A small barn swallow with a blue head, back and wings, a rust colored collar, and buff breast is fluffed up against the cold, sitting on the top left of a white sign that says "Reserved Parking" in green letters and the very top of a symbol for a wheelchair user is visible. The swallow's tiny tiny claws are barely visible against the white of the sign

The meme with a woman in the first panel holding a microphone looks dubious, and then in the second panel she's smiling and looks down to clown
Stella Sacco @antervel.vet skeet: It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it" from April 22, 2024
A Dune movie poster but the text has been replaced with "Maybe it will happen today" I hope you are reading this in the future, and it has happened.
Black sun or worm moth or weird round shape with gold tendrils behind gold text in the Dune font that says "Dune where's my car?"

Mt Hood in late afternoon hazy light. Some of the crests of the west face of the mountain are lit from the south west and cast deep shadows to the north. The mid ground has several hills covered with dark evergreen trees, and in the foreground are some scattered winter deciduous crowns among city buildings
A gif from the 80s he man movie where he man teela and the sorceress say "good journey"
Mt Hood seen from the west during sunrise- the mountain is mostly in shadow but you can barely make out the white slopes in the early morning light, and wispy clouds in shoals of pink peach and pale orange cross the sky above the mountain. The city of Portland is in the foreground, awakening to the penultimate day of 2025
Sarge, Hel, and Cleo from Cleopatra 2525
A baby plant, maybe a saxifraga, growin' out the top of a fence post
A movie poster for Top Dog starring Chuck Norris and a dog
A small hummingbird resting on a copper and glass hummingbird feeder.
Box art from the video game "James Pond: Underwater Agent": a cartoonist goldfish holding a pistol wearing a purple vest and bow tie. In the background, clockwise from upper left are an exploding oil rig, a mermaid, some fish with large foreheads, leaking barrels of toxic waste, and two scuba divers one of whom is holding a knife.
A screenshot from the Kaiju movie mothra that has a man wearing a suit and tie in an office with the subtitle "It may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we could ask Mothra to help."

Some ICE piece of trash pointing a weapon out of the passenger side of his best friend's ride in Chicago
A full, pale yellow moon rising in the east. An evergreen tree is below and to the right of the moon- the top of the tree is tangent to the right of the moon, and some of the branches reach out and caress the face of the moon
An elk with antlers standing by the side of the road.
A reddish brown dragonfly rests on a grey, weathered wooden porch railing. The thorax is furry and humped like a bison. The wings are held at a low angle, almost resting on the wood. There is a sharp shadow of the dragonfly underneath it. In the background is a green lawn with yellow flowers that are out of focus and are just round hazy blobs of color.
A screenshot of an email to publicrelations@uhaul.com Hello U-Haul! Subject line: rental agreement violations by federal agents It looks like federal agents are violating the terms of U-Haul rental agreements when conducting their raids. Hyperlink with text "Feds in moving vans raid South Shore apartment overnight; Broadview officials condemn ICE assaults • The TRiiBE" Just a couple of months ago this was behavior that had users banned from your service. Hyperlink with text "U-Haul bans white supremacist members who rented trucks for downtown demonstration" Will you be taking the same action here? If not, then I will be taking my moving business elsewhere and encourage my friends and family to do the same. Thank you, Jeremiah
A chestnut-backed chickadee poses mightily on a suet feeder in the foreground, while various mighty evergreens are out of focus in the background.
A close up of a white pillow with a quilted surface. The quilt squares are approximately 2" across. There are two small dots on the pillow, one orangish yellow, one dark red. The dots are about 1/8" across, and the red one has had color migrate out from the dot along threads in the pillow. The dots, dear reader, are humming bird droppings.
A freakish night deer with glowing eyes
A photo of clouds over Manzanita beach with choppy surf. There is a hole in the clouds revealing blue sky and a bright but of white cloud above the lower gray clouds
An adolescent deer walking from right to left, in front of a bank of assorted greenery and a utility pole
Humbug point, facing north. A sheer rock face on the left with some trees on top, the end of the bluff angles steeply down to the beach and then there are some very large rocks on the beach, the tallest of which is barely kissed by sunlight
A sunset over the Pacific ocean- a bramble in shadow in the left foreground a strip of dark purple blue ocean in the middle with a hint of reflected orange from the sky. The sun is below the horizon but rose orange pink lines the space between sky and sea
A Pacific sea nettle washed up on the beach. It's a couple feet across, and the patterning of internal organs make it look like it has weird jaws and feelers in the middle of its gelatinous blobitude
The backlit ear of a ginger cat. The tiny blood vessels that power its super hearing are visible through the thin skin.
A white-crowned sparrow standing on a wooden fence with its beak open, mid-song.
A close-up face of a terrifying Western Gull in profile, its pupil staring directly at the camera, its bright yellow beak with the distinctive red dot that reminds one of fresh blood, its entire being radiating terror and hunger
A cream colored dinner plate with two decorative sage green stripes on the circumference. Two slices of white toast with flour dusting the crust are covered with smashed avocado and haphazardly arranged sliced hard-boiled eggs. There is seasoned salt and fresh-ground pepper on there too, because I am a spicy bastard. It physically pained me to take this picture and type out this alt-text before eating it. Now I shall feast!

A bumblebee with a bald spot on a blackberry blossom.
A picture of a shell on the sand at the end of a trail of tracks made by a bunch of hermit crab feet. The shell is a whirly conical snail shell, but the tip is broken off. There is a small barnacle on the shell. The crab is hiding because I am big and scary.
There is a bee! She alights upon a bundle of blue ceanothus flowers- little bits of the flowers are sticking out with bright yellow pollen on them. The bee's covered in yellowish brown hairs and her pollen bag on her leg is full of yellowy goodness
a closeup on a honeybee with its face dug into a cluster of lavender flowers like there's nothing better in the world. To be fair, there probably isn't.
A low-angle picture taken from the side of a yellow spotted millipede walking down the street.
A PC tower in a darkened room. Through a clear side panel you can see several fans and pieces of RAM with rainbow LEDs. There is a fan on top of the case that also casts rainbow light on the wall behind the PC
An orange, yellow, and black honey bee rests on a cluster of tiny blue flowers.

A bald eagle leaps into the air from its perch on a wooden fence post next to an estuary, banks left, and soars majestically as the narrator's brain short circuits.
A Bald Eagle perches on a fence piling in front of a estuarine background, staring directly at the camera, judging me.
