A meme that depicts 2 realities illustrated through comics of gymnasts.

The top half is labeled “Marxists explaining class society”, and the gymnast is walking across a mat in an uncomplicated matter, with captions that state:

If you sell your labor for money
And have no other investments to pay your bills
Then you are working class

The second half of the comic is labeled “Americans explaining class society” and shows a stick figure doing crazy shit… flips, splits mid-air, and flying over a flaming car with the caption:
I make 3% more than the local median income
What even is a means of production (this one is smaller, as if it’s an afterthought)
Even though I'm paycheck to paycheck and can't own property or retire
I'm definitely middle class

Graphic the shows the principal contradictions of capitalism, divided into2 classes.
1 Proletariat: Owns no private property.
Sells labour-power to survive.
2. Bourgeoisie: Owns the means of production.
Hires wage labour for profit.
Land Owners: owns land. Collects rent.

The graphic shows how these 2 overlap and drive shifts between material conditions.

Sunset in Franklin County, Missouri on July 10, 2026

Rolling Missouri hills at golden hour. Rainclouds surround the area. Despite the ominous clouds, the sun setting in the background casts brilliant shadows through the trees onto the field. The field is surrounded by a dark wooded fence.
Shades of orange, yellow, and green are abundant.

Shot of the previous photo of rolling Missouri hills at golden hour, but this one is taken from across the street in a yard. The yard includes a patch of native grasses and zinnias.
Rainclouds surround the area.
Shades of orange, yellow, and green are abundant, along with pops of pink and red from the zinnias.

They have bright pink petals in the shape of a cup. One is fully bloomed with petals extended.

Fuck yeah! My partner quit his job as a bike shop manager (17 years!) to work with an outdoor education group thru Americorps. He’s now an interpreter & historian at a state park living that dream. 🥹 (Despite all this, you’re the reason I get excited when I see spiders now, so off to a good start!)

HELLO, MISS, MIGHT THIS BELONG TO YOU?

A western rat snake curled up on a tree, its body wrapped around a limb. The snake’s head is protruding, and it is staring directly at the camera.
The snake is generally shiny black, but shows some dark brown and black blotches. The underside (which we can see from the environmental of the mouth) is white.

whoops i just accidentally uncovered a reptile egg in the phlox. (screaming crying throwing up bc i love the biodiversity of our yard)

A white, spongy, egg-like object is pictured lying in a bed of dirt and mulch. It is nestled among native phlox that have already lost their flowers for the season.

Rest assured, the egg was re-covered and left (as undisturbed as possible).

If you see this, post a concert photo you took. I always liked this one of the sisters of JOSEPH in their matching jumpsuits @ Delmar Hall in St. Louis.

They’re wearing red jumpsuits with aqua and white striping detail.

These people should be outed in their communities as unsafe pieces of shit. They’re white supremacists plain and simple.

“Christine has received requests to buy the fossil but she intends to keep it in her collection”

Screenshot from the article of a photo of a woman holding the smiling fossil with her pointer finger and thumb, with her remaining 3 fingers splayed.
She’s wearing a lovely navy coat with fur around the hood. Her hair is subtly blowing in the wind. She’s staring at her rare find admiringly.
The photo is by Tony Jolliffe / BBC.
The caption is: Christine has received requests to buy the fossil but she intends to keep it in her collection

I want to know who thought this was a good idea!!

Holiday display in town 4-way stop. There is a vintage blow mold of a Christmas choir boy with his head replaced by a large, realistic doll head.
It is out of place, and slightly disturbing.
