A screenshot from the Richmond Parcel Map. Chimborazo Park (and the surrounding area below the hill) are highlighted, except for like a weird core that's missing in what I can only describe as the left pulmonary area which is owned by the United States of America
Fog in the distance shrouds some buildings downtown, with converted warehouse apartments in Shockoe Bottom in the foreground. The view is from the top of a hill, with crumbling concrete sidewalks and small purple flowers dotting the side of the hill. Some questionably-alive trees frame the shot.
An old dog, outside on a sidewalk, joyfully has her mouth open, tongue flopping to the side, mid-jump, so that she looks like she's standing like a velociraptor.
A graph with square nodes that are laid out in an absolutely bananas way, with a handful of the nodes way off to the left for some inexplicable reason

A screenshot of a web browser pointing to localhost:3000. It's a page with a header: "Base App", "Sign Out," and a big ol' 😎.
A heatmap and a bar graph showing when the photos in my photo library were taken. Weekends are clear favorites, with twice as many photos as weekdays. Tuesdays are slightly lower. The heatmap shows that I take photos all the waking time on weekends, but not as much during working hours on weekdays, except lunchtime.

Dots being drawn on a map of the world, mostly in the northeast of the US, with the occasional blip elsewhere.
A terminal rendering an ASCII map of the Northeast US, with city names for Richmond, Washington, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston overlaid. At the bottom, the terminal renders "center: 39.868, -73.583 zoom: 4.12 mouse: 37.6, -77.218."
Before: a short black box with a white border, and a taller black box with a white border. After: same-sized boxes, but closer to the color of the dark background, with rounded corners and a dimmer border. The text within the box is blurry, but unreadable.

A photograph out a window from a stairwell leads to a high-contrast jumble of lines and angles. Outside the window, you can see overhead rail supports, an elevated train track, and the blur of cars and a truck on an even-higher-up overpass. The interior lights from the stairwell paint contrasting lines onto the window, with the gaps between railings adding grids of light to the center of the frame, and a diagonal light cutting across the left side. Finally, the photographer is lit from behind, reflected in the window, near the top right.

The date and time is Wednesday, October 22nd, at 5:30 pm, at Triple Crossing Fulton. It's by Women Coders Coalition, and sponsored by the U of R School of Professional & Continuing Studies
A ring of mushrooms around a largish rock in the grass. The rock is partially painted grey, and is directly under a massive overpass, by an asphalt foot path. There’s a lamppost nearby; the multistory Richmond flood wall is on the right

A screenshot of a terminal, which is relatively low-contrast, which is mostly filled with "test passed" periods, and a few "test skipped" "s"es.
A screenshot of a desktop showing Obsidian, Cursor, and the macOS Terminal.app. The theme for each is very similar, showing a nearly-black, reddish background, white foreground text, and solely red highlights for e.g. syntax highlighting.

A man sits on a very deep couch, and the perspective of the couch makes him look comically small. Also you can kind of see that he's wearing PAC-MAN socks

A man in a suit stands at a standing table, takes a sip from a glass of seltzer, then proceeds to knock over a full champagne glass. He puts on his sunglasses in shame while the camerawoman laughs at him. There is loud French music.
A map of Richmond, Virginia is zoomed in on. We land in the middle of a wooded area, right by Chimborazo Park (37.52631122433861, -77.41455378382294), and the map view rotates around it, showing that there's just this big ol' hole in the ground.
A greyscale image of a woman standing in a snow-covered field. A single light on a pole casts a wide spotlight over her. A tree-lined, lit path creates a wall in the background. The woman is wearing an ornate lunar-themed dress and long gloves; one hand holds the skirt, while another is extended downward. Snow is falling, white blurs marking the foreground and background.
He talked about how he liked to sit on a bench at the park and feed the ducks. He didn’t try to get “better” at feeding the ducks. He didn’t try to feed more ducks. He wasn’t trying to optimize the nutritional quality of the bread. He wasn’t trying to get it over with. He realized that ultimately, he wasn’t even sure he experienced any benefit from it. He couldn’t explain to anyone why he went to the park and fed the ducks, least of all himself. He was feeding the ducks because he was feeding the ducks. —Jon Bois, 20020: The Future of College Football

A poster of a dog. It's a stylized, tri-tone color scheme; the top left has a dog poking out of a box and looking sassy. The bottom middle has her on a globe background, looking cute and small. On the right, she's running, with a bold outline. Her name, Lana, is covered by the picture of her running; her nicknames are also all over the poster, like "lunar lander" on the far left, with a planet icon; a list at the top right, including Luna, Lunar Lander, Loontown, Spoontown, Spoony, and Spindles. There's small text on the bottom right decreeing things like how she's from Richmond, Virginia; listing her impressive moveset (inc. sit, paw, catch); how she's very fast and anti-car; and how she's "unpredictable, unique, unstoppable.
A plastic box with a window showing that it’s filled with gold-wrapped chocolates; a twisty thing in the front right can be operated to dispense them through the hole in the front left.
A screenshot of a web browser displaying a custom homepage. The homepage is in three columns: The left narrow column: A calendar, showing today's date. A world clock, displaying the date in many cities, like San Francisco and Beijing. The center, wider column: A search bar. Three satellite images of the world. A "markets" section, showing the state of several securites, like SPY, VCSH, and IJR. They're all doing quite poorly; there's a lot of high-contrast negative numbers and squiggly lines pointing down. The final narrow column: The current weather in Richmond, Virginia: Clear Sky, feels like -3°C. The online status of a bunch of websites I run, including failbetter.com, and my personal blog.
A map of Richmond, Virginia, taken from maprva.org. There are hexagons on the map; one of the hexagons in South Richmond, right next to the river, has a tooltip over it: "JFC. I'm like 1000 feet from the gd James"
