Got to play Timecop last night. #AEW
The inside of a sports arena lit by spotlights. There is a wrestling ring with white ropes. A crowd of people are seated on the floor around the ring and in the stadium seats. There is a large screen lit with neon pink that says "AEW Dynamite".

Review of Triple Strike by @gmgray.bsky.social on #Goodreads
#MMromance #scifi #bookrecs #indieauthors
A screenshot from the book review. It says: A great start to a fun series! G.M. Gray has built the kind of world that you want to escape into... or get kidnapped into, like Alan! The whole cast is memorable, with so many characters to love, you'll have a hard time picking a favorite. If you like space adventure with a side of MM romance, I highly recommend Triple Strike!

Thinking of #DavidLynch and missing North Bend.
The sign of Twede's Cafe in North Bend, Washington. It's a tall sign on a round white pole featuring a rectangle with wide yellow and white stripes and the word "cafe" in black cursive text. Above that is a large red "T". There's a small blue oval on the "T" that says "Twede's". To the left of the "T" is a little black square with two red neon "R"s on it, to represent the "Double R Cafe" of Twin Peaks. The corner of the restaurant can be seen beside it. Across the street is a brown building. The tops of a few pine trees can be seen behind the building. In the distance is a mountain, which is greener on the right side and more rocky on the left. The sky is very blue and clear.

What is a movie you love from 1992?
A woman with blonde hair tied back; she's wearing a white prom dress and standing in a protective stance in front of a man. The man has dark hair, slicked back, and is wearing a black leather jacket. The room they are in is decorated with paper jungle decorations.

post one of your favorite horror movies from the 80s
the inside of a hotel room. a muscular man sits cross-legged on the floor. he's wearing a shredded black tank top and black leather pants, his hair is long and black, styled like an 80s rock star. he's sitting calmly in a ring of fire. there are two men in the background on fire, waving their arms.

Please post your most serene, peaceful moments you’ve captured in photos or art!
A rocky beach at the Salish Sea. The water is calm and blue. Mountains can be seen in the distance beyond the water.

I have no pets, could I offer you this picture of a mushroom in this trying time? I took this photo on a walk through the forest in Washington state.
A small white mushroom on the forest floor, amid pine needles and tiny pinecones and bits of green stuff I think is some kind of fern.

Post a PERFECT album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana or Pearl Jam.
A screen with a series of 1s and 0s. Top text reads "Bush" and bottom text reads "sixteen stone". The background is red and the text and numbers are white.
