I this this map may better place the Lower 48 for some people.
An overlay of the Lower 48 states on eastern Asia. The northwest corner is in Ukraine. San Diego is in Türkiye. Florida reaches the Pakistan/India border. The northeast corner reaches the point where Russia, Mongolia, China, & Kazakhstan meet.

Post a random picture or else everything will go bad in September.
An outdoor deck & railing covered in snow. There is a small stack of lumber against the railing in the foreground & a slopey yard with snow-covered trees in the background.

Had quite a few butterflies & a hummingbird in the overgrown beds so far.

Unsure, but you may find answers in this book. It's quite good... and I'm 5th gen Yinzer. 😁

Sluggo?
Sluggo from the Mr. Bill shorts. He is a blue clay figure wearing yellow shoes & tank top. The tank top is also yellow with a red S in the center. His face is angry & his eyes are red.

Demon Core, but starchier.
A pot of boiling pasta on a stove top. The glass lid is propped open with a wooden spoon to avoid boiling over.

Personally, I'm ok with bringing back pillories for them.
Greyscale engraving of a man standing on a raised (~5 ft) platform with his head and wrists bound between two horizontal boards. Many people surround the platform staring at him and mocking his fate.

I got a lot of inappropriate questions about this dude & his willingness to get his face eaten by leopards.

Close-up.
A chocolate poodle mix stares at the camera. His puppy-dog eyes want you to know that he's never been fed... ever. His name is Ozzy, & he would like for everyone to send treats. Also, if you could please pay attention to him, because his snoot remains unbooped.

But also, we've all seen him in street clothes. I love PAC, but he looks too normal wearing anything but ring gear.
In a kitchen, an older woman wearing a yellow shirt smiles at her son, The Bastard PAC, who is wearing a polo shirt & casual pants. His hair is pulled back into a loose ponytail, and he wears an unassuming pair of glasses.

Quote skeet with a picture saved on your phone that expresses your feelings right now.
Simpsons Bus Driver meme. A bus driver stares ahead and says, It's that time of the year again, don't make me tap the sign. Second panel shows a yellow hand pointing to a sign that reads: don't fucking donate to the Salvation Army.

One request: please use alt text on your photos. It takes a few times to get used to it, but there's also a nice setting to remind users.

Science & cuteness for everyone!
The accessibility settings screen with "require alt text before posting" toggled on.
