a photo of today’s garden haul on a wooden table in front of a window with a green lace curtain. there are maybe 20ish cherry tomatoes in a small, aqua-colored ceramic bowl. a lone orange marigold is perched in a small glass bud vase. and some signet marigolds and a regular yellow marigold and a sprig of purple linaria are in a small, long-necked green wedgewood jasperware vase.
a photo of a small raised bed garden, approximately 4ftx12ft. it does not have plants in pretty, organized rows. it’s divided up into square feet and it looks a little haphazard with flowers here and veggies there but i promise there’s some logic to it.
a highly pixelated, zoomed-in screenshot from the quoted video that makes it look like taika has an exceedingly impressive bulge. like, i’m talkin’ halfway to his knee. like move over costco, there’s another impressive footlong in town.
a clip from the tv show ER. a phone is ringing in the emergency room. a man wearing a chicago cubs football helmet and with a bloodied bandage on his arm toddles up to the phone, sits down and picks it up. after a beat he says “hello? n-n-no this isn’t the er, this is patrick.”
same photo and alt text as in the original post
a screenshot from instagram from the videos of trevor noah’s world cup watch party of taika hugging trevor. there’s a red tattoo or drawing on taika’s left arm that i don’t remember seeing before. it is right next to his bicep which is bulging as he squeezes trevor in an undoubtedly tight hug.
a screenshot of my bluesky top 5 trending topics with mel brooks at number two
a cropped screenshot from the posted video with the closed caption of siobhan saying "it's mostly a porn show with some pirates in it" referencing black flag and ally beardsley looking directly into the camera with a look like someone just opened their ao3 history which is obviously rife with ofmd fic of the porniest variety
a clip from this week's adventuring party (where the cast of dimension 20 debriefs the most recent episode) where siobhan mentions the show black flag and is talking about how porn-y it is and ally seems confused about what show siobhan is talking about and interrupts with "our flag means death???" ALLY BEARDSLEY THINKS OFMD IS PORNY, ALLY BEARDSLEY IS CONFLATING THE SHOW WITH THE FANWORKS, ALLY BEARDSLEY CREW FOR LIFE CONFIRMED
a screenshot from an instagram video of two older men after one just proposed to the other. taika commented “❤️❤️❤️🥰”
a screenshot from my instagram stories from the fredrogersproductions account of a post soliciting donations. the number 143 is all over the post: it’s on a piece of paper that mister rogers is holding up in the photo, it’s in a logo at the top of the post, it’s in the donate window, etc.

a picture of a red eyed vireo standing in a mulch garden bed next to a shrub
a picture of a gray catbird perched on some bare branches of a maybe-dead bush with other shrubbery in the foreground and a lawn and some forest in the background
a screenshot of ofmd fanart. url bar at the top indicates i found it via twitter. bar at the top also reads 2:54 (am) and my battery life hanging on by a thread. the art is incomparably beautiful. a bearded stede in a signature billowing-sleeve white shirt holds a shirtless, bearded ed, both asleep (or seemingly so) in an embrace. we see an arm of ed’s wrapped around stede and holding the small of his back. one of stede’s hands holds onto ed’s shoulder while the other is in ed’s hair with tendrils laced in and over and around fingers. they’re lying in what looks like a very comfy bed under a floral maroon comforter. there is sunlight streaming through a window that’s mostly hitting stede’s arm but is very close to hitting ed’s face, and you know that it’s moments away from doing so and gently waking him up and he’s gonna be so warm and feel so safe and loved in those arms and i just 🥺🥹
a screenshot of my camera roll which is full of screenshots of mick fleetwood making a variety of wild faces and gestures while he vibes out during the 1997 live performance of silver springs where stevie nicks definitely hexes lindsay buckingham
a screenshot of mick fleetwood vibing on the drums during the 1997 live performance of silver springs when stevie nicks is absolutely casting a spell on lindsay buckingham. mick’s eyes are wide and he looks like he’s screaming, but he’s just vibing while playing the drums, man.
an image of stede from ofmd s1 in the white suit in jackie’s saying “hi all!” with his arms extended in a flourish. below that is a superimposed image of jim henson looking into a monitor held by another guy (dave goelz i think?) and extending his arm up making it look like he’s puppeteering stede. there’s a subtle edit of stede’s pants making it look like the puppet sleeve thing that jim has his hand up, and it looks like jim’s other hand is holding the stiff wires that control the hands from below. tldr; stede looks like a muppet and it looks like jim henson is controlling him and his movements.
a screenshot from a neighborhood forum post showing the title which says “please sign ‘ed tech’ petition!” with the word “announcement” underneath and the poster’s name and email scribbled out in a rich, warm purple color that i always associate with one edward teach from our flag means death.
an image from our flag means death season 2 where ed is chained to the ship. his arm is in a very 💪🏼 pose and his bicep is fucking POPPING jesus h christ i wanna sink my teeth into it, it’s glorious
a painting by mark rothko on display at the museum of modern art in new york city. the name of the painting is no. 37/no.19 (slate blue and brown on plum) and was painted in 1958. it’s a large canvas with the background painted a deep plummy purple, an almost-square of teal-ish blue, and what looks to my eye like a black rectangle (but based on the title is probably a brown) underneath the blue rectangle.
a screenshot of a instagram post originally from @choiwonder that alex sherman retweeted. the photo is of alex, alyssa, and a third person (presumably the one who posted the pic) that has an arrow pointing to alyssa’s stomach and some text that says “there’s a bay bay in there!”

the video clip is the "you wear fine things well" scene from our flag means death. the original background music was edited out and annie's song by john denver has been added in its place.
a still image from our flag means death s1e10 when stede is standing on the beach next to a dinghy, about to drag it into the sea to go find ed teach so he can declare his love and smooch his brains out. and apologize for the whole running away thing, of course. superimposed text at the bottom reads, “[gay hope]”. i’ll say!
a close crop of the photo in the quoted post of taika waititi. the image is of his hand—his index finger is outstretched in a very “come hither” type of gesture. 👀 ahem. there is a gold bad on his ring finger but the ring in question is on his index finger. imagine a venn diagram and where the two circles overlap on the middle there’s a small colored gemstone that appears to be a share of green or blue.
a still from the tv show fleabag. fleabag and the hot priest are walking down the street and the camera is following behind them. fleabag is turning back to the camera and saying “his beautiful neck” which appears in subtitles at the bottom of the frame.
a screenshot of my bluesky following feed. at the top is a post from miles hat says “stealing hudson williams’ gender what the fuckkkkk” and then a quote repost from freddie of connor storrie winking at the camera at the golden globes. freddie’s post says “what gender is this and where can i get some.”
a close crop from the quoted picture of taika waititi playing jenga. you can’t tell that from this picture, though. all you see is taika’s hand, palm-up with pointer finger extended and poking at (or into? 😏) something just barely out of frame, with the rest of his fingers curled inward towards his palm. you might even say that his middle finger looks like it could be mid-“come hither” motion. 👀🫦👀
a photo of a person’s hand showing off their nails painted with a multichrome nail polish that shifts from pink to purple to blue. the person has short nails and is wearing three chunky silver rings (a dark stone, a cross, and a goat’s head) and you can see a bit of their blurry, bearded face in the background.

a behind the scenes photo from our flag means death season two, in which samba is dressed as roach and is holding a three-tiered cake and has a giant smile on his face while looking directly at the camera
a photograph of a fern, backlit by the sun
a screenshot of a text message that says, “Give me a call when you’re up…”
an image of stede from ofmd from the first beach kiss scene. the image is edited to make his cheeks bright pink as he looks at ed and the subtitles at the bottom of the frame say “[blushing like a whore]”
an image of the same six watercolor brushes but a close-up of the tips after getting them wet, which helps to show how fine the points get when loaded with paint.
an image of six watercolor brushes with quite small brush tip sizes, starting with teeny tiny on the left and getting bigger a you move to the right. the printed details on the side of each brush handle are turned to be visible in the image. (if you use a screen reader and want any brush info details please let me know and i'd be happy to tell you--i didn't have the time to type them all out!)
a watercolor painting of a frame from s2e8 or our flag means death of ed and stede kissing. they are centered in the frame and stand in front of a blurry background of greenery (probably some insane foliage) and a light grey-blue sky. stede is wearing his dark teal shirt and ed is wearing his signature leather jacket. ed’s left hand—with a visible spider tattoo and his ring with the large, bright green gem—is holding stede’s face, with his fingers disappearing under the golden hair beneath stede’s ear towards the nape of his neck, and his thumb gently rests on stede’s cheek. ed’s head is tilted slightly toward the viewer as they kiss (ed and stede kiss not ed the viewer but omg can you imagine? of course you can, as you probably often do, a do i. *stares into the middle distance for a few minutes thinking about nothing in particular at all* ANYWAY). his long hair cascades down his back and is blown about by the wind on the beach. stede’s face has a relaxed expression; small droplets and smears of blood are a reminder of the peril endured to get this kiss, just one more kiss. the crinkles next to ed’s closed eye give the impression that he is squeezing them shut so tightly almost as if he’s wincing from the pain of the thought that there was a chance he would never get to kiss stede like this again. A LOVE LIKE THEIRS CANT DISAPPEAR IN AN INSTANT! THEYRE JOINED TO ONE ANOTHER! INTERTWINED! THEY WROTE!! THEIR NAMES!!! ON EACH OTHER!!!! IN PERMANENT INK!!!!!!!!!! 🌈🏴‍☠️💜
a tiktok from user @b_daddy_dancer. it starts with an older gentleman—wearing a plaid collared shirt under a dark sweater, tan pants, a baseball hat, and work gloves—wheeling a wheelbarrow into frame as “africa” by toto is playing, staring mid-song with the line, “hurry boy, it’s waiting there for you.” the man abandons the wheelbarrow and runs closer to the camera, and proceeds to remove the baseball hat revealing LONG silver hair which he flips forward for an impeccable bend-and-snap, removes his glasses and places them on his head, and absolutely bust several moves that include at least one high-kick, big arms, lots of gyrating hips and some suggestive thrusting. this is 100% exactly what it would look like if liquid gold ed teach had a tiktok account that went viral after stede caught him dancing while doing chores in the garden one time and now he makes garden dancing videos on the regular.
a photo of a person’s arm resting on a desk. they are wearing a wrist brace made of a black plastic material that is held on the arm with purple velcro.
a picture of a trash can immediately outside the doors to a grocery store. in the trash is a hastily discarded box that once held a marie calender’s ready-to-bake frozen apple pie. one can only assume that the box was ditched at the store in an attempt to hide the evidence that the pie is store bought and not homemade.
that meme from the office of pam sitting in the little 1-on-1 interview room saying “they’re the same picture” which appears in text at the bottom of the frame
a screencap of ed teach from s1e10 of our flag means death. he’s wearing the depression robe and is clasping his hands together in front of his chest.
an image of alex sherman dressed as a british officer from ofmd. it’s a bts image where he has his arms outstretched, one foot kicked behind him, and the other foot pointing down, with his jacket billowing around him, suggesting a very twirly movement. the image has been photoshopped so it’s just alex against a stark white background which emphasizes how it sort of looks like he’s floating. it’s giving big sky dancer vibes.
a close crop from the original posted image of taika in bts footage of early fitting in blackbeard’s s1 outfit. the crop is of t’s index finger touching the end of the hilt of the dagger he wears at his hip. it is quite suggestive if you ask me.
a screencap from the show fleabag. fleabag and the hot priest are walking down the street. the hot priest’s back is to the camera and fleabag is turning back to face the camera and is saying “his beautiful neck,” which also appears in yellow text in subtitles at the bottom of the frame.
a screenshot from the aforementioned tiktok slideshows of hozier fans’ top ten favorite songs. this one is someone’s number ten, jackie and wilson. it’s an image of the album cover and song title from spotify with superimposed text from the original tiktok poster that says: 10: Jackie and Wilson -It's so full of soul and love -It shows how deep someone can love another -Celebrates the happiness and excitement and love.. -I will be using Jackie or Wilson as one of my kids names
a photo of a poster that includes text that reads “fleetwood 2,” two photos of a house, and a picture of stevie nicks from the peak fleetwood mac days. the full text on the poster reads: FLEETWOOD 2 Stevie Nicks is a music legend that has strong Phoenix connections. She is the only women to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame two separate times! Once for her contributions to the group Fleetwood Mac and the other as a solo artist. Stevie Nicks was born in Phoenix, but her family moved around a great deal before her parents eventually settled in Paradise Valley in 1972. Nicks returned to Arizona in 1981 and built a home in Paradise Valley, the same year she released "Bella Donna," her quadruple-platinum solo debut. By that point, she had already been the voice of the number one smash single "Dreams" with the group Fleetwood Mac. Stevie's mother, Barbara Nicks, opened a gift shop in Scottsdale in the 70's selling dolls, antiques and mementos that her famous daughter donated. The gift shop was called Silver Springs Emporium after the Fleetwood Mac song "Silver Springs". The gift shop relocated to Payson and was operational for 11 years before it was brought back to Scottsdale in 2010 occupying a 3-bedroom house across from the iconic Valley Ho hotel, In 2021, the Fleetwood project purchased the land that housed the Silver Springs gift shop owned by Barbara Nicks. It was named Fleetwood because of its ties to the great Stevie Nicks. Six multi-level townhouses were constructed in 2021 and finished in 2022. Fleetwood 2 is the townhome that you are looking at right now. It is a rock-themed 4-story home that pays tribute to the great Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac and all of the great musical legends of the 70's.
a screenshot of my photo gallery completely full of pics and videos from seeing hozier in concert yesterday
a photo i took of hozier at talking stick amphitheater in phoenix, arizona. this picture is from the first song, de selby (part 1). hozier stands in front of a projection of the night sky with innumerable stars and underneath a spot light comprised of many tiny beams of light. you can see his silhouette as he plays a guitar and sings into a mic. it’s nothing short of ethereal.
a photo of an archaeopteris plant fossil from the devonian era, which was between 419.2 million and 358.9 years ago. the image is of a dark fossil of a fern-like plant on a light colored piece of stone with a black background. from a website describing the fossil itself: This is a frond on Archaeopteris, a tree-like plant with leaves like a fern. First named from a woody trunk named Callixylon over a hundred years ago based on material from Russia, it was thought to possibly be similar to fern-like leaves that were found nearby known as Archaeopteris. It took some 60 years to demonstrate that both were indeed from the same plant, and that plant bears characteristics found in no extant type. It was established as a taxon that was transitional between the true gymnosperms and the ferns. The reverse shows a number of additional plant fragments. [oddly enough i, too, am partially based on ancestral generic material from russia.]
a still from our flag means death of the interior of the captain’s quarters on the queen anne.
a small paper sign held in a little silver holder. the sign is a photo of a wheel of brie cheese in one of those little round boxes and the label on the box has a picture of lionel ritchie and says “hello, is it BRIE you’re looking for”
a color swatch of a teal color, reminiscent of stede’s suit from s1 of our flag means death
a close crop of the posted artwork; the frame is zoomed in on ed’s hand clutching the bed sheets, index finger extended like god giving adam life on the sistine chapel ceiling because this art is giving me life in exactly the same way
a screenshot from the app “rain rain” where you can layer different white noise and various sounds like different kinds of rain, thunderstorms, etc. the screenshot shows the category header titled “only fans” and the different fan sounds available (at the paid, premium level as indicated by a “P” icon): central air, oscillating fan, box fan low, box fan medium, box fan high, and ceiling fan.
an image of doctor bunsen honeydew and his assistant beaker from the muppets
a small card with the following description of the necklace: “Self Assurance The lion is a symbol of courage, while the bulrushes and dove with laurel signify peace. This talisman symbolizes the personal strength and acceptance required to have faith in one's own character. pyrrha”
