beige on light beige image of concentric geometric stars overlaid with the bell tower at independence hall and the declaration of independence. Overlaid on that in blue block letters are the words, "I LOVE MY COUNTRY" followed by the red script letters of "Philadelphia" and the Phillies "P" logo. (go phils and go birds)
Cymbop en repos on an orange chair, but her ears are alert!
fluffy cloud boi at the art auction
Dripping wet chocolate lab backdropped by a blue sky with a single cloud. Dog is panting and happy and probably just had a good catch.
Phillies closed captioning: TMac saying, "Maybe you can sell some of that crypto Jhonathan Díaz (John)..." while the Phanatic rains down chaos betwixt them.

Beautiful photo of Dick Allen on the field with a clear blue sky behind him.

text from Dad: Google Steve Jeltz, Bobby Wine, and Irish Mike Ryan...🤕
Raye with Amma and Absolutely and her vocalists and strings and brass sections performing "Joy" in Atlanta. Musicians are in tuxes, Amma is in a cute black lace corset and pants, while Absolutely has a orange and burgundy halterneck dress and Raye is in a strapless black lacy evening gown with a slit that reveals her whole left leg. she's barefoot, naturally. her left arm is outstretched and everybody is singing or playing their hearts out.

"They don't know..." meme with Alec Bohm in the corner saying "They don't know I got an ass like a female" and the other people thinking "I'm leaving my gf for that wagon" and "That caked up blond boy got me confused"

Screenshot of my timeline with about a dozen excited March Madness-related posts in a row.
Bag of Venezuelan food and a can of Frescolita.
Chart that shows the secret third thing. It's a grid that uses flag emojis to show who advances based on scores from 1-0 to 11-10 and I've highlighted a limited scenario where Mexico beats Italy in a low-scoring game (scores ranging from 1-0, to 4-3) which allows both these teams to advance.

A saved instagram story with a picture of Phillies manager Rob Thomson in a red long-sleeve shirt and hat overlaid with his quote "I don't really think about my mental health" on it. My added caption is: He doesn't think about my mental health either. I'll tell you that much.
Blurry screengrab of Delta's scrolling story showing our slightly cut-off responses side-by-side from last spring. I didn't take a better one because I just wanted to send it to Augusto. There are other responses asking for Electronic songs or for her to tour the person's country and then me and Augusto asking her to consider Eurovision. I may have specified a classic Delta ballad, IDK! It's cut off! I never thought I'd need it again, but I also don't delete from my phone! There's a text overlay from Team Delta that says "MY BRAIN" cry/laugh emoji "Locked in" blonde lady with hand in the air emoji

My caption of "Innocent! Get this man a @presidenteusa sponsorship!" over Nick Castellanos' handwritten Miami Incident letter (illegible at this size).
tall, ice-covered trees against a gray morning sky.
Blue background. Header reads: "Jon Ossoff, US Senator for Georgia," followed by an image of the shameful Georgia "Stars and Bars" flag. The headline says: "Sen. Ossoff on FBI raid of Fulton County Elections Office" and the body of the meassage is: “After losing Georgia in 2020, Donald Trump demanded state officials ‘find’ votes to change the outcome, tried to use DOJ to overturn it, and spread conspiracy theories that led to the Jan. 6 sacking of the U.S. Capitol. “I suspect today’s raid is a continuation of this sore loser’s crusade, despite repeated audits and independent reviews confirming that Donald Trump was indeed defeated. “From Minnesota to Georgia, on display to the whole world is a President spiraling out of control, wielding federal law enforcement as an unaccountable instrument of personal power and revenge.”

Cymbop sticking her tongue out and resting her chin on my blanket covered leg this afternoon. Her brindle fur is graying around her face.
Nick Castellanos celebrating a walkoff and being hugged and splashed with water. He is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

Photo of a page from a book, inexpertly cropped with the shadow of a cell phone cast over the page. Nevertheless, tge focus is on a paragraph from Jeff Tweedy's memoir, World Within a Song: "There are some songs so perfect it's impossible to imagine them ever not existing. Melodies so seamless that it makes no sense to contemplate how they were constructed. Miniature suns and moons. Here long before us, and sure to survive long after we're gone. Music that arrives not as something new but as something that finally has a name. This song feels like it's been a part of me for as long as I've had a me to feel."
Screenshot of a google AI search with a thumbnail of Big Shot that reads: Big Shot was a mascot for the Philadelphia 76ers from 1982 to 1996. The blue, sunglasses-wearing monster was designed by the same company as the Phillie Phanatic and was intended as the 76ers' answer to thay popular mascot.He is no longer active but remains a popular figure in fan memory with some fans even advocating for his return alongside the team's current mascot, Gritty. Active years: 1982-1996 Team: Philadelphia 76ers Appearance: A blue monster with sunglasses

Harrison Bader's instsgram pfp. it's a swirl of bright colors (orange, pink, purple, blue) with an illustrated bust that looks like...IDK. A skeleton with light blue flames for hair, yellow glasses and a distressed demin jacket on.

Shirley Manson on Garbage on-stage, bathed in blue light, arms open wide, staring down the crowd, Butch and Steve also in view. Shirley's in all-black with pants and a kilt and a sleeveless top, her now-platinum hair slicked back in a ponytail. She's a total badass.
