They're putting #GunmetalOlympus spoilers everywhere! 😲
A diagram of the lineage of various Greek gods from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. They've got a lot of artifacts there!

Huh. That number keeps going up! ...neato.

... blaze it?

This won't last long, will it?
It's Jess! ...it's her profile on Bluesky as of September 19th, 2025. She has 420 followers. Stoners might rejoice!

Taoist vinegar tasted must be a riot at kink parties. You describe a scene you'd like to perform with them, and they'll be like, "Ah, this is vinegar! 😁"
A picture of the "vinegar tasters" allegory that I nicked off Wikipedia. The description there is as follows: "The Three Vinegar Tasters, depicting Confucius, Buddha, and Laozi over a pot of vinegar, respectively perceiving it as sour, bitter and sweet. Painting by an artist of the Kanō school. Japan, Muromachi period, 16th century."

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains...
Sacramentum - Far Away from the Sun (1996). Trust me when I say this is a perfect album.

I mean, they're not wrong. 😅
According to Memory Alpha, a Star Trek wiki: "The uniform and remains of Doctor Carter on the bridge of the USS Exeter. (TOS-R: "The Omega Glory")." This photo, however, shows up on the page about TOS-era uniforms with the caption "Ensemble with trousers", as if it's normal to encounter Starfleet uniforms in this state. I haven't watched much TOS. Maybe it is?

My wife's playing Sonic Adventure DX, and I realized that Chaos is just soup.
It's Sonic Adventure DX! Specifically, the GameCube version running off Nintendo Wii backwards compatibility. This is when Knuckles fights Chaos-4. Not the best shot, but I don't have the spoons to set up a capture card on this CRT, much less for a shitpost.

Today's Magic the Gathering Gender of the Day™️ is... also mine! At least on a more femmey day. 💃
It's a Magic: The Gathering card! This one depicts a pale woman with white hair in a gorgeous, elaborate black (green tinted) dress, flanked by creatures she probably summoned herself. The text follows: Sedgemoor Witch {2}{B} Creature — Human Warlock Menace Ward—Pay 3 life. (Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays 3 life.) Magecraft — Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, create a 1/1 black and green Pest creature token with “When this token dies, you gain 1 life.” 3/2 Watermark: Witherbloom Illustrated by Igor Kieryluk

Sticker time! (Sister Madalithea from #gunmetalolympus, as illustrated by @mangomakes.bsky.social)

Do you think she likes CRTs and old consoles? 😅
It's an old CRT television! Specifically the one my wife had as a child. We have some Nintendo consoles hooked up. More salient - the Slowpoke sticker was already there, but the Madalithea is new.

Today's Magic the Gathering Gender of the Day™ is... mine? 🤔

Okay, it checks out.
It's a Magic: The Gathering Card! Pretty old one (Exodus, 1998), too. The card depicts a goth wizard in all black, with geometric face paint/tattoos, exposed stomach and back, and leathery accessories. She's levitating a blue crystal with some sort of magic, and may be an old-school (Yawgmoth era) Phyrexian. Either that, or perhaps someone from Rath? Regardless, she's hot in the way that I try to be when energy permits. Memory Crystal {3} Artifact Buyback costs cost {2} less. Hues of recollection flicker like facets of a gem.

I'm probably not the only person here who's into both #GunmetalOlympus and Magic, or the first to design a (likely jank) card. Still, there could be more of us if the folks at Hasbro weren't cowards.
It's a fake Magic: The Gathering card! The art is "Flora" by Evelyn De Morgan, and I used MTGCardSmith.com to make this. Khrysothemis (2WBG) Legendary Creature - Nymph 2/4 Emerge from Nymph {2}{g} Sacrifice a creature: Put X +1/+1 counters on Khrysothemis, where X is that creature's power. Then, at the beginning of the next end step, you may return that creature from the graveyard to the battlefield if its base power is at least two greater than that of Khrysothemis. If you do so, move all counters from Khrysothemis onto that creature, then sacrifice Khrysothemis. Activate only once each turn.

"Your Blood and Soil Are Piss and Shit" ...in my ass. Somehow it just feels like diminishing returns!
It's S2 Music Player for Android! I was listening to "Your Blood and Soil Are Piss and Shit" by Jute Gyte, off their 2014 album Ressentiment. It's a great album if microtonal black metal is your thing. I unfortunately don't know how to pronounce "Jute Gyte". My best guess is something along the lines of "yoot gheet".

YOU HAD ONE JOB.

HE HAS "WARD" IN HIS NAME.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF A SQUIDWARD CARD IF HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE WARD?
It's a Magic the Gathering card! Specifically, from the Spongebob Squarepants Secret Lair Drop. Text follows. Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar {1}{U}{U} Squidward, Sarcastic Snob Legendary Creature — Horror Whenever a creature you control becomes blocked, you may return it to its owner’s hand. Whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player, draw a card. “I hate all of you.”

Post your favorite Pokémon, wrong answers only.
It's Marty! Marty is a bot that prowls through Stop and Shop locations in Massachusetts (and probably in other states), looking for spills and other anomalies. IIIRC, it calls the store's human employees over when it finds something. Also, it has eyes on the side, which looks silly in motion. This one goes a step further and hawks chicken to customers!

If my selfies were Jute Gyte albums, this one would be _Ressentiment_. (Wait, what?)
It's Jess! She's posing in her bedroom (...which her loving wife set up) in a black dress shirt and yellow cardigan. She's also wearing a necklace made of trapezoid and her favorite rainbow bead earrings. You can also see her taking the photo in a mirror, and the whole thing probably loops a few times before it's completely unintelligible. Mise en abyme, apparently. I have to stop now, because my wife thinks this is too much text to read through.

For context - I'm one of those old fashioned ladies who keeps MP3s (and as a corollary, album art) on her phone for music. If you showed me this picture of Amorphis and told me everyone here was a girl now, I'd believe you.
The back cover of a CD printing of "Tales from the Thousand Lakes" by Amorphis, featuring a photo of the band looking particularly androgynous in a late-80s/early-90s metalhead way.

My wife watched me play the first bits of Bahamut Lagoon a few days ago. Now she's starting a playthrough and has renamed a major character (Yoyo) "Princess Comphet". Good times.
A photo of Retroarch running Bahamut Lagoon, a 1996 SNES RPG that never officially left Japan, but has since been fan-translated. In this screencap, Yoyo says to Byuu, "They say that a man and woman who enter it together become bound as one... Their futures become intertwined."

My wife is playing Dark Souls again and reached the game's Blighttown-type beat. You know, like the Dreamwell song of the same name! That must be where From Software got it. 🤪
A blurry picture of my wife's Dark Souls session. Apparently Blighttown is pretty dangerous. I wouldn't know from experience - I noped out of Dark Souls at Taurus Demon.

With the exodus from legacy social media to Bluesky in full swing, it's only a matter of time until we get the dude who thinks modernity's problems could be solved by restoring Stefan Uroš IV's shortlived "Empire of the Serbs and Greeks". He's probably insufferable.
A picture of Stefan Uroš IV Dušan I yanked straight from Wikipedia. Under his reign, Serbia briefly ruled over large parts of what are now Greece, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and Albania. I'm not a Serbian nationalist, so I don't ascribe any inherent worth to this admittedly pretty impressive feat of conquest. Trans girl engineers usually don't become the sovereigns of large swathes of southeastern Europe, you know?

Was I the kid who cared the most about 68k Macintosh emulators in 2002? Probably not! But when it comes to 10 year olds of the time, I was probably at least in the top ten percent.
A screenshot of Basilisk II (an old Macintosh PC emulator) running in what appears to be a Windows environment? Not 100% certain. It is, however, hosting Mac OS 8.1, and you could use it to run some interesting games or such. Most of my Bluesky presence is just me reposting angry trans girl stuff or yelling into the void about whatever comes to mind.

Quote post with just your eyes. 😶
It's Jess's eyes! She likes doing liner and mascara and doesn't really care about the other things you can do with makeup. I guess part of her nose is present too, but it's fine.

I know Balatro isn't trendy any more, but Cece and I are catching up, okay?
It's Balatro! Balatro is a deckbuilding roguelite where you assemble poker hands and assemble an increasingly lavish playing card deck. It was very popular with the dolls a few months ago. Also, we have simple curtains now.

Most of the meals I make with tteok end up looking like this, but they all seem to end well. (Isn't that right, @dxllmusic.bsky.social? 🥢)
It's Jess's cooking! I made something that's basically equivalent to buldak, except with a bunch of tteok in addition to the chicken. I also served a very simple cucumber salad and some store bought kimchi on the side.

Girl who (technically) cracked Sheoldred the Apocalypse from a Dominaria United pack. 🙃
It's Jess! She's holding up a full art promo card for Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. The actual playable cardboard is going to set you back at least $70. She did, however, pull a Karplusan Forest.

I made a Portuguese style steak dinner for my wife a bit back. We're legally married now. You can figure out the causality on your own time.
It's steak! There are apparently a lot of "Portuguese" takes on a steak dinner. This one smothers the steak in a pan "sauce" of onions and spicy peppers, throws in a runny fried eggs, comes with fries and ketchup (not technically for the steak), and has a few olives for shirts and giggles.
