A bass guitar and some effect pedals
A very cut golden retriever puppy being all cute on a mat
A white/gray cat chilling on top of a bar stool. It's a rescue. His right eye was wounded in its youth.
Like it, says, some Gloom cards
A good boy golden retriever with half a tree in its mouth.
A rhubarb pie just out of the oven
Issue #1 of the excellent "Alias" comicbook from Marvel, on Neon Ichiban. It is tagged as "Downloadable". Recent releases also are tagged as Downloadable, so it's not just old titles like this.
Cover of the boxed set, with the iconic Free Trader Beowulf mayday message.
Bobby Farrell, of Boney M, dancing on stage while disguised as what can only be best described as "black disco Rasputin". By the way, in case you didn't know, Farrell never contributed any vocals to Boney M's recordings, and never actually sang on stage. He was just a dancer.
A picture of my "nerdy RPGs" shelves, with mostly GURPS book, plus a few Harnworld books in the lower-right. The GURPS collection includes a fairly complete set of 4e books, a quite lengthy collection of 3e/2e books (including a few obscure ones), a partial GURPS Traveller collection, and a complete GURPS Transhuman Space collection.
A funny T-shirt by Sam Logan (go read Sam & Fuzzy!) One Year at Ellsmere by Faith Erin Hicks (go read The Nameless City!) Griz Grobus, Habitat, and A Star Called The Sun by Simon Roy (go play Six Ages!) Camp Fire by Richard Fairgray (no idea what to recommend, it’s the first time I see this guy!)
The VanCAF program guide, and the Japadog food truck in the background. IYKYK
Three jars of "Jane's Honey Bees", made here in BC. I haven't tasted it yet but different labels for different fields of flowers is, at least, encouraging! In this case, it's wildflower, cranberry, and clover fields.
A cassette case with the list of songs from the soundtrack to The Crow, and a shitty drawing (by teenage-me) of the titular character.
Booklet for Pink Floyd's The Wall, with psychotically written lyrics

The good fluffy boy is walk through the water near Deep Cove, BC (photos taken a few weeks ago)
A meme with pictures of the 1920 movie "Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde". 1. "Thinking of some new TTRPG mechanics" Jekyll is thinking intensely about making his potion 2. "Writing the new TTRPG mechanics" Jekyll is now Mr Hyde and revels in his new ability to engage in sin 3. "Playtesting the new TTRPG mechanics" Hyde beats Sir George to death 4. "Throwing away the new TTRPG mechanics" Transformed back to his old self, Jekyll realizes what a fool he has been and cringes very hard
Pepe le Pew trying to smooch that poor cat.
The cover of “Silverfish” by David Lapham, a single TPB story of money, murders, and secrets.
An iPad with a painting in progress, on a picnic table by the shore of the Fraser River in BC, Canada.
A drawing of a racoon-shaman of Mallia. He's got a big stick, and a kitten's skull around his neck.
A photo of my latest rhubarb pie, obviously.
A weird alien bug escapes from its human host after she has been killed. Big "WTF" moment followed by some giggling from me
