Yes we fight for bread, but we fight for roses too. They/them or may/hem. Old on the Internet.

Johnny Knoxville waving the fuck out of a Progress Pride flag from a shopping cart-shaped float in the West Hollywood parade absolutely healed me.

Today we went to Pheasant Branch and saw a new to me animal, the thirteen-lined ground squirrel! (Hilariously i kept taking screen shots but never actually got a photo with my app 😂)

one bonus of this weather is my hair is hella curly. (also new t shirt alert!)

i prefer to think of them as whale wishes, myself. (but seriously, the sky whales are truly magical.)

Does anyone know why the #Artemis crew all appear to be wearing multiple watches? I assume that at least half of them are fitbit-type monitoring things, but curious if anyone has more info.

Screenshot of a video showing the four Artemis II astronauts in the Orion capsule. Each of them appears to have a wristwatch on one wrist as well as a similar device on the other.

More pictures besides my ridiculous face. I’m leaving out group shots, but you can see those on @spryfox.bsky.social’s posts. Cannot stress enough how much i love this game and how gorgeous it is.

This game has been an amazing antidote to The Horrors. If you’re looking for a cozy game with community, Spirit Crossing is lovely and you should join us! (Come to tell me how much i look like my dad, lmao, stay for the amazing Ghibli vibes)

Screenshot from a video game of a white character wearing a slate blue sleeveless shirt with a stylized dark blue flower on their chest and a dark blue bandanna knitted around their neck. They have messy dark hair and a mustache and are also wearing a backpack and safety glasses. Behind them is a sunset-limned mountain and clouds, as well as a blue glowing beacon.

we all sang her happy birthday (also peep that sick neon green bass, it lights up so well under everything but the red lights, obvs)

A band on stage with the house lights up; they and the audience are singing to the woman in the chair from before

Somebody’s sixty-something parents are at this show and it’s the cutest fucking thing, y’all

View from behind of a man and woman in their sixties sitting in chairs at a standing room punk show in the back of a bar. The chairs are lit red by the lights, and the rest of the room is bathed in green lights and black shadows.

Only using food, where are you from?

A fried pork tenderloin sandwich that is literally bigger than the platter it’s served on. Atop it is a bun, so absurdly dwarfed by the tenderloin that it looks like a cute lil hat.

A lot is going on in the world, but this little bean is fifteen years old today, and still one of the best things to ever happen to me. Happy birthday, Franklin Rottenbutt. <3

First time i haven’t had an undercut (or weird mohawk mullet) in a decade. I was ready for a change.

“but uncle k8,” you may ask, “why was the bread in the microwave?” first of all, it wasn’t just bread. second of all, let me remind you of the time my dog unwrapped sixteen individually wrapped croissants and ate them. or this bag of flour she murdered this week.

A box with the outer bag and then sixteen empty chocolate croissant wrappers.

duo’s really been into body horror lately

duo, a green cartoon bird, making a shocked face as his brain shoots out of his head. his brain also somehow has the same facial expression.

overtired and overdue for a haircut, and wondering if there isn’t some sort of 50s James Dean/Brandoesque hairstyle trying to claw its way out. (i feel due for a change…) (there is an easter egg in this image for @strangetree.emilydare.net… answer in alt text)

a white genderqueer person in a blue undershirt taking a picture of themself in a bathroom mirror. their hair is a tousled, overgrown undercut. their toothbrush hangs out of their mouth in an imitation of a tough guy’s cigarette, matched by the dubious imitation of a tough guy’s skeptical look on their face. they are holding a fabulous rainbow-on-outer-space phone case in their hand, taking the picture. barely visible behind them is a ridiculous stuffed animal elephant named Dean Famularo, although only a couple of people will understand that. suffice to say it is a ridiculous creature.

When your wife is asleep on you and you suddenly feel like you’re being watched:

A black cat perched on the arm of a chair facing the bed. Behind him are an orrery on an end table and a handful of art prints and embroidery on the wall. His eyes aren’t visible, but one white whisker is.

It’s organ time, baybeeeeeeee

An organ console, a chair, a music stand and a microphone on an otherwise empty stage. Above and behind the stage are the organ pipes, arranged in two overlapping sine curves to great effect. There are modern balconies to either side.
