Mine had a cool stripe tho
I white four door sedan with flip-up headlights and black contrast piping around the middle of the body just along the line with the top of the tires. It's parked on a road in a forest. Nobody is there. They're probably all dead now.

"Bridge with Car Crash" by @never.horse very excited to expore this book and maybe not damage all the plants i explore.
Red novel-length book sitting on a red couch. The cover says "SARA or I lived my life as a cloud that followed overhead" by Never Angeline Nørth. In the middle of the cover is a yellow pear laying on its side with seven flies crawling on it. The pear is the same color as the name SARA.

black-and-white cartoon from The Far Side by Gary Larson. Laundry room scene at home. Arrows point toward the open front-loading dryer. "cat fud" is written by each of the arrows. The cat is pondering the gaping maw of the dryer. It's pitch black inside. We don't know if it is empty in there. The dog is hiding behind the nearby washer. His thoughts are revealed by a thought bubble reading "oh please, oh please..."

hello chicago it's been a while
View of lake michigan at montrose beach looking south. Rocky shoreline on the right that curves around to the center of the far distance, where the sandy beach can be faintly seen. The water is as james joyce would write snotgreen, but in a good way.

Normal morning in central Illinois.
Foggy picture of a bunch of giant metal farm silos in the background of a road intersection with more traffic lights than driving lanes. A maroon tesla is driving toward you. Will you stand your ground? Nobody can see anything.

Still photo from a performance of Prokofiev's opera Love for Three Oranges. A man in khaki military gear and multiple fanny packs stands with arms out bewildered in between two giant orange-shaped eggs that are split at their equators with the top halves opened up to reveal a woman in each of them wearing white tunics with their heads down chin against chest.

INTRODUCTION Plaintiff Shira Perlmutter is a renowned copyright expert who has served with dignity as Register of Copyrights since October 2020, when she was lawfully appointed to her role by the Librarian of Congress. As Register, Ms. Perlmutter is a critical advisor to Congress on matters of important legislative interest and administers the Nation’s copyright system. As part of a lawless effort to seize control over Congress’s library, Defendants have attempted to remove Ms. Perlmutter from her post: first, by the President’s purported dismissal of Ms. Perlmutter; and next by the President’s arrogation of the unilateral power to appoint Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as Librarian of Congress, who then purported to replace Ms. Perlmutter. But neither the President’s purported removal nor Mr. Blanche’s purported replacement of Ms. Perlmutter had any legal effect because the President lacks any authority to remove the Register of Copyrights or appoint an acting Librarian of Congress. Defendants’ actions are blatantly unlawful, and they threaten severe and irreparable harm to Ms. Perlmutter and her ability to fulfill the duties entrusted to her under the law. This Court should enter a temporary restraining order that confirms that Defendants’ actions to remove Ms. Perlmutter have no legal effect, ensures that Ms. Perlmutter can resume her work as Register of Copyrights, and prevents Defendants from encumbering Ms. Perlmutter’s efforts to perform the duties that Congress has entrusted her.

ALT TEXT (forgot to include with image):
ARGUMENT I. Plaintiff is Likely to Succeed on the Merits Plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits of her claims because she lawfully remains the Register of Copyrights. Only the Librarian of Congress may appoint the Register of Copyrights, and only the Librarian of Congress may remove the Register of Copyrights. The President’s purported removal of Ms. Perlmutter was therefore invalid because he is not the Librarian of Congress. Mr. Blanche’s purported removal of Ms. Perlmutter was also invalid. Mr. Blanche is plainly not the Librarian of Congress; that would require the advice and consent of the Senate, see 2 U.S.C. § 136-1, which has not weighed in. Nor is Mr. Blanche the acting Librarian of Congress because the President lacks any authority to appoint him as such.

Here's the relief requested by the Complaint (which as usual is broader than just what is sought in the TRO)
PART I OF THE REQUESTED RELIEF: REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court: (A) Enter a preliminary and permanent injunction ordering Mr. Blanche not to exercise the powers of acting Librarian of Congress, Defendants not to purport to appoint any other individual to be acting Librarian of Congress, Mr. Perkins not to exercise the powers of acting Register of Copyrights, and any actions taken or contemplated to be taken by Mr. Blanche or any other improperly appointed person as an officer of the Library of Congress to be void ab initio and without effect; (B) Enter a preliminary and permanent injunction ordering that Plaintiff Shira Perlmutter may not be removed from her office as Register of Copyrights and Director of the U.S. Copyright Office, or in any way be treated as having been removed, denied, or obstructed PART 2 OF REQUESTED RELIEF: in accessing any of the benefits or resources of her office, or otherwise be obstructed from her ability to carry out her duties, absent a decision by a lawfully appointed Librarian of Congress to remove her from that office. (C) Declare that the Federal Vacancies Reform Act does not authorize the appointment of a temporary acting Librarian of Congress. (D) Declare that Plaintiff Shira Perlmutter remains the Register of Copyrights and Director of the U.S. Copyright Office, Mr. Blanche has not lawfully been appointed as the acting Librarian of Congress, and Mr. Newlen remains the acting Librarian of Congress; and (E) Award all other appropriate relief.

RETVRN
An original US Final Fantasy 3 super nintendo cartridge from 1993, SNS-F6-USA. It has a 00 stamped on the back, so that means it's an original with Relm's sketch glitch that can freeze the game and corrupt saved files. But you should give her the Fake Moustache and control those monsters anyway. Or just cast magic, she has the best magic power of your giant party.
