probably not a cryptid? nyc born and raised; you have now been warned

an iconic panel from junji ito's tomie, where she is glancing offscreen smiling calmly but a monstrous face (like hers but scarred and warped horrifically) is emerging from the side/back of her head with its eyes wide and teeth bared
the will ferrell meme where the top image is a city engulfed in flames labeled "HUMAN SOCIETY" and the bottom is him with hands cupped around his mouth shouting, captioned "ME: CAN YOU HELP ME SAVE A DOG?"
a photo of a storage container full of diced skin-on apples soaking in chicken bone broth, beside a 9-pop pupsicle mold and squeeze pack of buddy butter (dog-safe peanut butter) -- 6 of the molds are full already but the 3 on the right only have a dollop of peanut butter at the bottom, waiting for apple and broth
the "I voted 2026" sticker I received today, which is square with a center stripe that has the "vote nyc" logo next to "125 years serving voters"
a text i was sent by the "united communities and institutions of boro park" talking about the serious challenge goldman is facing from [lander], who they avoid mentioning by name and is notably also jewish "Good morning! Early voting is underway in Boro Park, and we cannot afford to stay home. Congressman Dan Goldman is facing a serious challenge from a candidate backed by Mayor Mamdani that supports penalizing our yeshivos and opposes key protections for Eretz Yisrael. Dan has stood with our community when it mattered most, fighting to restore childcare subsidies, helping families return from Eretz Yisrael during times of crisis, and always answering the call when our community needed him. He is proudly endorsed by Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein, District Leader Pinny Ringel, and mosdos and askins across Boro Park. Every vote matters. [...] Don't wait. Vote today. The future of our community depends on it."
a screencap of the "rude" setting in bsky's advanced security options..... i have absolutely set it to off before, because i am a big girl who can handle seeing "rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments" on the internet, but it was set to hide again.

a screenshot of something horrible and sludgy looking in a quart container; cloudy yellowy-brown liquid with dark bits at the bottom... i am steeping earl grey tea in butter for flavored shortbread
sweet pennylou, a large mixed breed dog with caramel coat and white nose/neck/chest and pawsocks, sits on a purple check pawprint blanket with her feet folded adorably and a squeaky plush duck toy tucked against her chest. this is her ducky now, thanks!
the video is from my perspective. pennylou is walking loose leash slightly ahead on my right, and when she turned the corner i realized that she was taking me home and am narrating that she seems to know where home is. let's see if she turns at the right house... and yes, she goes up my red brick steps to the stoop, where a chewy box of items for her had been delivered. i am crying. shut up.
pennylou is much cleaner, the crusties gone from her nose and legs, and is offering a paw politely. she is wearing a white bandana and a new pink harness.
pennylou is a tan dog with white markings (muzzle, neck/chest, pawsocks) who is utterly emaciated, her nose and ears crusty from infections, and she is the best girl. she's sitting adorably at attention with her tongue in a tiny excited blep, ears perked and expression pleading. nanny had a treat; pennylou has perfect puppy eyes.
a blown up section of trump's AI slop of him as a healer; it's the man with a white beard wearing an olive green cap with gold embroidery -- presumably meant to resemble a veteran in the prompt. because it's slop, the hat is illegible but my best guess/strongest visual impression of the letters (if it's the english alphabet only) is P E B U R? I O. okay, go!
i was just trying to check facebook notifications and got this new alert: "your camera app just got smarter. the new meta ai app understands and interprets your photos." NO. WHY. BAD. GLAD I DON'T USE META MORE THAN IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
a screenshot of the character count in the bottom right corner of the bluesky new post interface... it's in the red by -3527 and i have added a gigantic cringing emoji.
a little smiling cartoon bomb with a lit fuse, hanging from the text "hang in there" by one hand and giving a thumbs up with the other -- below him, under the thumbs up, is "it gets worse"
a photo taken in nyc on june 7, 2023 of a diablo IV billboard in times square that says "welcome to hell, new york" beside a pretty demon lady -- the ACTUAL sky above times square is a deep, dense orange from wildfire smoke. (the diablo IV billboard says it released on 6/6, so our descent into canadian fire smoke hell was prophesied, in a way...)
a clip of still hot homemade caramel being poured into the center depression of a crackle-topped dark chocolate cookie they are soft and chewy and delicious and i'm very sad nobody wanted them 8( at least i can always feed friends
my shitty procreate doodle of a sinister-looking man in the shadows of the moon surface. i then switched to red pencil and drew a devil horns and tail.
the ups laboratory pak, all filled and packed up and ready to go BUT I STILL DON'T HAVE A PICKUP CONFIRMATION AND THERE'S NOT A STORE FOR MILES AROUND this has to be ON A PLANE TONIGHT let's gooooooooooooooo
a product called "easy feet" that's basically a plastic blue slipper full of scrubby bristles with suction cups on the bottom to grip to the tub/shower floor and a pumice stone at the heel. it's got the "as seen on tv" logo and brags "no more bending to clean your feet!" "cleans, exfoliates & massages!" it is new in box, and my grandmother never got one for herself so i have no idea why she thought mom would want one, yet it came from somewhere!
seriously look at these decorations! lots more baked goods, set up with love
my setup is not as cute as most others you can tell i have never tabled rip

two (of many) handmade, light green lanyards with keyrings on them for a whistle. they're seamless so it the ring can float and won't get stuck in yarn when we put something on it.
a half-finished cowl in beautiful blue wool, wrapped around my arm to show off the lacework detail. it's not blocked yet, obvs.
a screencap of the "labels" menu when uploading media on bsky -- you can add a content warning and beneath 'other' i have checked "graphic media" which will blur and mute the video so no one sees it without approving. (and users who find this annoying can turn moderation off in their own settings. it's very customizable!)
a grey-brown-white tabby boy looking up at me through the top grate of a cat carrier; this is the lil buddy who rode shotgun on last week's aspca transport, for cuteness! such a sweet curious baby. he's now neutered and back with his foster, but there are soooooo many more who need help too. (not just the other 3 in my backseat!)
a screencap of the popup on gmail showcasing gemini's "help me write" feature, a pencil with a sparkle above it. google declares "draft emails confidently with gemini -- gemini can help you write your drafts in seconds and quickly refine them" NO. VETO. FUCK OFF.

Hegseth said his vision for military AI systems means that they operate “without ideological constraints that limit lawful military applications,” before adding that the Pentagon’s “AI will not be woke.”
People in many other developed democracies — Japan, Israel, Sweden, South Korea — had warm views of social media in a 2022 survey; now respondents in those countries feel more optimistic about A.I. Americans, on the other hand, approach the A.I. revolution skeptically, Persily said. We’re more concerned about this technology than just about anyone else. (me like WHAT WAS THE SURVEY EXACTLY because the push, usage, and impacts of this technology surely varies greatly between these countries, and moreso by INDUSTRY. everything negative discussed was about consumer facing generative AI. idk how prevalent that is elsewhere!)
an absolutely adorable little black mixed breed dog with grey chin in a fuzzy collared red and white holiday sweater, against a festive red/black/white pawprint and hearts backdrop. he's sitting behind a squeaky dog toy that says "my first christmas" and looking up at the camera with big shining eyes. his ears flop slightly at the tips.
mint double chocolate cookies: chopped andes mints in a dark chocolate cookie base, topped with white and red "candy cane" hershey's kisses. some have it pressed in blossom style, others are sprinkled with the chopped pieces.
a homemade caramelized onion, bacon & spinach quiche w/ thyme and gruyère in a glass pie plate, resting on a cooling rack on a kitchen counter. it's in hand fluted crust and there's a small bowl of mushrooms sautéed with the extra bacon and some of the caramelized onions next to it. and yes it's absolutely delicious, about two hours later i did have a slice.
three eye daisies! they all have a glow in the dark neon blue iris against a black center and golden outline, then different colored flower petals: one is red, one is orange, one is a burnt reddish-orange.
flancocho with the remaining caramel at the bottom of the pan reheated and drizzled into candy threads over the top.
final set, crocheted circles in burgundy wool with scalloped edges. there are 2 large placemats (10 rounds) & 4 coasters (4 rounds) backed with grey nonslip dotted fabric, and 1 floral lace sampler in the same yarn.
added nonslip backing to the coasters and mat, plus made a little... basket? pot? vase??? to hold another four (smaller) coasters and 3d flower topper. the new 'flowerpot' set is in grey-to-maroon variegated yarn.
after culling the coasters with visible errors and making a gigantic placemat version of the same round scalloped pattern, my burgundy crochet table set is two 5-round coasters and a 12-round mat.
three crocheted burgundy coasters with scalloped edges. the leftmost one has a standard mug set centered on it for scale; there is about an inch all around to spare.
a screencap of an email from the creative team of The End Times, a fictional post-apocalyptic newspaper project i subscribed to earlier this year. the relevant bits of text here are that issue one shipped out on november 14th and apparently the mail is being EXTREMELY inconsistent. some people got their papers on 11/19, some today, and some (me, i am in this last group, bc of course i am) are still waiting. and there's nothing they can do about it.

six pumpkin chai cupcakes, three piped with a plain swirl of cinnamon cream cheese frosting and three with candied pumpkin seed brittle crumbled on top, on my kitchen counter.
pepper is lying at OP's side in bed in the morning, head on her chest and butt snuggled against his foster sister lying next to them, looking up at the phone camera.
a screenshot of the message that popped up on my inbox after i turned off smart features entirely because i'd disabled categories and autocorrections and suggestions and all google's other "smart" shit anyway, and had already opted out of gemini on my google acct entirely BUT THEY TURNED IT BACK ON IN GMAIL. it reads: "turn on smart features and personalization in gmail, chat, and meet to use inbox categories" with the options "turn on" and "dismiss"
a collage of photos of a tiny (8lb) chihuahua with white and brown spotted fur, one hazel eye, and a big smile. he's pictured out on walks, lying on his back pawing his face sleepily, cuddled up against another dog napping, and lying on his foster's chest. there's also a cutout of his adorable tiny pawsies; he has pink and black spotted pads.
a screenshot of a video youtube recommended to me by "HealthyGamerGG" titled "why adhd brains don't have space for relationships" the thumbnail is the creator in front of a microphone, with a cartoon brain on a screen behind him. it's divided into two sections, one small red section labeled LOVE with the rest of the brain in pink labeled EVERYTHING ELSE. in my experience this is extremely inaccurate. i even hyperfixate on non-romantic relationships.
three small bowls of cream cheese icing being mixed to match the colors of a "zohran for new york city" mailer, with a tray of cupcakes in the background that have been frosted with the white as a base
five forks on a marble counter, all slightly different in length, width, and shape. they are numbered 1-5 and the image asks "neurodivergents, which is the best fork" (i've corrected the creator's grammar errors for this alt text)
a screencap of a promo email from adagio teas offering me a "royal birthday gift" large white text declaring "treat yourself" is centered above an image of a woman's photograph beside a tea tin featuring a (different) photoshopped image of her face on a queen standing in an atrium surrounded by sunflowers. there's a glow behind her crown and she's holding a goblet with flames coming out of it and standing beside a bowl that's also got flames coming out of it. everything is very gold, including the ribbon banner below her that says "Happy Birthday" the copy is as follows: Your birthday is just two weeks away - and we can't wait to celebrate you like the royalty you are! 👑 We've prepared something special just for you: - A free sample tea tin, custom-printed with your photo as a crowned, cloaked monarch - A custom tea blend to match your royal persona - A fun birthday memento you can sip and enjoy
