When all this heals up, you’ll have to pay me to out a shirt on
A shirtless selfie showing my 4-week-old top surgery scars. Things are healing pretty well, but the scars are still a dark pink which will eventually fade.

You know how when you put a shirt on some cats, they go stiff and flop over and refuse to move because they hate it? I completely understand where they’re coming from now
A selfie of me wearing my post-op compression vest. It’s not terrible, but I get itchy and it’s just generally mildly annoying.

“We can see here the signs of healing, as he gets back to his vain routine of taking endless selfies.”
A selfie where I’m laying in bed, wearing my handy dandy compression vest and giving the camera a hint of a smile. I’m freshly showered and a bit tired, but healing up well.

A photo of a dog who appears to be a Husky making a face like somebody who just told the punniest Dad Joke ever and js very pleased with themself. This photo has been used in memes quite often and is sometimes known as “Bad Pun Husky”.

My intimidation factor depends on mood, honestly.

Generally good mood (most of the time): like a 1 or a 2 (I’m just a widdle guy)

Angry (you know when that thing in your brain *snaps*): probably at least an 8 (7 if you’re over six foot, just remember I can still break your knees)
A screenshot of a Twitter post. mont @saerodynamic_ quote rt this with how intimidating YOU think you are on a scale of 1-10 and let other ppl reply to it with how intimidating THEY think you are 10:13 PM - 2/21/20 - Twitter for Android

There’s never been a better time to quit your Starbucks addiction
This is a screenshot from a Reddit post on r/starbucksbaristas. The caption reads “This is insane”. Below is the text from a real memo sent out by Starbucks corporate headquarters, inset as a photo in the Reddit post: Customer names and messages on orders SEPTEMBER 16, 2025 Updated: 9/17/25 3pm PDT In response to online discussion about our policy for customer names on orders, we wanted to provide the facts and share some background. Starbucks is a company built on human connection. Having a name, rather than a number, attached to a customer order has been a core part of the Starbucks coffeehouse experience for decades. Most customers use their own name. And when a customer wants to use a different name - including the name Charlie Kirk - when ordering their drink in our café, we aim to respect their preference.

I mean, I have my own pair of nerd glasses, so no need to be ironic 😂

They can be, but if you show them you’re the bigger asshole, they tend to chill out pretty quick
A photo my step kid took of a Canadian goose at a local pond chilling and about to eat some oats out of my hand. This was taken a few minutes after I hissed back at this grumpy booger.

I think the people who write the fortunes in the cookies are leaning into the “in bed” thing now
The fortune from a fortune cookie I got at Panda Express. It reads: You don’t need to travel far to find the satisfaction you’re looking for.

The trans masc version of twink death 😂

California still looks good on me though 😘
A selfie from today. I’m bald with an interestingly forked goatee, somewhat square-framed glasses, wearing a Hawaiian shirt that has a black background with a white leaf pattern on it. I took the selfie sitting in my car in the driveway, so you can see the interior of my car behind me as I’m sitting in the driver’s seat. It gives very much dad vibes. A selfie from December of 2022. The photo had a similar composition, taken from a similar angle where I’m also in the driver’s seat of a parked car. However, everything in the photo is different to some degree. The car interior is black where the newer one is grey, I’m wearing smaller, more oval glasses with a lighter metallic frame. I have some stubble but not really facial hair, but the hair on my head looks amazing, if a little grey at the temples. I’m wearing a black tee shirt under a blue and grey Berkeley jacket (that I bought at a thrift store when I still lived in South Carolina, oddly enough). This photo is giving more “college kid” vibes.

*sliding into the room, Kramer-style*

I got bored waiting for my hairline to finish receding so I shaved my head and went full Megamind
A selfie of me in a blue polo shirt and my glasses with a very bald head and a goatee.

Monday off work? Spa day at home 🧼 (I exfoliated a little too close to the sun for my nose tho 😂)
A selfie of me laying on a ridiculous number of pillows in bed, freshly showered, head freshly shaven, beard oiled up and moisturized all over. My nose and some other places on my face are a bit red from scrubbing a little too hard in the shower.

Just another day ending in Y
A picture of one of the gay guys from Schitt’s Creek leaning with one leg crossed behind the other in a very flamboyant way. Overlaid text reads “another day being a slut in theory but not in practice”.

Didn’t know I should be getting paid for having the opinion that maybe we should primary an actually decent person over a homeless-hating ghoul
Sam, back on my bullshit @samwis... • 8m a Halfling Oracle Just gonna point out that there are trans people who are also freaking out about the transphobia. And that we could be nominating Pritzker instead, who seems like a genuinely good human, instead of Mr. I-invite-Joe-Rogan-on-my-podcast-and-smash-homeless-encampments-personally. ... JetteDuffy Follow @jetteduffy.bsky.social There are also 340M people who are about to be disenfranchised who also need to be recognized. Are you saying that we should deprive them of representation because Gavin expressed an opinion that only hypothetically affects only YOUR cohort? WHO IS PAYING YOU? August 23, 2025 at 4:26 AM 2

I should call him
At the top, the following caption: The Hua Moa is a big, chunky Hawalian banana with soft, creamy, orange-pink flesh, reaching up to 10 inches in length and 4 inches in width. Below: side by side photos of the described type of banana. The left photo is the whole banana being held in someone’s hand against a leafy backdrop, and the banana is enormous. In the right photo, the same banana after peeling it down a little more than halfway. It looks like it takes two hands to hold due to the girth.

I shaved my head on Sunday 😆
A selfie in my work bathroom, in a deep blue polo shirt with my nerdy glasses and some black opal stud earrings. I have, indeed, shaved my head, but left my facial hair in a wide goatee.

Welp, I did a thing
A shirtless selfie of me in approximately 3/4 profile from shoulders up. I’ve shaved my head and trimmed my beard to basically a goatee with stubble around it. I’m giving something of a mischievous smile.

I forgot Mitch McConnell's name, but Google got my back
A screenshot of the top of Google search results for the phrase "Kentucky senator who looks like a turtle". The AI overview says "The Kentucky senator often described as looking like a turtle is Mitch McConnell. He is the current senior United States Senator from Kentucky. McConnell has served in the Senate since 1985 and is known for his strategic political style."

You ever just wander into the kitchen in search of food and disassociate and then it’s suddenly like an hour and a half later and there’s sausage, bell pepper, onion, and garlic in the cast iron and the kitchen smells delicious?
A picture of a cast iron skillet with onion, yellow bell pepper, Hillshire Farms smoked sausage, and minced garlic from a jar all cooking in it on the stove. I sweated the onion for at least a good 20 to 30 minutes, then added the bell pepper for another 10 minutes or so before adding the cut up sausage and garlic. Just basically waiting on the sausage to get nice and brown, and I’m contemplating turning it into a really big frittata.

I saved this pic off the internet years ago now of the most T4T coded bunny pair I’d ever seen - you’ve got Gomez Addams there with lorge bnnuy wife 💖💖
Two rabbits splooted on a carpeted floor in front of a mirrored sliding glass door. One is enormous, possibly a Flemish Giant, and the other appears to be some kind of dwarf rabbit. They are snuggled up next to each other, awake and alert but not alarmed. My recollection from where I saved this on the internet described them as a mated pair, with the really large rabbit being the girlfriend and the really tiny rabbit being the boyfriend.

I put earrings in and I get distinct piratical vibes

If anybody’s hiring crew, I’m a decent medic in a pinch, I fight like a chihuahua on cocaine, and I can suck a golf ball through a garden hose
🤙😘
A selfie of me laying in bed on a very large pile of pillows, wearing a light heathered grey tee shirt with some opal studs in my earlobes. The beard has a mind of its own and is trying to escape down my neck, and a decent portion of the follicles on top of my head are attempting to follow suit. I may or may not allegedly be elevated in this selfie, and possibly relatedly my eyes are squinted. My smile may be closed-lipped, but it’s big enough to reach my eyes and genuine. The dimple is a paid actor.
