Cheersing you with my lemon drop martini. my cat Basil looks on trying to sniff the martini. No, Basil, it's not for you

Oh no, I have all this extra cheese and crackers. I guess I'll have to have it for dinner. What a shame

Is there anything better than putting on a new dress and discovering it has pockets?

A selfie of me standing in front of a mirror in my new dress. It's a long summer dress with turquoise strips (horizontal at the very top, vertical going down the A line, and bands of polka dots). I'm smiling with one hand in a pocket. Someone might comment on that my mirror is a replica of an old version of MS Paint

This came to me in a dream

The Windows XP Bliss wallpaper (green hills, cloudy blue skies), with 1 addition - a yellow brick road leading to the emerald city (from wizard of oz)

Hey, if it works it works

From the IT subreddit. They say "the user kept kicking off their PC". Below, a photo of a small Tupperware container which has been taped over where the computer has been plugged into the wall

All I'm saying, is that if you've never tried yuzu sake, it is truly dangerously excellent

Holding a bottle of joto yuzu sake at the store, on a shelf with a ton of bottles of it

He looks like jabba the hutt 😂

My cat Biscuit, starting back from his position on the top of a cat tree. Biscuit is very large with a mix of beige and brown colours, and is curled up in such a way that he sort of just looks like a big pile of fur, starring judgingly at you

Picked up some new rubber duck debugging earrings 😆

Holding up earrings - they have little yellow duckies on them

It's got a bunch of tiny rainbows drawn all over it with varying color patterns

What am I missing????

A captcha which I have apparently failed, which says "select all images with a bus". I selected 2 of 9 random street scenes. It seems to think there are more.

London was fun, but glad to be home cuddling with my boys

What do you think, is it a good shirt to go meet some Windows Insiders in?

Do you think hotels compete for the most confusing shower controls?

My hand going "What is this??" gesturing towards two seemingly unnamed metal cylinders stuck in the wall of the shower

8 hr time zone differences make my body confused but there is never not a time for pastries

Holding up a cheesecake croissant square pastry thing

Where's Basil?

A cat tail pokes suspiciously out from a pile of blue blanket with white text all over it. Is that blanket... a blue screen?

Jen Gentleman@jenmsft· Jun 14

Oh, that's uhh.. Yeah, that was a choice

A post on the baking subreddit saying "Made tiramisu using yogurt. Guess what?"

A photo of the tiramisu - it looks sort of normal, but the post continues

"it tastes awful - don't do it guys"

Hello there, beautiful

Holding up a waffle cone of salted caramel ice cream to the sun. Better eat it fast so it doesn't melt

My cat wondering if I'm going to feed him, literally every time I get up

Using Windows in Australia

It's the default Windows 11 Bloom wallpaper (a bunch of swishy blue folds, loosely resembling a flower or bush), flipped upside down so that it appears to hang from the ceiling

Evolution is a funny thing 😅

A 4 panel They Can Talk comic, comparing sailfish and a box fish. If you're not familiar with the two, the sailfish has a slim long grey body with a fin on top and long pointy nose. The box fish is, well... box shaped, yellow and polka dotted. "With its streamlined body, the sailfish can swim at speeds up to 70 miles per hour - it's the fastest fish in the sea", the comic says, now turning to the box fish. "The box fish", it continues, the box fish turning to look you straight in the eye, deer in headlights, "is not".

My new shirt arrived 😁

A selfie of me looking into my phone from the other side of my MS Paint mirror. I'm smiling - the shirt I'm wearing shows a VHS tap, floppy disk and cassette tape, with the text "never forget" (backwards as it's in the mirror)

Would you pet the belly?

My cat Basil, belly up on the bed, looking with one eye into the camera. His belly seems so inviting

Working in tech be like this some days

Anakin and Padme talking to each other. "It's not working", he says. She smiles at him and replies saying "You're going to share details about what exactly you're seeing and mean when you say it's not working, right?". He looks back at her intensely, not saying anything. She starts to lose her smile, and repeats, hesitatingly now "You're going to share details about what exactly you're seeing and mean when you say it's not working... right?"

@swiftonsecurity.com 😂

A post from the Peter Explains the Joke subreddit (where people ask for help understanding memes). It's a picture of Taylor Swift, with the text "Didn't know Taylor Swift was Canadian". The picture of here seems to be behind some bars so her mouth looks cut in half top and bottom as she sings. It looks like how Canadians are portrayed in south park
