Bernadette Peters as Dot and Mandy Patinkin as George in a promotional still from Sunday in the Park With George (1984). He looks poignantly into the distance whilst he rests her head on his, looking into the foreground with pursed lips and a wistful, melancholic air.
Musk On the bus. The man in front of me Smells of musk. Sticky-sweet smell in my nose And I remember it on the back of my hand Rubbing into my hair, guided by my father And we would go down the hill, past the park, Up and down and up and down All the way to the mosque. And in later years It was my tokayah’s smell, Sticky-sweet smell and sticky-sweet, sticky-sad smile Tired in the dark flat narrow alleyways of Woking On the way to the mosque as the birds were singing Before he died. And the trains would go by And he would call the aqama And we would pray, and I promised I would go Back there and back there every time I visited And I haven’t. Now there’s a woman Who has cancer. “Oh no!” say the two girls sitting beside her. “Oh yes!” she says, and smiles and tells them To take each day as they come, To seize the day, to let nobody get them down She worked with homeless people; she asks The girls what they want to be. One doesn’t know One wants to be an actor I envy their easy smiles
A black and white drawing. Jenny Everywhere, gripping the hem of her t-shirt and looking somewhat angry, stands opposite a woman far taller than her, with a regal bearing and elegant stance. The woman looks down at her, with a hand underneath Jenny's chin to force her to look up.

Miriam Margolyes, fingers arched, looking somewhat mischievous and wearing a green scarf.
Two identical posts one after the other on my dash from two different users, both a reaction of a meme with a man saying "I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards" in response to the same news article saying "JUST IN: Tesla Cyberstuck explodes at the entrace to Trump Internation Hotel in Las Vegas", with accompanying video of said explosion, which is quite dramatic-looking, I must say.
A typed letter in a cursive font reading: "1 December 2024 Mark Howling League Against the Defamation of Puppies, 123 Barking Dog Street, Chiswick, Dogland, Registered Universe 62838291872 (Magwyr Designation) From: Steven Moffat, 13 Dalek Road, Westminster, City and County of Shrewdland, Ununited Kingdom Registed Universe 93828299281 (Magwyr Designation) My dear Mark, I am sorry to hear you are so unwell. I hope you and the kids get better soon, and also that you are able to watch my new episode of Doctor Who, Joy to the World, which will be airing at Christmas on BBC1 and iPlayer. Don’t miss it. Seriously. I would really hate for anything to happen to you. Anything worse than already has, that is. I mean, it’s pretty rotten luck to get influenza, mumps, measles, whooping cough, coronavirus, bat flu, horse flu, chicken flu, koala flu, lesser-spotted Armenian horsely flu, mudskipper flu, right whale flu, zygon flu, Froxbanian flu, table flu, and rabbit flu all at once, but there are worse things that could happen, you know. And I’m sure you wouldn’t want to find out what they are, would you? So just you make sure to tune into BBC1 on December 25th, 2024, wouldn’t you? It’s my big moment, I should hate for you to miss it. Anyhow, do send my love to your husband, I am hearing good things about him. Is it true he won the Annual International Barking Contest back in August? Really incredible stuff. Do send him my love. But not in a romantic way, I’m straight. Very definitely straight. I couldn’t be straighter. Straight as a pencil, I am. There’s nothing going on between Russell and I. Don’t believe anyone who says otherwise. It’s all lies! Russell and I aren’t going out, haha. He isn’t even my type! I am not gay. Not gay at all."
