An image of the character "Joo Dee" from A:TLA standing in front of a balcony overlooking the city. She is famously meme'd as the character who states "there is no war in Ba Sing Se," which is false and serves as part of a widespread propaganda and disinformation campaign

Kat at the protests:
The scene from Twilight where Bella is beside her red pick-up truck, on the ground, and Edward is crouched towering over her with his hand against the van that nearly hit her. He left a crater in the van's passenger door when he stopped it with his vampire strength and love.

Shilo comes home tomorrow!!! Spent most of today cleaning and sanitizing so he can recover in the living room comfortably

they sent us a picture of him while he's in hospital 😁🥹
Tan dog with white face laying on blankets in a metal kennel. He has an IV port bandaged in place on his paw and a vest-like chest wrap. He's looking impassively into the camera, because he is on painkillers and probably not thinking very much at all

I've had this guy for nearly 25 years and never thought about giving him a prosthetic 🦿
Another win for the kids' unbridled creativity and craftiness
A sheriff action figure is being held above a mess of toys and craft supplies. Where his left leg had been missing from below the knee, a screw and popsicle stick have been fashioned into a prosthetic with a cardboard foot hot glued to the end. The same sheriff figure as the first picture, in a sitting position that shows the bottom of his feet. The prosthetic is a little long and wide but very close to correctly sized (though the super glue is a mess that I will have to trim down later)

A screenshot (from Wikipedia) that says "-touring visitors to the White House usually enter through the East Wing. The East Wing was built on top of the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, a secure emergency underground shelter for the president. As part of a major renovation-"

Measured out the tiles for the bathroom, still need to actually stick em down, but staged the furniture anyway to see how it fits. I would take a bath in this dollhouse
An empty room in a dollhouse. The walls are painted white and a set of mixed white and grey tiles covers the floor. There are windows on the far side and a headlamp lights the space. The room now has a toilet and sink on the right side, with a set of metal shelves in between them. A clear glass bottle of yellow perfume is on the top shelf and a barbie hairbrush can be seen resting on the sink. A blue bath mat sits toward the center of the floor with a bathtub to the left. The windows are now blocked by a heavy folding "screen" made with wood and glass. Between the layers of glass are intricate carved wood scenes of plants and bridges. A "rubber" duck has been placed on the shelves and a mirror now rests above the sink. The "screen" is adjusted so that you can see another panel showing a building under a cliff and more trees.

Sneak peek at my kitchen
A room in a doll house with notebook paper down as drop tarps, an LED headlamp, and a paintbrush half the size of the room. Windows on the far wall are half missing, looking out into darkness. I have painted the walls white. A white fridge, a brown wooden pump sink with cabinets, a cabinet with shelves, and an island have been added to the room from the first photo. The notebook paper has been removed to show wide paneled wooden floors. Chairs now set at the island, one of which holds a paper grocery bag with an image of peas and the word "peas" written across it. The shelves have been staged with pots and pans, dishes, a teapot, an empty glass bottle. More dishes are in the sink. A broom rests against the counter. Two figures have been added to the scene. One is a man, dressed in blue jeans and a brown jacket, and brown brimmed hat. He wears sunglasses and is missing his left leg. He is sitting in a chair facing the other figure. The second figure is a woman with a blue apron and white shirt. She has one hand on her hip and the other holds a basket of eggs to her waist. Her hair is wrapped in a red bandana. In the foreground a sack labeled Columbian coffee is leaned against the counter and a soup pot has fallen on the ground.

Just truly cannot get enough of this guy
Stop motion film The House still of a human sized rat in rags climbing out of the oven in a trashed kitchen (he has given up the fight for capitalist success and reverted to his animal nature, please watch this three part movie it is so good)

"make it mama"
Stu from The Rugrats is standing at the kitchen counter stirring a pot while his wife looks on, concerned, from the doorway. They're both in their bathrobes. It's from the meme'd scene where she asks "why are you making pudding at 4 am?" and he says "because I've lost control of my life"

Cat tax now that things have settled down
Cream orange and white cat lying on a jacket, he looks a little grumpy (he was purring and getting brushed though) Orange and white cat exploring his new bed, which is white, shaped like a milk carton, and says MILK across the top. The cat's tail is orange and white striped. The milk carton says OPEN with an arrow at the place you typically open a milk carton

How does she usually sleep? I'm a side sleeper and I love this style (I just had to throw mine out from getting ruined and need to replace it) and it helps a lot with my tight hips/anterior tilt issues (it is a little small, would be open to something 'wider' if somebody else has something)
a pillow shaped to hold both legs in place with a gentle incline while side sleeping, in order to prevent or manage tight hips

Me sitting on the ground sweating bullets in front of the theater while partner got the car:
Tumblr post by cordeliaflyte: "my deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency." Comment by caracalliope: "Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet you persevered?"

me this morning telling my partner how important writing my bio is and that I can't figure out what I want to say and I shouldn't be struggling this much with 100 words I've rewritten so many times (and then immediately figuring it out like "oh, no, i'm fine")
the "explaining to my mom" meme, with the younger woman intensely explaining herself with teary face and hand gestures and the older woman under a blanket with a blank face, listening.

Anybody made acorn flour? The trees here had a bumper year and I told the kids we'd learn how. Any tips not in the basic online instructions welcome. #acorns #acornflour #acornbread #forage #foodforage
