a screencapture of a tumblr post by user ripeteeth, posted november 9, 2025 at 4:00 pm. it reads "50 years ago, on November 9th, 1975, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald left Superior, Wisconsin on a beautiful and unseasonably warm autumn day carrying 29 men and 26,116 long tons of taconite. It was to be the Fitzgerald’s last run of the season before putting up for winter repairs, and it was to be Captain Ernest McSorley’s final run before retiring to spend time with his wife. The crew was aware of an inbound storm due to roll in overnight, but no one had predicted how two storm fronts, one from the southwest and one down from Canada, would clash over Lake Superior, causing what would be remembered as one of the worst storms of the century. McSorley was respected as one of the best captains on the Great Lakes, a heavy weather sailor who knew how to handle storms. McSorley rarely opted for cautious leeward routes but as this storm began to unfold he chose to keep close to Isle Royale and the Ontario shore. Our last communication from them was a message from McSorley to fellow freighter Arthur M. Anderson at 7.10 pm. “We are holding our own,” they said. It’s haunting to know that at this very moment fifty years ago they were probably in great spirits in good water, bringing the ship back on the last run of the 1975 season, looking forward to spending the winter at home. Tomorrow, on the 50th anniversary of the sinking, the Detroit Mariners’ Church bells will ring 30 times — once for each of the souls lost to the lake and once for Gordon Lightfoot, who brought a somber remembrance and immortality to them all."

matthew dowd spoke truth in this quote, calmly and rationally, and was forced to apologize and was fired, damned near immediately. meanwhile the fox news host said, “Involuntary lethal injection…Just kill them.” he outright calls for eugenics-based MURDER. and nothing, no apology, no firing.
text said by matthew dowd on msnbc about charlie kirk's death, before he was forced to apologize and was fired. the quote reads "he's been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. and i always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. and i think that is the environment we are in. you can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. and that's the unfortunate environment we are in."

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains
the cover for queen's 1990 album innuendo. it shows a giant yellow haired person with a yellow mustache dressed in a red and white striped jumper with a large white collar and standing in amongst what appear to be numerous large globes. the person is juggling what might be multicolored balls or globes of various sizes, along with one banana. standing below and looking up with his arms raised in startlement is a small dark haired man in a suit and a longer overcoat. at the top of the album cover, the band's name is in red three dimensional letters, the letters spaced apart.

giving off these vibes
a panel from the manga jojo's bizarre adventure with two characters near each other in an ominous atmosphere. the panel has a forced perspective that makes the nearer character, who has a blazing aura and is taking a giant step towards the other, look tall and menacing. it is a panel that has become an internet meme titled "oh, you're approaching me?"

wow, so much better than my experience with raw paw. amazing what a little transparency and communication can do (compared to raw paw who gave no indication of how long the process would take, left me with no info for a month, and then was snippy in their response to my query message)
an email from the tshirt company two crow collective. it has the header of A little update on your order! then it reads Hi Diane, We wanted to give you a quick update on your order.

Post a picture of when your pet was little

philo and figment at 8wks old, a couple days after we got them from the nhs
two 8 week old kittens laying next to each other on the middle level of a grey carpet covered cat tree, between two carpet and sisal wrapped posts. the black kitten is sleeping and the tortoiseshell kitten has her front paws stretched out and is looking at something to the right of the camera.

couldn't get them to look at my cell phone camera to save my life, but somehow managed both in one shot lol
a photo of both of my cats. philo the male black cat is loafed up with his tail sticking out behind him on my coffee table, and figment the female tortoiseshell is walking on the carpeted floor just in front of him. neither are looking at the camera because they're stubborn like that.

Quote post this with the picture of a plane you'd accept as a bribe.
a panel from the comic strip peanuts by charles schultz. it shows snoopy on top of his dog house and he's wearing a scarf trailing in the wind and a form fitting hood with goggles. there are clouds in the background, and the thought bubble above his head reads "here's the world war one flying ace zooming through the air in his sopwith camel..."

screenshot from the 1974 tv show land of the lost. it shows two rather laughable looking dinosaurs, or people in dinosaur costumes, fighting. except the fighting is one bipedal dinosaur half biting half mashing its face against the other bipedal dinosaur.

text of a statement from the AP: "Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office. This afternoon AP’s reporter was blocked from attending an executive order signing. It is alarming that the Trump administration would punish AP for its independent journalism. Limiting our access to the Oval Office based on the content of AP’s speech not only severely impedes the public’s access to independent news, it plainly violates the First Amendment."

Without downloading any new pictures where are you at mentally?
a screenshot from the cartoon adventure time. it shows the character lemongrab (who is a human-like being with a vertical lemon for a head) pointing towards a mirror reflecting himself while looking behind himself at the audience. he's making a strange face with wide eyes and a gaping mouth with teeth as if yelling, and the caption reads "screaming continues".

idk i kind of consider "restore the property to the condition it was in just before the loss" as MATCHING and not 'different shades of white'

she whines and whines until i let her do this. sometimes she doesn't whine and just creeps into my lap and starts crawling up towards my shoulders as if it's a given i'll lean back for her. doesn't matter if i'm like *doing* stuff, no.

#caturday i suppose is technically accurate.
my tortoiseshell cat looks at the camera as she is draped across the top of my chest while i lean back in my computer chair. she's sprawling so much only the top half of my face is visible.
