Screenshot of my results. My score was 0.0014 and the commentary reads: Okay, either you're a mantis shrimp in a trenchcoat or your display has a secret wide-gamut mode nobody told me about. Suspiciously impressive.
Screenshot of text of poem “domestic violence” by Eavan Boland: 1. It was winter, lunar, wet. At dusk Pewter seedlings became moonlight orphans. Pleased to meet you meat to please you said the butcher's sign in the window in the village. Everything changed the year that we got married. And after that we moved out to the suburbs. How young we were, how ignorant, how ready to think the only history was our own. And there was a couple who quarreled into the night, Their voices high, sharp: nothing is ever entirely right in the lives of those who love each other.

Screenshot of a link to an EMBO meeting on intercellular mechanics and organelle mecha philology. The image is of a blue ball with weird raised spots, floating mitochondria, and weird metal-looking lines interspersed with gears. It’s completely nonsensical and has no intentionality to its aesthetic

Vegetables arranged on a white fence rail. There are two zucchini, a pyramid of eight cobs of shucked corn, and a porcelain punnet of golden cherry tomatoes.

A paneled illustration of the poem “the two-headed calf.” The first panel has a two headed clad lying in a field with the caption “tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap it in newspaper and carry him to the museum.” The next panel shows the same calf having his heads licked by a cow with the caption “but tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother. It is a perfect summer evening:” the next panel shows fields, trees, clouds, and a full moon and the caption “the moon rising over the orchard,”. The next panel is zoomed in on a field showing waving grass and the caption “the wind in the grass.” The next panel is a close up on one of the calf’s eyes and the caption “and as he stares into the sky,”. The final panel is the night sky with stars that are blurrily twinned and the caption “there are twice as many stars as usual.”

A broad shouldered hawk (ID not certain but best guess) sitting on a power line looking straight at the camera. Looks very silly with his angry eyes at that angle.
Screenshot of a quote reading: Stepon told us what happened in your house. There are men who are wolves inside, and want to eat up other people to fill their bellies. That it what was in your house with you, all your life. But here you are with your brothers, and you are not eaten up, and there is not a wolf inside you. You have fed each other, and you kept the wolf away. That is all we can do for each other in the world, to keep the wolf away. Naomi Novik, Spinning Silver
