Wow.
A hard core of local supporters, some wearing T-shirts proclaiming "I'm voting for a convicted felon", remained alongside traveling groupies who follow Trump from rally to rally.

Your call is very important to us, please stay on the line and the next customer service cat available will steal any other food products left unguarded.
A cat sitting in a box, photographed mid-meow so their mouth is open and their eyes are a little wild.

Got myself a little zine at Powell’s. Then almost run down by a car that ran a stop sign, but I don’t blame the zine for that.
A green zine cover with a pen and ink drawing of a stormy sky and a bolt of lightning striking a fallen tree. At the top is handwritten text reading “shit’s fucked, still”. Under the drawing it reads “another positivity guide”

Looks like we’ll actually get a little summer for the last weekend of summer before school starts.
Screen shot of a weather forecast app. The high for Wednesday is 78, then it jumps up to 90, 93, 92, and 88, before plopping back down to 78 on Monday.

You can see what looks like where the liner attaches to the bed. Also most of the wood is on the liner but some on either side, as if it was propped on the wheel wells.

Hive mind: this showed up on next door. The picture I cropped is a woman giving ‘come hither’ eyes and a younger man looking playful/puckish.

Is this a sex thing? Everyone is responding to it like a genuine request for a juvenile canine but it’s so…not that, to my eye.
A cropped screenshot of next door. The text reads “Me in my 50' him in his 30's we are looking for a small cat or dog. Either new born or puppy. Doesn't matter. We are all alone and looking to fill the empty nest syndrome. Any help would be greatly appreciated as our budget can not afford a rehoming fee.”

A simple drawing of a garbage truck with a white can and a green trailer. Several stick figure men protrude from the back of the truck, with one lying on the ground. The truck is labeled “whole man disposal services”. Underneath the image it says “yes, the entire man.”

Picked up this awesome book at the library. It picks the background patterns out of paintings by old masters, renders them flat, and even gives CMYK values.
The front of a hardcover book entitled Patterns in Art: A Look at the Old Masters An open hardcover book. The left page shows a tiled pattern of pink, white, and blue. The right section de gas a bunch of text but also a small image of Gerard David’s ‘The Annunciation’ with two detail images of the pattern reproduced on the left page. An open hardcover book. Each page has 16 patterns and the page numbers on which they can be found.

Are there six-petal nasturtium varieties or is Reader’s Digest Big Book of Cross-Stitch Designs cheating to avoid dividing by 5?
A cross stitch pattern of an orange and red flower on a long stem. The flower has six petals with space between them, while all nasturtiums I’ve seen have five overlapping petals.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy
A Gadsden flag with altered text. Above the snake it says ‘Nobody is treading on you.’ Below the snake it says ‘You’re weird.’

I dug up my antenna and set it up swearing the whole time.
In the background, a tv showing a footie (soccer) match. In the foreground, a small end table sitting awkwardly in the middle of the room. A small panel antenna hangs, taped to a clamp, which grips the edge of the table.

Oh shit I didn’t think to include animated!
Rogue, from the X-Men animated series. She’s got fluffy red hair that’s white on top of her head. She’s wearing a green and yellow spandex bodysuit, including gloves, accessorized with a leather jacket and crooked belt.

Repost with your first crush.
A still from the movie Bend It Like Beckham. Several teenage athletes stand around in athletic shorts and sports bras. Kiera Knightley is front and center, looking off camera with her hands on her hips.

Yeah. That’s definitely what I was typing.
A half-written Bluesky post. I’ve typed ‘what a bunch of ass’, and the autocomplete recommends ‘assumptions’ and ‘assassins’.

Hence this meme I keep in my pocket at all times:
A still from a cartoon, or a drawing made to look like one. A girl, perhaps 6 to 8 years old, cowers under a school desk, weeping. In the background, a shiny metal humanoid robot holds a large gun and appears to be scanning the room. The girl is labeled ‘right wingers’, and the robot is labeled ‘their own imaginations’.

Every part of my body, but especially my hips and back, feels better when I use a kneeling chair instead of a standard chair.

There’s a fatal flaw though: no lap. The cats, who aren’t usually lap cats, become enraged lap-deprived cats if I use my kneeling chair.

C’est la vie.
A product photo of a person using a kneeling chair. Instead of a standard seat, it has a padded seat tilted forward, and a pad for the user’s shins to rest against, so the feet are below the butt.

A tumblr post with a timeline of years. 2010-2014 are labeled ’nostalgia’. 2015-2019 are labeled ‘2016’. 2020-2022 (the post was made in 2022) are labeled plague. Someone replies ‘hope this explains it’ Someone else replies with an image reading ‘it does and I hate it’ with the text ‘me irl’. Yet another someone posts ‘if I can just add-‘ with a timeline of 1995 through 2009 labeled ‘10 years ago’

Wow. DoorDash now has AI generated content. How the fuck are restaurants okay with DoorDash just making up pictures and descriptions? Customers won’t get what they think they ordered!

(Pic below is listed for the ‘mixed grill’ at an INDIAN RESTAURANT)
A classic American kettle grill with classic American grill fare: sausages, (American) kebabs, sausages, ears of corn, steak, and something that’s probably supposed to be chicken. This beats absolutely no resemblance to what a customer will get if they order this item. Text under the image: Mixed Grill Mixed Grill from Angaroon ki Peshkash - Assorted grillades with spice level options: hot, medium, mild, spicy, or authentic Indian style.

Three-paw facepalm. Facepaw?
A cat lying on his side with his front paws crossed over his face. One of his back paws is up there too somehow. I’m not sure how, but cats are like that.

Is there a list somewhere of words autocorrect pretends to not know?
A post with ‘masturbated’ typoed as ‘madturbated’. The word has a jagged red underline indicating it is not a word known to the phone’s dictionary, but the pop up over it to recommend corrections says ‘no replacement found’.

Text from a tumblr post, no visible attribution. “*for context, Valerie is old enough that when she was born, women couldn't vote. Sometimes, fools have the hubris to ask her what she thinks of the Good Old Days and she tells them that it's so good that divorce and women's rights has become a thing, instead of having to beat a man to death and blame it on the poor mule" to get out of a bad marriage.”
