I remember seeing these in libraries after the Patriot Act passed
A sign pinned to a bulletin board that reads: The FBI has not been here (watch very closely for the removal of this sign)

Describe your BlueSky account in a single image:
Screenshot from The Two Towers, showing Aragorn in the act of noticing something of interest on the ground in Rohan. Legolas is in the background, surveying the landscape. Aragorn is about to discover signs of the hobbits in the remains of the Uruk-hai camp.

Speaking as someone brought up in the Church this meme continues to be painfully true
Text reading: Every lifelong Catholic I’ve ever met is like “I think we’re supposed to give this food to poor people” and every adult convert is like “the Archon of Constantinople’s epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the Eucharist clearly states women shouldn’t have driver’s licenses.”

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

it's painful how on brand this is
Two people walking on a city sidewalk, side by side. One is saying to the other, "My desire to be well-informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane."

"We will be heading out soon"
Text says "Caption this with the 2nd to last text you sent." Image is the corner of a room that looks like a murder scene with blood on the walls and a chest with a lamp and a small TV which has, on its screen, an image that looks very much like a naked butt.)

Though I've occasionally seen raccoons do this, I'd never had this gait show up in tracks until I trailed one over an open landscape. Here, the canonical side-by-side of their extreme overstep walk morphs into...a lope! #trackinglife #OregonDunes #wildlifetracking
A trail of raccoon tracks across rippled sand. The tracks are in patterns of four: a front foot, another front with the opposite hind landing on top of it, and then a hind foot. This is characteristic of a lope or galloping pattern.

In a month we’ve gone from “yes I will happily scarf down that defrosted raw hamburger that was literally the only meat available” to “this food has been out of the can for more than five minutes so I don’t want it”

The #ShakespeareAdjacent #Kickstarter is nearing its final week! Peep the opening of my contribution in the replies:
An invitation to back the Kickstarter for the anthology Shakespeare Adjacent, with the book’s cover showing a portrait of William Shakespeare, sitting in front of a laptop and holding a smartphone. He has a pair of earbuds in and is wearing a digital watch. In the background are modern objects: a digital photo and an electric lamp.

The #Kickstarter for the anthology #ShakespeareAdjacent is over 1/3 funded! My story, "Bitter Waters; or, the Villain's Appointment" situates a beloved romantic comedy in a post-apocalyptic western. It's got #tracking and robot horses and wide open landscapes and I had a great time writing it.

I just finished TAing a yearlong track and sign class and will be taking an eval in a couple of weeks. Here are some lovely muskrat tracks from the last class!
Small animal tracks in wet sand, front feet with four toes and hind feet with five.

I love this because of how real it is

One of my favorite signs from today, I won’t say where. Do you know who? #trackinglife
A western redcedar tree showing prominent claw marks, 4 in parallel and several inches long.

As someone brought up Catholic he just exemplifies the other half of this meme all the time
Text meme: Every lifelong Catholic I’ve ever met is like I think we’re supposed to give this food to poor people and every adult convert is like the Archon of Constantinople’s epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the Eucharist clearly states women shouldn’t have driver’s licenses

Did not sleep through the alarm this morning, by which I mean this furry bastard got me out of bed to provide breakfast.

Nice Odyssey reference, there, I think.

(From The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman.)
A page with the following text: “Dinadan rode until finally he came to a land where the names Arthur and Camelot had no meaning at all and produced only puzzled looks, and there he rested from his travels. He didn’t know it, but by then he was the very last knight of the Round Table still alive. All the others were gone. And when at last his time came, too, he lay down on a hot dry hill in the shade of an ancient silvery-leafed olive tree, alone except for his horse, and a single tiny perching bird that almost seemed to glow from within, as if it had swallowed a star, though it could just as easily have been a trick of the light.”
