The Kombucha Lady meme (Brittany Broski): In the left image, she's making a disgusted face. The caption reads: "Staying quiet so the deadly vampire doesn't murder you simply to shut you up." in the right image, she's reconsidering her disgust and looking thoughtful. The caption reads: "Irritating the deadly vampire via endless versions of the Gaston song"
A sparkly black shadow box with scalloped edges on top and bottom sits on some pretty green ivy. The shadow box contains a hand-stitched cloth with lyrics from one of the parody Gaston songs from ZOMROMCOM: "My, what great thighs, that Gaston!" It also contains a 3D-printed sword at a jaunty angle holding up a small pair of red, hand-macramed, fringed bikini briefs like the ones Max wore in ZOMROMCOM, and it is SPECTACULAR.

A gorgeous dark brown miniature horse with its mane parted on its side and bangs swept sassily over one eye is standing in a paddock and probably thinking emo thoughts about grass
A snippet of my current manuscript reading: "He was watching her. Those blue eyes were burning into the side of her face. Then Kip DID SOMETHING"
A European magpie perched on the black iron rail of my balcony, which are strung with amber holiday lights still, even though it's April. The bird is looking off the right and is black and white with teal blue accents. It looks satisfied that it has cowed me sufficiently.
Against a lake background is a leafless tree with gnarled, thin branches. At the top of the tree is what appears to be a random huge pile of sticks in no discernable order. And hovering approximately 6-12 inches above *that* is a single new horizontal stick that serves no discernable purpose.
A photograph of the side of a hockey rink, where hundreds of fans in the stands have unfurled an unbelievably huge blue and yellow banner with the name of the city (Södertälje) split by a compass rose in the middle. Below them, at the side of the ice, is ANOTHER enormous blue and yellow banner reading (this is the translation) "Let the compass show the way home."
A photo of the side of a hockey rink, where hundreds of fans are waving yellow and blue flags. In front of them, at the side of the ice, is an absolutely enormous banner with the phrase TOKIGA TELGE ("Unhinged City") on it in all caps and the large cartoon figure of a skater in blue and yellow with an "S" on his chest (for the name of the city) with a hockey stick. He has a cap over his eyes and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, and that cigarette appears to be bent in half, and the whole thing looks like a cartoon teleported from sometime in the 1970s? I dunno. It's all very European? Also, I think maybe it's meant to be Andy Capp?
In the graphic, a present opens, revealing Olivia Dade's author illustration and the reveal of her story's title: "A Solstice Kiss." The cover of THE TWELVE LOVES OF CHRISTMAS appears, along with the release date of September 29th.
The illustrated cover of TINY HOUSE, BIG LOVE by Olivia Dade, featuring a man and woman in a loft bed in a wood-ceiling cabin with a peaked roofline. The woman is lying on her back and holding the upper arm of a man bent over her and cradling her face. There's the top of a ladder behind them.
The graphic is split in half vertically, with the left side reading "Goodreads Giveaway, Enter for a Chance to Win!" against a white background. The right side has the illustrated cover of WORLD'S OKAYEST ORACLE (RELUCTANTLY) SEEKS DEMON against an ombre purple-to-pink background.
This is a short Christmas-themed animation with the text "Something merry is on its way!"
The illustrated cover of DESIRE AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA by Olivia Dade, featuring a sunset and rocky cliffs in the background near a sandy shoreline, with an embracing couple in the foreground. The woman is brunette and fat and pretty, with her hair swept back. She's wearing a Grecian-style dress and has her arms around the neck of a dark-haired, lean man with glasses in a dark gray suit.
The illustrated cover of Zomromcom by Olivia Dade. The Zomromcom cover shows and man and woman standing back to back with zombie hands reaching for them from all around; she's carrying a cleaver, and he's carrying a sword.
Against the black background, the text reads: I've donated to the #KidLit4Ceasefire Third Annual Fundraiser, March 17th-31st. Donations open until 2/5. The link reads bit.ly/KidLit4CeasefireDonationForm, and there's a QR code that says "donate here" above it.
The illustrated cover of SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE by Olivia Dade (subtitle: "A Harlot's Bay Novel") is a warm peachy pink, with golden light coming from an overhead light fixture. The picture is set in a bakery, with racks of golden-brown pastries and loaves of broad. In the foreground, a pretty fat woman with long brown hair is sitting on a table, with a handsome fat man with ruddy hair and a beard standing between her legs. She has a hand tugging on his apron, and he has a hand on her thigh. They are nearly kissing and gazing at one another with desire and adoration.
A very warm and beautiful-looking blanket made in a flying foxtail pattern with something called brioche? I don't know what it all means. I just know that I love it so very much. The blanket is a reddish-brownish-foxy orange and white.
A comment reading: "I got my sister into dp, and we talk about it all the time. It has really bonded us and are always sharing photos."
The illustrated cover of WORLD'S OKAYEST ORACLE (RELUCTANTLY) SEEKS DEMON by Olivia Dade, featuring a man and a woman standing back to back against a hot pink background, appearing poised for action.

A closeup of a mostly-completed section of the diamond painting canvas, which shows the grid, some of the symbols, and a few colors of the drills (the resin pieces).
"The Bat Woman" (La Femme Chauve-Souris) by Albert Joseph Pénot. The painting features a naked white woman poised in mid-air in a dark, cloudy sky by moonlight, with eerie, glowing round eyes and bat wings. Her dark hair is whipping out behind her. She's awesome.
"Départ pour le Sabbat" (1910) by Albert Joseph Pénot, which features a naked witch on a broomstick in a blue sky with billowing gray and brown clouds. She's looking directly at the viewer over her shoulder, her hair flying out in front of her, with an expression of calm confidence. Her butt is excellent.
The graphic has a peachy-pink background and shows the dust jacket for Olivia Dade's SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE. The dust jacket features a naked, hot, fat man on one knee embracing a pretty fat woman, whose hair flows out behind hair and whose suit jacket is falling off her shoulder.
In this painting, three people--two women and one man--are sitting at a a small table, eating and drinking wine. They are all looking at you. The dude looks pissed that you dared to disturb them or even enter their proximity. The women look disdainful but amused, as if this is just fodder for more mean gossip about you, and one of them appears to have a napkin on her head?
The painting shows rock formations in various shades of brown and green jutting out of the green-blue water. On one of those rocks sits a naked siren with long, dark red hair and a lyre (I think) in her hands as she looks down at a sailor in the water below her. He is shirtless, with a rope wound around his upper arm, with longish dark hair, an earring, and an indescribable look of dread and fascination as he looks back up at her.
Against a pale green background with a subtle leaf pattern, there are images of Chloe Angyal and Olivia Dade and the logo for HEA Book Boutique, along with the following text: Broadcasting Live, IG Live: @HEABOOKBOUTIQUE, Facebook: HEA Book Boutique, YouTube: @HEABOOKBOUTIQUE. Saturday, Sept. 13, 1 p.m. CST.
A Sexy Man with flowing white-blond hair and a silver headband, has his muscular arm lifted and his eyes closed and his head turned to the side. He appears to be checking on the efficacy of his deodorant, or possibly checking whether he remembered to apply it.

The background is a speckly bright purple, and in the foreground are a man dressed in black and a woman in bright pink overalls and a white tank top standing back to back and holding hands. He has a huge sword at the ready, and she is brandishing a shiny cleaver. All around them, clutching at them from the edges of the image, are bright green zombie hands.
Against a wooden backdrop, a hand-knitted purse in the shape of a cleaver, alongside two custom purple, sparkly soaps and the paperback of ZOMROMCOM by Olivia Dade.

A photo of myself in front of a fireplace in the early 1990s, with majestically feathered bangs and long, wavy hair over my shoulders. I am wearing a jumpsuit with shoulder pads, because of course I am.
A photo of me at my desk just now, looking directly at the camera, with my rock collection and my books on shelves on behind me. I am not wearing makeup, so apologies for that.
The caption on the image reads "Make pizza in 20 minutes! Yummy homemade pizza." The thumbnail image shows four slices of untoasted standard white bread on a sheet pan, topped with an unclear melange of different foodstuffs, including red onion, sausage slices, olives, tomato pieces, and assorted other stuff. It does not resemble any pizza I've ever seen before.
An overhead view of my "Birth of Venus" diamond painting in progress. I've completed the bottom two-thirds of the image, approximately, leaving her forehead and parts of her hair and the background yet to be finished and still covered by translucent release papers.
An extremely closeup view of a diamond painting canvas grid, the unfinished parts of which include upside-down smiley-faces and upside-down "@" symbols.
A partially eaten pan of brownies with a cream cheese swirl on top. There are many fewer brownies left than I'd expected, because my family descended on the pan like locusts. Very wonderful and cute locusts, but still.
A photo of...lilies? I think?...at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania. The flowers are bright reddish-pink and chartreuse green, while the background is dappled in blue.
A partially complete diamond painting version of Venus from Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus."
A bright rainbow in a cloudy sky over a waterway.

An overhead view of the diamond painting in progress, which is a closeup of Botticelli's The Birth of Venus. The bottom third of the image is completed, but the rest is obscured by translucent release papers and various diamond painting paraphenalia, including reading glasses, trays for the drills, the pen, wax, and a resealable container full of little plastic envelopes of drills.

Her hair is twisted up, she's wearing an ear cuff, and the pattern on her dress matches the pink and peachy-coral tones of the cover.
A zebra is dancing in the center of a room full of colorful, also dancing people. That zebra is clearly comprised of at least two people in costume, and looks at the camera with an expression of utter confidence and triumph, like, THAT'S RIGHT, I'M AWESOME.
