I didn't save a lot of screenshots from the bad place but this was a good one.
Screenshot of a Sparknotes post on Twitter from 3/15/21: "On this day in 44 BC, Julius Caesar looked around and said, "Kind of a weird vibe in here." C.E. Tidswell replies: "He died the ideal way, surrounded by friends."

My kids have grown up with this over the dinner table. Family values.
Decorative china plate that reads, "In the house, we laugh a lot, love often, and punch every fucking Nazi we see."

When my kid was in 6th grade she had an ELA curriculum that included no fiction at all; they just read scientific articles about climate change. It was a miserable year and this was her visual representation. The layers of awful here. (Not the drawing, I think the drawing is rad.)
Drawing of "FACT 2000" teaching machine shooting students with "facts" while one lies dead and bleeding from a FACT wound and another cowers behind a desk.

We were late adopters to the pandemic puppy phenomenon -- we already had an elderly dog and a middle aged dog in 2020; we didn't have space for puppies -- but adopting this tiny monster in the terrible autumn of 2021 was one of the best decisions we've made as a family. Three years today.
Two dogs on a bundle of blankets on a gray sofa. One dog is a large brown and white German Shorthair pointer, regal and slightly disturbed, while the other is a tiny white puppy in a fuzzy pink sweater who is determined to make the big dog love her.
