People are talking about Selena's dress, but I'm talking about the wisdom in the background wearing a face mask.

👏👏👏👏

Dear shopping cart that got shoved somewhere you didn't belong by the sheer force of your environment;

We've all been there.

Signed,
Also can't function from atop a pile of capitalistic cruelties that could have been avoided
A giant pile of snow has a shopping cart sticking out of the top. You can tell the shopping cart is not anywhere it can be used because directly behind it are powerlines and overhead streetlights. Clearly, when the grocery store parking lot was being plowed, there was a rogue shopping cart, and now it sits atop the bank of snow like some sort of crown of winter.

If I manage to assemble a thumb, I'll have made one mitten.

A dark purple crochet mitten with a hole for the thumb, waiting to be completed. A piece of yarn hangs out of the ribbed cuff at the bottom of the picture.

Anyway, I made this sweater.

Who even needs medical care when you can crochet?

🧶
A teal sweater is on a light wood floor. Left arm is stre he'd straight out, while the right arm is folded pointing down. The sweater is crochet - basket weave is the pattern as it looks a bit like a basket. The cuffs of the sleeves and bottom of the sweater have ribbing. (There was supposed to be more ribbing on the neck, but it was too claustrophobic for me to have so tall of a neckline.)

Without downloading any new pictures, where you at mentally?
A blurry person can be seen in the reflection of a computer screen, holding a cell phone, taking a picture. The computer screen is black and along the top are the words "something went wrong, but don't fret - it's not your fault." Below those words is a blue oval with the with the word "refresh" in white type.

My Auntie told me to find a hobby.
Crochet blanket in progress. The end product will read HUMAN, but only the A and N are currently finished. The background of the blanket is black. The A is the colors of the trans flag, and the N is the colors of the pan flag. (I hope - crochet was a weird thing to pick up for someone who is bad with colors. Lol)

Post a pic you took with no description to bring some zen to the timeline
A path of light brown sand leads through the middle of the photo. The path is flanked by light green mirram grass that holds the sand dunes together. At the crest of the path, you can see the dark blue water of the ocean and the light blue cloudless sky. The horizon seems to go on forever as there is nothing on the water in the distance. This photo was taken in Prince Edward Island, Canada.

Spent NYE watching art be created.

#AmericanVandal
From the passenger seat of a car, looking over the steering wheel and out the front windshield, the car in the next lane slightly ahead is visible on its passenger side. In the back passenger window, there is an arm extended, with a finger touching the window. (Owner of arm is not visible.) They are drawing in the condensation on their window, a dick with balls. There are little lines on the balls which I can only assume represent pubes. There are dots from the top of the dick all the way across the window, which I can only assume is jizz. You're all welcome for sharing this artwork as it speaks volumes about our society.

If this car hits you, you turn into AC/DC.
A license plate on the back of a black car that reads "THUNDER" so naturally, we spent 10 minutes making as many Thunderstruck jokes as we could. They were all bad. Ha! (The background is blurred out cause there were kids crossing the street. They didn't ask to be internetted.)

Went outside for fresh air and also got sunlight.
From a sidewalk in the bottom right corner, looking across a paved street, there is a tree in the center of the photo, by the ither sidewalk. Behind it is green grass. In the background the sky is clear blue and there is a line of evergreen trees above the grass. The sun is directly behind the tree in the center of the photo, so the tree has a white glowing circle that radiates outward. There is a light blue circle in the middle of the photo (encompassing the tree) and a light brown larger circle around that. They likely appear because of a phone camera glitch or because of magic. I'm not a photographer or witch, so I wouldn't know.

This does not make for a functioning human.
A color-coded graph showing sleep stages. There is 19% orange for awake (1 hour 57min), 2% light blue for REM (16mins), 70% purple for light sleep (6hr 41min), and 9% navy blue for deep sleep (59mins). The graph shows that the wake-ups happen approximately every 20 minutes on average. (Sometimes it's every 2 minutes, twice it was every 40 minutes.)

As of July 2024, 20% of PEI's population has officially requested a primary care physician.

How many didn't know they should register?

1 S'side dr retired in Dec 2024, so we know it's more than 34,975 humans without access to preventative healthcare.

www.princeedwardisland.ca/en/service/f...
A screenshot from the government of PEI website reads: Number of people on the patient registry There is a heading "Primary Care Network" to the left of the heading "registered applicants" Central Queens: 1728 East Prince: 7612 Eastern Kings: 543 Queens: 17513 Southern Kings: 3216 West Prince: 4363 Total: 34,975 Percentage of PEI population (based on most recent Statistics Canada data) 20% --------‐----- At the very bottom in italics it reads "As of July 31, 2024"

Fun times!

Screenshot of a yearly summary of heart rate readings from a smartwatch. There is a bar graph but it's wider than the image so it's not ideal. The bars are tall and orange. The range reads "30 -180 bpm" above the bar graph and below the words "January -December".

If only, duolingo. If only.
A screenshot: The Duolingo (a language teaching app) mascot - a green cartoon owl - is poking out of a hole, waving one wing. The speech bubble above the mascot reads, "You made 38 mistakes this year." It is part of an end-of-year summary of the lessons I completed in the app, but I'd like to pretend I only made 38 mistakes just generally all year long.

It was 2003.

(Film for the win.)
Billy Bragg stands at a mic, wearing an electric guitar. He wears a light blue (maybe it's grey?) button-up short sleeved shirt and blue pants. His eyes are closed while he sings. Behind him, over his head the stage lights are visible, 2 of the 4 are lit up red. The other 2 stage lights are off.

Probably didn't need a CT scan to learn this.

#NEISVoid
The words "grossly unremarkable" are cropped out of a longer sentence from the results of a CT scan. It was actually referring to my bladder but it could be applied to more of my body parts, I'd guess. Haha

Why does a blanket even need to perfectly square?

Humans aren't perfectly square.

🧶
A crochet blanket is spread out on light wooden floor. There are purple, green, and orange sections crocheted together by brown borders. None of the colored sections are the same size, nor are they lined up in any level of organization. The brown border is different widths throughout the blanket, and it is clear counting is a struggle for whoever made this. (Me.) While the blanket looks warm and snuggly, it also looks like it was made as an antidote to anxiety. The edge of the couch is visible along the bottom of the photo, the edge of a chair is visible on the upper left of the photo, and the edge of a Corsi-Rosenthal box is visible on the upper left of the photo. The blanket takes up the majority of a living room floor.

Post a picture you took to bring some zen to the timeline.
An arrow (cut roughly out of a branch) hangs on what seems to be the rest of the branch used as a pole. The arrow is pointing into the woods that are in the background. It very much seems like a friendly suggestion to explore in the woods, but it is simultaneously a bit creepy as nothing is visible through the trees, and there is barely a path leading into the woods. If the path was used, it wasn't regularly or recently.

Name an album you like that has a grey cover. #MusicSky

Homonyms by John

Grey clouds hug the tops of mountains. The band name "John" is written in large capital letters above the album name "Homonyms" over the grey clouds. This picture might be taken in Newfoundland, Canada based on where members of the band are from.

Stop worrying for a millisecond and post a bird.
A side profile of a Great Blue Heron standing on the edge of red sandstone, craning their neck towards the ocean that lays before them uninterrupted and never-ending. The blue of the sky is only barely lighter than the blue of the water. There are zero clouds. The yellow of the heron's beak and one of its eyes is visible. Taken in PEI, Canada, on land that was stolen from anyone who survived/escaped the genocides.

"In Irish when you talk about emotion, you don't say 'I am sad'. You'd say 'sadness is on me' - 'tá brón orm'. And I love that because there's an implication of not identifying yourself with the emotion fully. I am not sad, it's just that sadness is on me for a while. Something else will be on me another time, and that's a good thing to recognize." (unknown author)
