I don't believe I've ever had the opportunity to introduce you to Phil

He's a tin lizzy.
A two-foot long lizard named Phil made out of hammered tin hangs upside-down from a ceiling. The ceiling is white, the walls are dark green, there are a couple of empty black shelves in the background. Phil has a long curled tail, three toes on each foot, and his head is tilted up slightly to face the couch. (Off screen)

This is the meme that's been going around and I legit inhaled my coffee first time I saw it.

(if you don't know, reports came out a few years ago that pre-Ronald Nancy was famous in Hollywood for being generous with her BJs. This is how you know I spend too much time online that I know this shit.)
A photograph of Nancy Reagan shaking hands with a younger Donald Trump and smiling. Ronald is in the background smiling at somebody who's face is hidden.

The scruffy old man in question.
A slightly scruffy and very spoiled long-haired grey tuxedo cat sits on a black leather couch. There is a knitted throw in pink/blue/grey stripes under him because he leaves a trail of cat hair everywhere he goes. You can see the claw damage on the base of the couch because he is a monster. He wants to know why you aren't petting him right this very minute.

I'm visiting friends in a couple of weeks and there is a covid spike going on. I was hoping the new vaccine would be available before I go, but no such luck. I debated getting boosted with the last one, but it looks like that's not an option either.

So pack some Profi and cross my fingers I guess.
A screenshot of the Ontario government vaccines page. "The spring COVID-19 vaccine season for all eligible individuals ended on June 30, 2025. Updated COVID-19 vaccines for eligible individuals 6 months and older will be available in fall 2025. This page will be updated when COVID-19 vaccines are available in the fall."

Oh my fucking GOD today I found out that the contractor didn't have the city come out for the mandatory inspections of the foundations and walls before slapping drywall up.
Screenshot from the movie Airplane. A disheveled looking white man in a white shirt and loose tie has his finger holding one nostril closed while he jams a glue tube in the other nostril. The text reads "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue"

Andre Norton, Moon of Three Rings. I don't remember anything about the story but I remember the cover like it was yesterday.
First edition cover of Moon of Three Rings by Andre Norton. A person is facing away from the viewer in an olive cloak with the hood raised, they are holding what looks like a wand in their left hand. A very leggy canine is standing next to them, it has a mane and long pointed ears. There are what look like animal-drawn carts (without the animals) at the foot of a distant mountain. The vegetation is sparse and the ground looks to be covered in snow. At the top of the image there is a moon in a pale cloudy sky, the moon has three concentric rings.

Tell me your pet's name with a gif.
A painting of Major General Sir Isaac Brock, painted by John Wycliffe Lowes Forster. He is a white middle-aged man standing three-quarters to towards the viewer while staring off to the right. He is wearing a red army jacket with gold buttons and lapels and grey breeches. His left hand rests on the pommel of a sword, his right on a parchment opened on a table by his hip. The background is black. Sir Isaac Brock was in charge of preparing the defences of Upper Canada in case of war, and made his fame by successfully fending off Americans forces the last time they tried to invade JUST MENTIONING FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

From today's walk
A picture taken through a storefront window. An open green valise with a brown padded interior is open facing the window. An olive tabby cat is curled up inside the valise. He barely fits inside. A tin watering can with flowers and dried plants sits on the counter next to him. You can just see my reflection in the window, taking his picture. There is a white card with a hand-drawn cartoon of the cat's face that says Follow Me Pecos At Hide. I had to stop to see if this guy was a real cat because I thought he was stuffed for a minute. Then his paw started twitching the way they do when they're dreaming.

I had to read this three times.
A poster on a hydro pole for THE VELOUR UNDERGROUND LIVE! Every Monday in May at the Cameron House. The poster is designed to imitate the Velvet Underground & Nico album cover, using the same font and with the iconic banana taking up a third of the poster. The band headshots are in black & white down the left side, all in dark sunglasses to look as much like VU members as possible. I stood at the corner through an entire red-to-green-to-red light signal changes staring at this thing and trying to figure out what I was looking at.

Last time I grew tomatoes was about 6-7 years ago. I just found the envelopes of seeds I saved from them and decided to toss them in some dirt to see if a few of them are still alive.

I may have miscalculated slightly.
Five egg cartons have been labelled and filled with dirt. The one labelled "brown" is empty. The one labelled "cherry" has three tiny sprouts starting. The remaining three egg cartons have over 200 seedlings growing like stink and reaching in the direction of the window.

Shot of a porch cluttered with bicycles and strollers. There is an election sign strapped to the porch railing. It's black with white text that says: "ELECT DARTH VADER: Together we can rule the galaxy." It is sponsored by The Galactic Empire Party.

From today's walk.
A very battered-looking "HELLO my name is" sticker is stuck to the side of a mailbox. The person who put up the sticker wrote "ACAB" in large friendly pastel-blue letters.

Posted for a friend. Details of the project can be found at www.robinwolfe.com
A flyer with a picture of a overlapping hearts stitched in multip-coloured threads around the words "the threads that bind us". The text of the flyer reads: Share your story! I'm a queer textile artist working with the Carter/Johnson Library & Collection (CJLC) to preserve 2SLGBTQ+ history. I'm looking for memories from everyday 2SLGBTQ+ people, told in their own words, to make a book with original artwork. (We all have experiences worth saving!) If you have a memory to share, please use the QR code or visit https://www.robinwolfe.com for details. Thank you for reading. The threads that bind us, hold us together.

A closeup of a section of garage door. The door is white and there is writing on it in black sharpie. The writing says "If you throw or trash food or yucky stuff here you will be mildly CURSED."
