All of Gail's posts are true. Especially the lies.
Garak from Deep Space Nine smiling coyly A grey skinned alien with a spoon shaped area in the middle of his forehead and scale like ridges running down from it to the tip of his nose, between two larger sets of scaly ridges surrounding his eyes and running all the way up his high forehead. He has black hair combes straight back, and is wearing a green sweater like shirt

"And so he says to me, 'you wanna be a bad guy?' And I say, 'yeah, baby! I wanna be bad!' It's mine baby mine with President Trump"
The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight from The Tick animated series. A deranged looking animated man wearing a red jacket with a black collar, a green helmet with a chin strap and white skull on the forehead, and red goggles. His eyes are wide, his mouth is wider as he yells all his dialogue. Tongue squiggling well out of his mouth, teeth surprisingly white, and stubble over the visible parts of his face.

Apparently posting this factual, public information and making a reasonable inference about what following a bigoted transphobe says about her own biases got Jay in enough of a tizzy to perma-ban someone on BlackSky (bringing into question the BlueSky team's commitment to decentralization). Great ..

When the Secretary of Defense is more dense and single minded than Walter fucking Sobchak
John Goodman and Jeff Bridges in a acen from The Big Lebowski. They're walking in front of a white wall with multi-color asterisk shaped lights. Goodman's character, Walter, is saying "You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism at one point."

I dread to think what he would've made of this monstrosity from the Star Wars CCG
The card Braniac from the A New Hope expansion of Decipher's Star Wars CCG. Image is a grumpy looking copper skinned guy with a large brain shaped head. This is a card too annoying to everyone involved to ever see play. Destiny value is π. Cost and forfeit value are Y and X, respectively. Power is √(3(X-Y) + 2(A-B) + π), minimum 1. Ability is 3. X= dark side hand cards Y= light side hand cards A= total number of dark side force icons B= total number of light side force icons π is listed in the card text to about 30 decimal places

Gout + diabetes limited my options. And the list of foods is very white. I grew up middle class between a town with Mexican restaurants every other corner, and a college town. Dad had a taste for Asian food from his Air Force days (we were a white family w/ a wok, in the 80's). It's all too bland
A circular chart showing my results from the food class questionnaire. 5 concentric circles divided into 5 wedges. Each wedge is a class, with a colored result partially filled for the trend for that class in food selection. My results: Upper Class (blue): slightly above the first circle Upper Middle Class (teal): still slightly above the first circle, a touch more than Upper Class Middle Class (green): barely above the third circle Lower Middle Class (purple): right on the second circle Lower Class (yellow): slightly below the third circle

A jigger - two stainless steel cones of different sizes, joined around where the points would be, used to measure liquids for mixed drinks. Add some trim at the top and a skirt at the bottom, and this would be a miniature of the wedding dress from the quoted post

Fun facts:
-Deerdevil exists
-Spider-Ham is a spider who got powers by being bitten by a radioactive pig
Comic book cover for "Marvel Tails starring Spider-Han featuring Deerdevil". Cover image depicts Spider-Ham, an anthropomorphic pig in a Spider-Man suit, facing left with fists on hips and a smile, and Deerdevil, an anthropomorphic deer in a Daredevil suit (that inexplicably covers his antlers), facing right with a scowl and carrying nunchucks in an also inexplicable reverse grip.

Not sure why they're so scared of these guys
Cover of the album Fantastic Planet by the band Failure. Background is a a blue sky with wispy clouds. Two 50's movie style rockets, with the classic tube and fin shape, but they're too close to see the tops. Three people, one in the center of focus, two further back facing either side. They're wearing white zeerust uniforms, with red helmets that look more like bike helmets than space helmets, holding pretty basic pong ray guns. The word "FAILURE" in red is in the upper left, with "FANTASTIC PLANET" below it in white. It's a good album, and worth a listen. The cover is the opposite of terrifying.

Poster for "Death Rattle Dazzle", a musical from Only Murders in the building. Depicts a lighthouse, atop which sits a disco ball, dripping blood. On the lighthouse is written "A Death Rattle Musical" in rainbow colors. At the bottom of the lighthouse are 3 baby carriers, for the 3 prime suspects: infant triplets

My mind went straight to a Tyranid harridan from Warhammer 40k. A flying monster that would wreck some face and drop a brood of gargoyles on 'em for good measure. Not what I'd picture you as, but still makes you come off as pretty badass to me
A Tyranid harridan model. Dragon shaped flying monster with a toothy maw. Armored plates on head and tail painted bone colored. Body and bat like wings painted red and orange with bits of purple.
