Is it just this?
Family Guy skin color chart meme: Peter Griffin from Family Guy cartoon (large white man) in driver's seat of vehicle that is pulled over. Outside the window a white arm in blue long sleeve shirt holds up a color chart, where palest peach tones are labeled 'okay' and darker, browner tones are labeled 'not okay.' the person outside the car is comparing Peter's skin to the chart.

And this week I'm ready for your thread 😄
I don't know how I came to have so much of Bills mafia in my following, but it must be because they're all- around awesome. *hat tip*
Selfie in a mirror. Bottom half of a white blonde lady's face (me) holding a black phone case (short nails with chipped paint) wearing a red t-shirt with an A on the left shoulder and KC written over a white arrowhead. Mirror and picture cut off below the arrowhead on the chest.

Same here 😂
My furry muppet of a dog, 10 lbs of grey to light brown fluff, passed out on his side on the floor next to an entertainment center with a large TV. The bottom of the screen, with the world series, is just visible.

I kinda want to know what you think of my flatware. Spouse spent what seemed like a. lot. of time deciding on this design when we were doing the wedding registery. But almost 15 years later, he still likes them and they still function (and they're still available for purchase apparently).
Salad & dinner forks, rounded tip knife (like for spreading butter rather than cutting), kinda normal elongated round soup & teaspoons. All have a shiny finish. Handles widen slightly along the length to a square or rectangular shape at the base, with a gentle quarter-turn twist (over the top to the left) about 2/3 of the length.

I do not like the small part of me that immediately thought "reap what you sow, motherfucker," but I acknowledge that part of me has the wheel this afternoon.
Reads "sending...." in fancy font over a picture of a small pile of (tater)tots and two pears

Large head of a small dog resting on the arm of a recliner. His eyes are mostly concealed by light brown straight unkempt hair. His nose is brown. His chin hairs are wet. The rest of his body, resembling a russet potato, is barely visible in the bottom right of the photo.

Merriam-Webster only shows the rhymes-with-launch one; then again, no one but no one fails to understand the speaker when it rhymes with ranch.
