Without downloading anything, where are you at right now?

The drake 'no/yes' meme grid, redone with Amos (a very tough and violent-looking white man with a full beard and dark hair) from The Expanse tv series.

Top row: Amos, giving a suspicious glare to the camera, as if to say "no". To the right, text over a photo of the Milky Way "Space Billionaires" with "(adj.) under "space", and "(noun)" under "Billionaires". (ie billionaires making money off of space-based capitalist enterprises)

Bottom row: Amos looking blood-thirsty: eyes wide and malicious, mouth open in a threatening grin (he may have blood on his face like he's been punching people). To the right: "Space Billionaires", under "Space" is "(Verb)" and under "Billionaires" is "(Noun)". (ie to throw billionaires out of the ship into the vacuum of space where they'll cease to exist.)

Kingston. NY! I'd say 1200 people maybe? Folks tell me it was many more than the amount that turned up in June. A friend hosted a sign making party, with a monarch butterfly theme and long bamboo poles, which was great because we could always find each other in the crowd.

TBH, even if I usually curate for yuri art, the way you draw Halden is... good? Maybe it's your art style, maybe it's the beard, but I see him and think, "Oh, he seems like a cool guy."

The Dude abided in Tucson today, too! 😂

A man with a beard and long, dirty blond hair (wig) wears a mismatched t-shirt, sweater, jogging pants, sneakers, and sunglasses. His right hand is raised with the "peace" sign (1st two fingers open in a V), and he holds in his left hand a sign on a stick, with the text "THIS AGGRESSION WILL NOT STAND MAN!!"

So, at work the other day, one of my colleagues was really pissed off and decided to take it out on me. Or, more specifically, my facial hair. I love her, she's ace. But I decided to wind her up even more for a laugh.

"Mike, you really need to trim that beard"

"No I don't"

I am probably the luckiest person ever, having 2 bsky bestie meet ups in less 24 hours! Loved meeting @ikaitithere.swifties.social & her mini me, can't wait to try this bread!!! & seeing @pieceofdenisee.bsky.social again, and meeting her fam, too! I just love our community so much!! 🥹❤️‍🔥🥰

2 packages of Kaitie's homemade bread wrapped in brown paper bag with a cellophane window to show off the gorgeous crust of the bread. Taylor stickers and bread puns, included! The bread on the left says: "wanna knead you forever" and "rebreadkah rode up on the afternoon train." The bread on the right says: "eldest doughter" and "... in a gown shaped like a pastry!"

3 girls standing next to each other in front of a grey and red building, taking a selfie. Denise, on the left, has long brunette hair in a ponytail and a purple Gracie Abrams shirt. Kaitie, in the middle, has long strawberry blonde hair, black framed glasses and is wearing a berry colored Toronto Eras shirt. Brit has medium length brunette hair and her sunglasses pushed onto the top of her head and is wearing a black cowboy like me shirt.

3 people standing on a walking path on front of a nicely plotted flower bed. Brit, on the left, ha medium length brunette hair, pink sunglasses, friendship bracelets, a black shirt, jeans and black sandals. Denise, in the middle, has long brunette hair in a ponytail, a purple shirt, grey skirt, and white sneakers. Greg, on the end, has brunette hair and a beard, and is wearing black sunglasses, a red polo shirt, black shorts, and grey sandals.

Replica airplanes on display at a local park. A hurricane and a spitfire on yellow poles, "flying" over green grass and a mulch flowerbed. Trees line the horizon under a cloudy sky.

He obviously didn’t have a strong bond with his beard. It doesn’t even sparkle!

What folk dare to whisper under cover of darkness about Angus Weathervane is steeped in mystery and rumors. Surely those tales of pirates controlling the seas with an army of birds at their command cannot be true? Find out in #AgentsOfGroove!

#gamedev #indiedev #playdate #ScreenshotSaturday

A 1-bit screenshot from the game Agents of Groove. A portrait of a pirate wearing a big hat and a thick black beard is on the right side, over a name tag that says "Angus Weathervane". A bird, likely a seagull from the looks of it, sits on the pirate's shoulder, and appears to wear a tiny bandana above its eyes. Both the pirate and the bird have their mouth open as if shouting angrily. A text box on the left side says "Captain Weathervane for th'likes o' ye!" above an icon representing the A button. The whole thing is over a background that looks like a folder complete with a paperclip in the corner, a coffee mug stain and a stamp partially visible that says "Top Secret".

I have/had full conversations with all my pets.

Pup is just always happy.

Turtle just looks at me like I'm crazy & then walks away.

Ferret would look at me & then bury her face in my beard. If I didn't have my beard, she would let me know of her disapproval.
