A group of young grey birds stands on top of a rickety farm structure. Underneath is a water feeder and a ramp to the (less rickety) barn. There’s a fallen wood fence panel closer to the photographer, a metal gate behind the birds, and the picture is taken through the frame of a wooden door.
A sheep is standing on her hind legs reaching towards the oak leaves on a branch that a kid is pulling down. Her fore hooves are on the back of another grazing sheep. There are a few other sheep grazing in the area.
A grayish white sheep with a black face walks towards the camera surrounded by grass nearly as tall as she is.
A fluffy cat with a white chest and grey and yellow fur sits and stares at the camera. She’s standing in a barn on a deep step covered in yellowish gray hay

Screenshot of a text - I’m getting some of marx’s writings to listen to, and since google doesnt want to show me an easy pdf download for them I’ve just been manually selecting and copying the entirety of whats on a specific page of a website called the “marxist internet archive” But “a contribution to the critique of political economy” has ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX PAGES (im grabbing things based on the comments of a reddit post asking the same question I asked google which was “which works of marx do I read first”) Im going to be sitting here selecting text on my phone for an hour at this rate
A kid in a grey hoodie has their back to the camera. In front of them is a scrawny and recently-shorn tall brown sheep. She’s in a brown patch near green grass. There’s an electric fence Corning the foreground - she’s on the wrong side.
Screenshot from “Another Day Closer to the End” that the release of “Thriller” (Dec 2, 1983) is closer to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima (Aug 6, 1945) than today.
Screenshot of a text exchange with my teenager. Two adorable pictures of a black cat with cross crossed paws and text “HE HAS HIS PAWS CRISS CROSSED IM DYING HES SO CUTE (this is partially a cry for help so you remember to come disentangle me from the cat so I can do laundry if my self control fails)”
An image of The Hobbit p13 - “when Thorin struck it the music began all at once, so sudden and sweet that Bilbo forgot everything else and was swept away into dark lands under strange moons, far over The Water and very far from his hobbit-hole under The Hill. The dark came into the room from the little window that opened in the side of The Hill; the firelight flickered - it was April - and still they played on, while the shadow of Gandalf’s beard wagged against the wall. The dark filled all the room … “ and the text continues to the dwarves singing.
The boxed set of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. You know the one, with a very stout Bilbo, Gimli and Legolas on “The Two Towers” real sexy just like you said, and Aragorn with a big winged crown that inspired my grade school Halloween costume.

A white guy in his early 40’s (me) wearing a green fleece and jeans sits on a rock in a sunny field of mostly-brown grass. He’s petting a sheep with white fleece and a black face while a couple other sheep backs are visible behind them. Green tree branches are interlaced above them, and a bright blue sky can be seen.
A selfies with a group of four or five white and brown sheep. A white guy in a green fleece is petting the cheeks of one very floofy sheep. The colors of trees in the fall in Maine can be seen in the background.
A sunny day. Grey-white clouds in a bright blue sky. Below that, a blur of green trees behind the light brownish-green field. A flock of sheep is spread out, grazing. Closer up, in the shadow, taller grasses and brush grow.
“To put it as plainly as I can: intellectual debates that are more concerned with the absolute supremacy of one historical form of shattering cruelty over another risk perpetuating a lie that we cannot work together against the ways those cruelties persist now, right now, in the immediate present. The assertion that the United States has been shaped first and foremost by anti-Blackness and chattel slavery or by anti-Indigeneity and settler colonialism, but never both, is only one heuristic for thinking about history and the future“
