lookit this ding dong! haha
Photo taken out a window at an ornate bird feeder. A northern flicker is hanging off of it, curled awkwardly to reach its head inside, and balancing with its tail pushed up underneath. Photo taken out a window at a northern flicker sitting right outside on a wooden railing where there's a handful of peanuts and sunflower seeds. The scene behind him is very wintery.

it's about 22" across from armpit to armpit, maybe too big for you nowadays but if you want it I will mail it to you. zero pressure

hey this is a possibly weird but I have a thrifted shirt you might want? it's cute but also the brand name a bit amusingly is:
close up of the tag on a shirt, which reads IONA Lady's Boutique (also incidentally some of the wooden hanger is visible and the fragmented phrase "WHERE IT" is visible)

an instagram post from Squamish SAR with a photo of them rescuing an injured person from a rocky forest area adjacent to water. they are warning us to wear proper footwear and stay well back from the water falls, as they saw about 40 people - many wearing flip flops or carting coolers with them - while up there performing the rescue.

A tweet from 2023 by user named "a hungry mouth" with about 30 thousand likes, which reads: i am a simple man. when my possessions wear out i desire merely to replace them with the exact same thing. unfortunately every manufacturer considers this fucking illegal we stopped making that fifteen years ago. would you like this shitty plastic one instead? we sell a lot of those i'm going to become the andy rooney

juvenile house finches and their brief Time of Eyebrows always crack me up
Photo of a roundish, brownish bird sitting on a wooden fence, fairly nondescript overall except it has very obvious white fluffy feathers above the eyes which give it a muppet-like hilarious character

a grey pitbull type dog is flopped lazily right in the middle of a cluster of large garden pots and containers of soil where I am obviously trying to get some work done on my deck

ancient them: haven't seen you in ages, what've you been up to this past year?
ancient me: made a shirt
them: oh no shit? wow. twill weave?
me: diamond twill, yeah
them: (slow whistle of appreciation) damn. you've been busy

decided I needed my apartment to get weirder and funnier and more colorful so, among other things, I painted what I'm calling an amoeba portal on the wall of my living room.
a pink room with an arch shape painted from floor to ceiling on one wall - it's mostly bright red, with a deep purple border, and I used painters tape to mask circle shapes so it has a kind of polka dot effect all around the edge as well.

some days I go out and it's just like this? out there on my roof deck? today there were *at least* thirty of them. I don't know what we're doing honestly I'm just happy to be included
A photo of my roof deck taken on a rainy day, mountains peaking through clouds in the background, with at least a dozen crows sitting spread out all along the railing and rooftop, plus one on the picnic table more in the foreground.

I cross stitched this ol' dirty portrait as a wedding gift for my oldest friend
a very detailed cross stitch embroidery portrait of ol' dirty bastard from the wu tang clan, stitched in various tones of green and a bright green cloth background, in a gold painted frame. at the bottom is text stitched which says: rappinin' is what's happenin'

i had to come back to this thread because (while looking for murphy bed diy ideas today) i just found this custom cabinet makeover deal where the paint situation kept being referred to as "color drenching" and i just... ?!?
A photograph of a room with a wall of built in cabinets that are painted to match the room's walls, doors and possibly ceiling, all of which are a uniform flat grey with I guess a touch of green.

for anyone unfamiliar with palissy majolica plates and platters I really would like to inject them somewhere in this many-threaded journey you've got going here. they are pottery and not food and yet something about creatures in a translucent matrix really just [swirls hands around]
a garishly colorful glazed antique majolica plate with a three dimensional tromple-l'oeuil big leggy crap and some swirling decorative elements that look kind of sea swampish. someone on the gaudy creepy beautiful spectrum. a similar pottery plate but with a sculpted pile of fish in the middle surrounded by insects and snails and lizards.

you can apparently make a several-course meal out of sproingy-textured, moulded "salads"
A vintage ad entitled "Now, pudding is salad." It shows a sort of gelatinous moulded pale brick of food plated on lettuce, and the recipe included says it's made from jell-o lemon pudding, sugar, egg, dream whip, crushed pineapple, chopped grapes or maraschino cherries, diced banana, and chopped pecans.
