Stalks of Beardstongue with purple blossoms reach upward in the foreground of a photograph taken alongside a weathered house. In the background, canary yellow bearded iris blossoms appear among the grass lining the basement windows.
A recycled scrap of paper in a desk drawer reveals a scrawled message from activist Pattie Gonia, who hiked across California to perform at a drag show and raised money at every mile. These notes and stickers were sent to people who donated to the campaign. "We did that!!! $1,196,803.00 raised for 8 BIPOC & queer nonprofits THANK YOU SO MUCH!" above the desk drawer is a water bottle decorated with one of Pattie's stickers from the campaign, in a static-y font "FERAL BISEXUAL"
Native prairie beardtongue has started to blossom in an otherwise nondescript side yard, and while the bloom time is brief, the tubular, pale purple flowers are quite lovely
Sky picture shot from the forest floor in Minnesota, the trees appear to grow from the edge of the frame and corners where the trunks appear. It is not yet warm enough for the buds in this forest to have leafed out yet, and the nearly-bare branches seem to reach out toward the center of frame, with many clouds obscuring the sun against a deep blue sky
A tearaway calendar of the comic strip "Pearls Before Swine" features Goat and Rat having a conversation on Monday, April 20th. Goat asks, "Am I the only one worried about the fact that so many states have now legalized online sports betting?" Rat replies, "Yes. It's fun. So get with the times, you insensitive ninny... Oops. Just lost the house. My opinion on the subject is changing."
A list of countries that the Russia and the USSR have attacked, with a Bluesky moderated label citing Misogynoir under OP's header post: "And Americans love saying that Russia is not an enemy. History matters, a lot"
A placard with the phrase "Does this ASS Make my COUNTRY LOOK SMALL?" superimposed over a frightful picture of an orange shitgibbon with an arrow pointing at the face of said shitgibbon who is truly bright orange in real life. And, yeah, it (the aforementioned face [labeled "ASS"] shitgibbon) does make the United States look really puny and pathetic.
A small human in a cotton candy-colored coat walks toward the exit at a Hy-Vee grocery, clutching a pale pink ribbon attached to a circular helium balloon with pink flowers and a purple background. The text on the balloon reads, "Happy Women's Day".

A screenshot of Pattie Gonia's million dollar backpacking trip fundraiser. Pattie is holding an equality forward Pride flag with text printed that reads, "100 miles in drag. $1 million. Mile tracker 91/100" and below the header is $1,002,354 raised from 30.5k donations.
Screenshot of a FB Messenger conversation between two friends, context being they've known each other for decades. Person A asks for Person B's phone number to send a confirmation code. Person B agrees, saying, "Yes of course! But first, we must prove you're not a robot ;)" Person B asks a question that only Person A would know the answer to, and the final line in the display is "This person is unavailable on Messenger".
Image of best-selling graphic novel "THEY CALLED US ENEMY" by George Takei, a receipt from Minneapolis bookstore Magers and Quinn between the pages, taken on a shady porch from a seated position. The cover features a small child, holding a suitcase in their right hand, in a queue of families under armed guard within the barbed wire walls of a 1940's United States internment camp. The child has a look of apprehension, and it is clear they do not understand what is happening, or why, as they worriedly look back over their shoulder at the reader.
Older trees are budding against a blue afternoon sky, lining the grassy background of a large-scale chessboard in the fore of this picture taken in a park near a playground. Leashed dogs and bubbles drift lazily behind the 3 children playing with (and 1 adult overseeing) a 10ft portable board of plastic, sand-filled chess pieces.
Pictured are a mish-mash shelf of books, upright, some on their side, upon a geometric cloth against a matte blue wall, a sad snake plant in the corner. Titles include "Dinotopia", "Eaters of the Dead", "Born a Crime" and "But Not the Hippopotamus"
A nondescript black refrigerator looms close to the camera, with a tiny white clip magnet in the foreground. On the front of the clip, in blue letters, are the words "Keep SMILING". Along the side of the refrigerator is a purple foam magnet in the shape of the "V", and items atop the fridge (in various sizes) include leather mugs, a mason jar with a plant watering globe sitting inside, a potted palm and coffee cups.
A landscape photo featuring terraced rapids rising high into a forest that fills the frame, with trees barely beginning to show branches, for how tall their trunks are and ancient they may be. Green grass pokes through in the foreground, where dappled sunlight has broken through the clouds in patches. A rushing stream of water cascades from the horizon/middle of the photo; wide enough that it hits both sides of the frame in the foreground. White water ribbons turn out from both directions of the rocky and tree-dotted shoreline. A particular boulder in the center is worn smooth and features several craters and craggy niches. With a little more sunshine, it may turn green with moss. A picture of Great Smoky National Park, by K.J.
