Friend snapped this more accurate CVS sign
Photo of a CVS, but part of the sign is unlit, so it reads, “harmacy.”

Would you accept a comic? The request for a joke means I have forgotten every joke I have ever heard.
Comic strip: 1st frame, a woman holds a pair of glasses. She says, “I found your glasses!” 2nd frame: A man now wears the glasses. He says, “Amazing! Thank you!” 3rd (final) frame: The woman is now behind a desk. A different man sits in a chair nearby. The woman is gesturing at the door. She says, “The doctor can see you now.”

May I recommend this recent release and its predecessors, Queen of None and Queen of Fury? I have tremendously enjoyed @natania.bsky.social’s take on the women of Arthurian legend.
The book Queen of Mercy by Natania Barron, which has a purple cover with an image of a white-haired woman wearing a black dress. Also an affogato - espresso over vanilla ice cream.

This might be the most pleasant way I’ve ever spent a lunch break: walking to the indie bookstore for @natania.bsky.social’s latest and having an affogato while I read the first pages.
Book Queen of Mercy by Natania Barron, which has a purple cover with an illustration of a white-haired woman dressed in black. Also affogato, espresso poured over vanilla ice cream.

If you see this, quote with the most recent photo of yourself from your camera roll. No cheating!

I’m a sucker for a fancy notebook.
A leather bound notebook with a clasp and a metal decoration of a wyvern.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy but isn’t a selfie
A kitchen drawer, full of utensils, disorganized, chaotic.
