Exercise your right to vote in your local election today. Local elections matter.

Quote skeet with a funny reaction meme you haven't found an opportunity to use yet.
A photo of the late comedian George Carlin looking slightly side eye toward the camera with a quote beside "Think of how stupid the average person is and realize half of them are stupider than that." The quote is attributed to George Carlin.

This week I discovered how quickly your health can change as I passed out & hit my head in our kitchen on Mon causing a subarachnoid punctate hemorrhage and a subdural hematoma. I am going to recover but it is scary how quickly you can go from fully functioning to not able to walk without assistance

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh:
Road sign on a traffic light arm that says SE Shurfine Dr. In my head I hear it like Marsha Brady saying "Sure fine" (instead of Jan).

Post a random picture or else everything in September will go bad.
Worf from Star Trek The Next Generation with a very 1980s poofy hair style. The word "L'Oréal" is over his head and "Because You're Worf It" is below. He is staring with a very serious look on his face.

First attempt at a Chocolate Almond Torte from scratch. Need to figure out a way to transfer it to the serving plate from the cooling rack.
A white plate with various sized, alternating rectangles of blue, yellow, red, and green. On the plate is a dark chocolate torte dusted with powdered sugar. There is a significant crack from the edge toward the middle of the torte.

If you see this, post an image you saved 'cause it made you laugh.
Cross stitch that says "This too shall pass but like holy fuck" sandwiched between a flower and vine motif. I wish I had saved who originally posted it but alas I did not.

Explaining research papers in the pre-internet world to my teenagers.

Me: Picture this Tennessee 1992 ...

Them: 🤷🤔

I think I lost them both at opening the card catalog physically in the library building.

Time to post a random picture on your device without explanation.
A snapshot into my soul ... or it could be a photo of Moo Deng superimposed as the subject of the painting The Scream by Edvard Munch.
