a photo of a classroom from the perspective of a student in whose hand we see a lime with a black redaction bar across it. a young man sits at a desk and is smiling at the viewer, flashing a peace sign. some other students in the classroom are turning to look at the viewer as well from their ownndesks, while others are looking at the board or their phones. caption (sic): This is Acontius. Acontius gave me a lime. It had his number ,Then proceeded to say "It's a pick-up lime" (original tweet by @salgueronatalie, the original name in the caption was Michael and has been edited over to say Acontius.)

ūnus erat tantum
quem īnfrā videās crocodīlus--
lymphā sed trahitur
lūx et imāginibus.
a picture of a crocodile in an aquarium tank, half in and half out of the water. the refraction from the water makes it look lile the bottom half of the crocodile is about two feet to the (viewer's) left of the top half.

Procrustes: makes certain the bed in his guest room is just the right size for his guests-- by stretching them or cutting off their feet.

Theseus:
A dark blue police cart with an officer at the wheen driving it away down a concrete pathway. On the back of the cart in bright white letters it reads XENIA POLICE.

Sciron: asks that his guests offer him the service of washing his feet by a beautiful scenic overlook; boots them off cliff.

Sinis: challenges travellers to a friendly game of bend-the-tree-over and then sends them flying or tears them in two for the giggles.

I had to say good night and good bye to this snow angel yesterday. He was only with me five weeks but I loved him with my whole heart and gave him everything I had. Adopt senior dogs.
a white dog with black markings and pink lips and collar looks upward; behind him the ground is white and the boughs of the pine trees are sagging with snow.

I'll try. This was my first original bluesky content 3 months ago and nobody laughed at all.😅

unloading the dishwasher in whatever order occurs to me at the time makes my kitchen cabinets look like they belong to a scatterbrained disney character.
two stacks of mismatched bowls leaning precariously side to side. in the middle, a red butter dish with a glass crystal knob.

with all apologies to Ovid, who never had the chance to experience it, the best implement for writing elegiac couplets is a fat, juicy crayola marker. if it does not glisten on the page for a moment still wet, what are we even doing?

(p.s. yes there are hot apples in this poem)
a page of notebook paper taken at an angle, with some lines of Latin poetry written in thick orange marker. the long and short syllables are tracked with an alternation of a massive majuscule and tiny miniscule print.

Show me 4 pictures in your phone that have your energy but aren't selfies.
a person dressed in leaves with a crown of pine branches rides a rampant unicorn. an eviscerated toy shark surrounded by its own fluff on a brown and white rug. several tracks of indeterminate tiny pawprints in the snow. a constellation/asterism in the shape of a capital gamma.

Malva pistrem suum amat.
a white dog with black markings in a pink collar rests amidst a bunch of toys, but with his paws resting on his favorite, his toy shark.

finding out there is no sedative quite like a big warm dog who will snuggle you in bed is maybe worth the loss of a Saturday.
a white dog with black markings snuggles up below somone's arm and into their chest amid some fluffy blankets.

photo of roman sarcophagi; memetic text: "it's only a sarcophagus if it's made of alum-slate from the district of Troas in Asia Minor, otherwise it's just a sparkling coffin."
