Glitter brain, glitter brain.
Less depressed than my real brain!
Glitter brain.
I hold up to the sunlight an anatomical model of a brain that has been covered in cheap glitter.

Found this still-relevant photo from CHAZ on my phone
The shadow of the photographer falls directly across the center of this overexposed phone photograph of protest mottos chalked onto the quiet street. Featured beneath and around the shadow: "Fix your hearts or die." Above, blue chalk implores us to "Remember Tulsa," and someone has written "Slim" vertically in yellow chalk to the far right.

Arachne in Hades II is so life goals 🕷️

I too want an adorable himbo goth gf who lets me put her in all the pretty dresses I make for her 🥺
A screen capture from the video game Hades 2 featuring the character of Arachne, described as "Silk Weaver" and depicted as a spider with the cute little head of a woman, saying to the protagonist, "Well that's rather forward of you, my friend, and I appreciate it, truly. Whatever I need, huh. I'll have to give a little thought to that! But right now, I need for you to decide which of these dresses you like, and try it on."

Oh, to be a New Yorker today!

How do all those hopes and dreams feel on your shoulders, Zohran?
A snippet of a screenshot of the New York Times coverage of the 2025 New York City mayoral race. With 88% of the votes in, the Republican Curtis Sliwa has taken 7.2%, the independent Andrew M. Cuomo has 41.6%, and the Democrat Zohran Mamdami is the winner at 50.3%. The numbers for turnout are over two milliom.

Poor sodalite, always looking at lapis lazuli and feeling the need to overcompensate!
Two deep blue phallus-shaped rocks sit in my palm, the larger one sodalite and the smaller one lapis lazuli.

I found the bluebird of happiness at Pike Place Market. It was ten bucks
A tiny glass bird with little blue wings sits on my palm against my fingers. It is approximately one knuckle in size.

I hear there's an urban legend in New York City claiming Governor Andrew Cuomo once had a sense of shame. They say it eventually grew big enough to be inconvenient, so he flushed it down the toilet. Now it stalks the sewers of Manhattan, grown fat on rats, discarded pizza crusts, and lost tourists.
A screenshot from an email alert from the fabled godawful centrist rag The New York Times. The headline: "Cuomo All but Begs Sliwa to Drop Out. No Chance, Sliwa Says." The following text: "The morning after a contentious debate, Andrew M. Cuomo ramped up his attacks on Curtis Sliwa, the Republican mayoral nominee, as he continued to hunt for Republican votes." Byline: Nicholas Fandos. This screenshot follows the previous one with an analysis of the bit of news it reported. "What happened: A day after the debate, Cuomo intensified his attacks against Sliwa and conceded that it would be 'very, very, very hard mathematically' for him to succeed with the Republican in the race. Why it matters: It was a strikingly candid acknowledgment of political reality. With both Cuomo and Sliwa in the running, the opposition to Mamdani is deeply fractured and leaves him well positioned for the final stretch."

The cursed remains of this 1979 Chevy Malibu are here to absorb all the bad vibes on your timeline.
The burnt-out husk of a 1979 Chevy Malibu sits at the edge of the street in front of a grassy empty lot, with a single large house beyond it in the background and a line of trees across the street. The front of the car is gone, the doors and windows are gone, the trunk lid is gone, but the tires remain perfectly intact.

Once upon a time, John Constantine was a new and mysterious character, leading to possibly the funniest Very Wrong comic book theory of all time.
A worn old comic book page from the mid-1980s featuring the letters to the editor column of Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing. Some text (transcribed in the following images' alt text) is highlighted in bright yellow. A block of grainy red text highlighted in bright yellow: "--about everyone's favourite enigma, John Constantine. He's not /the/ J.C., is he? Swampy's been to hell and back, and if something big and evil is going to show up, JC seems the sort of person who might be wandering about trying to stop it. There seem to be a lot of references which might be biblical lurking around as well, especially in issue 37." Grainy red italicized text, highlighted in bright yellow: "Interesting deduction about John Constantine's identity, James. We've gotten lots of mail from people thinking he's Sting or Billy Idol, but Jesus Christ--well, this is definitely a first. The enigmatic and beguiling Constantine may be many things (he likes to keep /us/ guessing, too, the nerve of him), but we /can/ assure you that he's not and never has been Jesus Christ."

He starts: I didn't intend that, but it's on me to be clearer, not you to guess. Your reaction is valid.

He's a bit whiny in his conclusion with that "lots of women liked it" but the internet didn't exist so I get why he points it out.

It seems fairly thoughtful, all things considered.
Grainy text on a yellowed comic book page: Dear Mindy, Perhaps it would be best if I started out by saying that on one level I have no argument with the majority of what you say. It's a valid reaction to the story, and although it certainly wasn't the reaction I intended, it's a fair one. If the story was open to misinterpretation, then that's my fault rather than yours." Grainy text on a yellowed comic book page: Anyway, I'm sorry that that story upset you and hope you'll accept that it wasn't intended in quite the light that you saw it in. I think I should also point out in my own defense that we did have a predominantly good reaction from most of the women who read and commented on the story, even though I haven't shown it to my mother yet. Thanks again for writing and for providing a chance to discuss the issue in such a previously unlikely arena. Remember when all people wanted to know was-- The image is cropped at this point.

I am so tired of intellectually dishonest transphobes with zero journalistic integrity getting articles published that consist entirely of lies, distortions, fearmongering by people who have never known a trans person, and rhetorical traps to invalidate any input by trans people ourselves.
A Facebook post by the Atlantic linking an article by a known transphobe entitled, "The Liberal Misinformation Bubble About Youth Gender Medicine," featuring a clever graphic of two speech bubbles, one light pink and one light blue, holepunched until they look like Swiss cheese with the punched-out holes scattered across the opposite bubble, to emphasize the author's baseless conviction that trans people construct our identities out of lies and delusions. It's captioned, "How the left ended up disbelieving the science."

"Plus ca change plus la meme cock," 2025. Permanent marker and gay bar bathroom stall wall.
A view of the graffiti on a bathroom stall wall, lit by a camera flash. On the left, "The only permanent thing is change" is scrawled in bright yellow-green permanent marker. To the right of it, someone has scrawled in bright pink permanent marker, "my magic dick is also permanent." Above these words, in the same marker, is a cartoonish circumcised penis with hastily-drawn angel wings and lines drawn fountaining from the top to indicate that it is in the act of ejaculating. Above the crudely drawn ejaculate, more marker lines are drawn, this time in blue, as rays around the penis's head like rays around the head of a saint. Towards the left at the bottom of the image, older and less well-kept graffiti reads, "I love you!"

Burger shoe.

Designer burger shoe.
I hold up a faux leather sneaker patterned to resemble a burger. The tag, labeled with the store name of "Two Big Blondes," indicates it is a designer item by Dolls Kill and prices it secondhand at $68.

Just found the most succinctly perfect caption in the world
A two-page magazine spread titled "Bohemian Rhapsody" features a long shot of a young Freddie Mercury in burgundy crushed velvet, casting a smoldering gaze at the viewer. At the corner of the spread in the previous image, a caption reads, "Freddie Mercury, smoldering, 1974."

This decaying tree trunk bursting with new small growing things stands right in the center of Howell Park, a secluded little gay nude beach where you're likely to see actual dicksucking hidden in the heart of one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Seattle.

How YOU doing, Dionysos?!
An offering of a lapis lazuli and two coins sits in the middle of the central stump of a tree that once was a tree divided into multiple trunks. All around the offering, new plant growth emerges from the decaying stump. A colorful Wizard's Staff leans against the tree stump in a view from several feet back. Thin pale green leaves burst from where one trunk of the tree once grew. Bright little coiled green leaves cluster at the center of one former stump of the decaying trunk.

The mood in central Seattle: generally in favor of targeted violence against the ultrawealthy ⚘️✨️⚠️✅️
A round sticker on a battered crosswalk button. It reads, "Deny, defend, depose; kill more CEOs." It has compelling graphic design featuring bubbly round letters and cute little crosshairs for the letter O. Graffiti on a bar bathroom stall wall, with the word "bitch" scrawled hugely in the background. Towards the top is a graffito: "so when do we start killing rich people fr" Beneath this is someone else's later addition: "De-arrest Luigi" with a small smiley doodle at the end.
