan) drives, sitting upright and focused on the road, talking continuously with an earnest, animated expression that contrasts sharply with Harry’s mood. The back seat is packed with luggage and personal belongings, emphasizing the length of the trip and the forced closeness between the two characters. The scene is viewed through the windshield, keeping both characters in frame at the same time, allowing their facial expressions and body language to play off each other. The moment highlights their opposing temperaments—Harry’s dry skepticism versus Sally’s energetic optimism—and establishes the conversational tension that defines their relationship throughout When Harry Met Sally.

I’m about to go up to the lab and see what’s on the slab.

#BookSky
A close-up view of the book Vagabond: A Memoir by Tim Curry. The cover features a black-and-white photograph of a young Tim Curry seated outdoors, wearing a coat and scarf, looking directly at the camera. The title appears prominently, with “Tim Curry” in black and “Vagabond” in red text. In the blurred background, colorful artwork (promotional print for the Rocky Horror Picture Show) and figurines (Char’s Zaku II and EVAs) create a contrasting, vibrant backdrop behind the book.

Happy Holidays from Margot-Rita & Sadie-belle
Margot giving her notice of violation regarding personal space face. A close-up portrait of a tortoiseshell cat with wide green eyes, resting beneath a Christmas tree. Soft white string lights and dark green pine branches frame the cat’s head, while a red fabric edge appears in the foreground. The warm, low lighting creates a cozy, intimate holiday atmosphere. Sadie loves sweaters but hates photos. Alt-text: A brindle-coated dog sits on a small leopard-print mat on a wooden floor, looking back over its shoulder toward the camera. The dog is wearing a white sweater decorated like a snowman, with simple black shapes and orange and red accents. Warm indoor lighting highlights the dog’s expressive eyes and gives the scene a cozy, playful feel. Margot experiencing altered states beneath the Christmas tree. Or a close-up of a tortoiseshell cat peeking out from beneath a Christmas tree. The cat’s wide, reflective eyes look upward through green pine branches lit with small white lights. A red fabric beneath the tree adds a warm contrast, creating a cozy, slightly mischievous holiday scene.

Being able to speak a little bit of the language goes a long way, and I feel like there were quite a few experiences. I would have missed out if I had relied solely on translation devices.
A stylized photo of Namba Yasaka Shrine in Osaka. A fair description might be: A close-up view of a large sculpted lion-dog guardian (komainu) head, commonly found at Japanese shrines. The pale stone face features wide eyes, curled eyebrows, and prominent gold-colored teeth, giving it a fierce yet protective expression. Green trees and part of a modern building appear in the background, contrasting traditional symbolism with an urban setting. A Yamato Transport refrigerated delivery truck parked along a narrow city street in Japan. The small box truck has a white cargo compartment with teal accents and displays the black cat carrying a kitten logo, along with Japanese text indicating refrigerated delivery service. The teal cab faces forward, while nearby buildings, scaffolding, and a gas station in the background place the scene in an urban neighborhood during daylight. On a residential Street in Kyoto, two ceramic tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog) statues sit side by side on a doorstep in front of a textured wall and sliding door. The larger tanuki, male,holds a small green frog, while the smaller one, female, wears a straw hat decorated with a flower. Both figures have rounded bellies, expressive wide eyes, and glossy glazed surfaces, giving them a playful, welcoming appearance typical of traditional Japanese storefront and home decorations. A stylized photo from Fushiminaei-taisha in Kyoto, Japan best described as: a forested shrine pathway densely lined with small vermilion torii gates climbing up a moss-covered hillside. Stone steps and lanterns are interspersed among the gates, many partially weathered and covered in green moss. Two traditional lanterns glow softly in the foreground, while tall trees surround the scene, creating a layered, atmospheric view that feels sacred and secluded.

It’s taken me a while to pinpoint where the feeling of calm came from. I think part of it was all the rules. Not the rules themselves, but rather the ease and comfort that is created by there being a genuine sense and understanding that the rules are for everyone and let everyone enjoy public spaces
A bright daytime view of the tenchu (castle tower) of Himeji-Jo (castle), in Himeji Japan, rising above stone walls and trees. The white multi-tiered structure features layered gray tiled roofs and ornate architectural details, standing prominently against a blue sky filled with large white clouds. Green foliage in the foreground partially frames the castle, adding depth and contrast to the scene. An urban scene of a canal lined with stone embankments runs straight through a Sapporo in autumn. Trees along both sides display orange, red, and yellow leaves, with fallen leaves scattered on the walkways. A small bridge crosses the canal in the distance, while mid-rise buildings frame the scene. The Sapporo TV tower, tall red-and-white, rises behind the trees under an overcast gray sky, giving the image a calm, seasonal atmosphere. A traditional Japanese wall painting depicting a stylized pine tree with a thick, twisting trunk and layered blue-green needles. The artwork is painted on wooden panels and framed by red architectural elements, on the exterior of a photo-friendly area of the Sensō-ji (shrine). The composition is symmetrical and calm, emphasizing natural forms and classical Japanese aesthetics. The washed out visage of Mount Hakodate observatory atop forested hillside in rises behind a cluster of low-rise residential buildings. The slope is covered in trees showing muted fall colors—greens, yellows, and browns—and topped with a group of structures and antennas near the summit. In the foreground, apartment buildings, rooftops, and utility lines frame the base of the hill, contrasting urban elements with the natural landscape.

After having been back for a month from my first time in Japan, aside from the beauty and interestingness of the various cities, cultural venues, and amusements, the first thing that comes to mind when asked about my trip is that it was the most peaceful experience of my life.
A towering life-size statue of the Unicorn Gundam robot statue illuminated at night, standing in a wide-legged pose with clenched fists. The white mecha is accented by glowing red lights across its chest, arms, and legs, creating a dramatic contrast against the dark sky. Modern buildings with lit windows surround the statue, and a plaza with stairs, signage, and a few small figures of people emphasizes the robot’s massive scale. A high-altitude aerial view from the Tokyo Sky Tree of a dense cityscape (Tokyo) at sunset, showing tightly packed buildings stretching to the horizon. A wide river curves through the city from foreground to distance, crossed by multiple bridges. The sky fades from pale blue to soft pink and orange clouds, while the uniform grid of low- and mid-rise buildings emphasizes the vast scale and density of the urban landscape. A quiet street scene outside a small Tokyo storefront. A tall vertical sign with black Japanese characters stands on the sidewalk next to two orange traffic cones. A light blue bicycle with a front basket is parked against the building. The shop has a green awning and a shuttered window with English text reading “COFFEE & SANDWICH” and “Candy,” along with smaller Japanese lettering. The setting feels calm and residential, with muted colors and early-day light. A distant view of Mount Fuji rising above a wide urban landscape and shoreline. The snow-capped peak sits beneath layered gray clouds, with a band of low clouds wrapping around the mountain’s midsection. In the foreground, a coastal city with dense buildings, ports, and water stretches across the frame, emphasizing the scale and calm atmosphere of the scene.

Repurposed Brazil mentioned meme with anime-style illustration featuring the character Yui Hirasawa from K-ON! with short brown hair wearing a pink and white outfit. She holds a wine bottle in one hand and an empty wine glass in the other, with a drowsy, slightly drunk expression on her face. Above her head, large bold red text reads “BERSERK,” and below her, white text outlined in black reads “MENTIONED.” The image humorously implies someone overreacting or celebrating whenever the dark fantasy manga Berserk is brought up in conversation.

Album: From Florida’s Finest

#vinylcollection
Surreal album cover artwork for From Florida’s Finest by Sailorr. The image features a stylized, dreamlike composition of a woman in a pink bikini and tiara, repeated in a sequence of progressively smaller versions of herself in a crouching pose. Each figure has detailed tattoos and wears pink accessories, with the smallest versions taking on increasingly surreal and insectoid appearances, a’la Animorphs. The background is a soft gradient of pink and lavender clouds. A bright yellow vinyl record with a center label featuring the “FFF” logo in bold yellow text on a pink background. The label includes the artist’s logo and denotes “SIDE A” and “33 RPM.” The record is resting on a white sleeve and partially over the album’s inner artwork.

Almost done with this, and it’s been a joy in and of itself, but even more so because of all the connections in pop culture it clearly inspired. #BookSky
