What is a writer? A miserable little pile of words! Fiction attempted, with various levels of success. Yes, I do need help, thank you for noticing. https://amiserablepileofwords.dreamwidth.org/

Bryan Cranston "Who, me?" meme gif
Chonky (larger than the operator's hand) data cable(?) connector featuring like 20x8(?) pins that was used between accumulators(?) or function tables(?) from the following ENIAC video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4oGI_dNaPc (unfortunately, the video isn't very elucidating It slides down into two guiding rails hanging diagonally out of the slot on what is labeled as Function Table No 3 Panel 1 (11 groups of 3 clicky rotating switches with between 4 to 9 options each), and is *rammed* in with both hands so that the latch at the top of the slot catches and holds the connector in place.
Frame from The Matrix (1999) from the moment where the character Mouse stumbles into the ship's mess, all excited to share the news that "Morpheus is fighting Neo!"
The first 4 panel image of the 8 panel comic titled "Nuns" by @emilyscartoons.bsky.social in the quoted post. In each panel, 2 nuns are facing each other and talking, sometimes using archaic language. Panel 1: the nun one the right asks "How are the Young Novices, Sister". The other replies "The Young Novices saye they are 'Queering Sisterhood', Sister". Panel 2: the nun on the right exclaims "They're WHAT?? What is the meaning of this???" Panel 3: the nun on the left explains "It means they are Shaving their Heads and adopting New Names". The nun on the right responds "That's fine". Panel 4: the nun on the left continues her explanation with "They are Cultivating Indoor Plants and dedicating themselves to Textiles and Craft Projects". The nun on the right again responds with "That's fine".
Close-up of the back of a receipt, on which someone has written the words "Too many red flags. Run. Be safe girl.", allegedly passed to a woman by another patron near her table while her date went to the bathroom.
Congrats Happy For You meme image. It consists of a collage of 3 pictures of a young Black kid (wearing pink pants and a muted pastels chequered shirt) from a photoshoot. The kid looks less than happy to be there in all three of them. The largest on the left is of the kid standing with hands in pockets next to a planter with tall grass of some kind. The right side is split vertically in two. The top image is a close-up of the kid staring straight into the camera, and the bottom image is of the same kid sitting on the ground next to the planter. The three images are respectively captioned "Congrats", "Happy for you", and "Nice"
(Screenshot of the introduction of the linked story, "Waiting for Gadot". My kingdom for a proper dreamwidth embed.) "Do you think she'll come?" "Who?" "You know. Her." "Oh, right. The cape. How should I know. Maybe?" "We're doing crimes in her city, aren't we?" "Yeah, but it's a big city, and she's only one woman. She can't be everywhere all at once." "Isn't she like, a goddess or something?" "You're asking me? You know I don't care about that shit. Have you been on the capethirsters forums again? 'Step on me, god-mommy! Strangle me with your lasso!'?"
A bad MSPaint hackjob pastiche of the classic "I have a suggestion." meme tumblr post by user "isuggestforcefem". The name is now "ladyofbeatings", and I've replaced the avatar with the face of Scarlet El Vandimion, the protagonist of the anime "May I Ask for One Final Thing?" ("Saigo ni Hitotsu dake Onegai Shitemo Yoroshī Deshō ka"), taken from the moment in the first episode where she just got done beating a whole ballroom full of evil nobles to a pulp. There are stray flecks of blood on her face, framing a relaxed smile after she finally got to let out years of pent-up stress and rage. Oh, and because of a job well done, I guess. "Lady of Beatings" is one of the names other people have given her, along with "Bloodstained Lady", and "Mad Dog Noblewoman".
Cropped frame from the season 3 Columbo episode "Publish or Perish". Peter Falk as Columbo is sitting at a typewriter, turned to face someone behind the camera, pointing at his temple. The subtitle reads "I got it all up here, I can't put it down here."
A screenshot from an event from the game "Fallen London" that reads: The Tournament of Lilies The latest obsession of neo-botanical society! Next to the text is a drawing of a leafy, red-thorned stem topped by a green flower that looks like a creature's head with fangs, ears and horns, facing the viewer - Explaining the stupid pun(s): Yuri is the Japanese name for the lily flower genus. It's *also* the name for Japanese media focused on deep relationships between women (sexual or otherwise). The rest is a (bad) riff on a WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) promo trailer, transposed to the fictional WLW (Women Loving Women) association and moved to a different day of the week
Scene from the Columbo (1968-2003) Season 3 Episode "Publish or Perish", where Columbo is sitting at a typewriter, looking back at someone in the foreground of the frame, one hand raised, and says "This writing is not as easy as it looks."
