A screenshot from discord — person 1 posts a tweet that says “Josh Hart be hooping like he just joined the basketball team after the football team just lost in the 3rd round of the state playoffs” — then person 2 (me) posts “(Trying to participate without knowing the context at all) Sounds like Josh Hartnett without the net am I right”

A cat, in a crowded window full of books, looking aggressively out a window at two mourning doves nesting in an adjacent window
A young calico cat, 8-10 months old, curled up in my denim-clad lap and looking into the camera. He looks calm and confident — a good vibe for a dollar bill portrait.

10 month old Calico sitting in loaf position, back to the camera, observing his automatic feeder, as if it will do anything at this hour of the day (it won’t)
A cozy 10 month old calico kitten, curled up on my sweatpants-clad lap on the couch and facing away from the camera. Blissfully unaware of human concerns, he reaps the benefits made manifest by his prayer warrior uncle every single day.
a white person in a green sweater sits on a couch by a window, as a young calico cat presses himself directly into their face and walks across their chest into their lap. Only one human bespectacled eye is visible and the glasses are askew
10 month old calico kitten sound asleep, splayed across my blanket-covered lap, with one paw touching his beloved feather on a string toy. He’s as big as an adult cat now but the entire scene screams He Is Baby.
My insulated technical sneaker clad feet photographed from above, less than hip width apart, demonstrating how narrow the walkable pathway is on a particular stretch of sidewalk. On either side of my feet is 3-4 inches of frozen snow.
tumblr post from luulapants, Jan 16: My elderly father started talking about how frustrating he finds "the pronouns thing" and I was like. Oh no. He had such a good stand on this, he's been they/them-ing his cishet siblings for god's sake! Is he regressing?? And he was talking about how difficult it is to remember, and how onerous it feels to expect strangers to keep track of it, and I'm like oh no oh no. Then he says, "I mean, the problem isn't the gender thing. The problem is four words: she, her, he, and him. We got rid of stewardess and turned it into flight attendant. It doesn't matter if the flight attendant is a man or a woman, so we got rid of it. We just need to get rid of those. I don't need to know." "You don't need to know... people's gender?" "No. I don't care, I don't need to know, and I don't want to remember it." So we can relax. It's just a continuation of his crusade to they/them the world. He doesn't want to remember anyone's gender. He's abolishing the genders. cut to another tumblr post, from cyborg-alchemist, 15h ago: Your father has the right idea. Gender is your business, not mine. You can trans your gender three times a day, but I'd like to have one pronoun to rule them all because I can't keep up.
Young (10 months) calico cat on my lap, which is covered in a blanket. His little paws are partly covering his little face. He is lopsidedly not entirely on my lap, as kittens are wont to do.

an old tweet from Daniel Kibblesmith, 3:44 pm, December 24 2019: All Christmas carols go: 1st verse (know by heart): Christ was born this day! 2nd verse (vaguely recall): Rejoice for he is a tender and mild king! 3rd verse (that you have zero memory of): The godhead made flesh by virgin womb shall usher in the age of never-death! ALLELUIA!
Calico kitten (7-8 months old) curled up and napping on a blanket on someone’s lap, front paw covering his nose
Seven month old male calico kitten draped over the arm of a couch, basically right under the person taking the photo, as they walk into their living room. The kitten, wide eyed and adorable, with very dilated pupils, is more amped and ready for you to throw the toy than any kitten has ever been.
POV shot of my six month old calico kitten draped over my black-sweatpant-clad lap. He is napping hard, as kittens do.
Screenshot of an Instagram meme posted by rhizomatic_memer. An anime girl sits on a bench and a cat says to her: “Capitalism transforms the parent-child relationship into a transactional relationship. It makes the parent see the child as an investment to put resources into in order to obtain benefits in the futute (financial benefits and social status from their child’s success).

a two panel comic by Kate Beaton, originally published in her long-running webcomic "Hark! A Vagrant" -- a dress-wearing person sitting on a park bench, surrounded by leafless wintry trees, throws breadcrumbs to a duck, while the duck says "aw yiss, mutha fuckin bread crumbs"
A screenshot of an emoji search on social media, where I have typed in the word "salute" to find the salute emoji, and the only emoji result that comes up is the salad emoji. Which is certainly a slant rhyme with salute, if I'm using the phrase "slant rhyme" correctly, but...
