A black and white fluffy puppy looks up with her little puppy eyes at the camera. Her paw rests on the blanket on the photographer's lap, which has a fantasy map (of Taldorei, specifically). She's standing on her back legs under a desk, begging for attention and/or to aggressively lick my hand. The puppy is white on the underside and her leg is as well. Her face is a gradient from white around the mouth to black by the ears, with black down the side and back of her neck. To the left you can see part of one of her favorite chew victims, my slipper, because none of her other 15 toys she's acquired in the week we've had her really have that Velcro feel and foot taste she's apparently looking for.

Cross stitch on cream colored Aida. In the middle is a dumpster with flames coming out of it. Above it, in light blue and pink, is curved text that says transphobes. White text on the dumpster reads "are" and below in pink and blue is text that says trash in a wavy pattern.

A cardboard grocery store style display full of an assortment of fireworks, including poppers, an assortment titled "Patriot Pack," which describes itself as "safe and sane," bottle rockets, a half cylinder looking thing that's labeled "Taco Tuesday," and a similarly shaped partial cylinder shaped vaguely like a generic seashell called "Sea princess"

Two pages of blank undated calendar repurposed into two columns of ink swatches, most of which note the pen used, nearly all of which are the Rohrer und Klinger Glass pen. It is a wild variety of ink brands and colors. There's also a random comment next to a prompt from the page for the year that says "Time is meaningless"
A page of writing in three different colors. The width of the letters varies wildly from after initially dipping the pen to when it runs dry, with some extra variation as I spun the pen in my fingers. There is a lot of feathering and blobs at the start of the Robert Oster Elf Cap. A fair bit less so with Diamine Writer's Blood, and less still with Birmingham Ink Hydrangea. This is written in a notebook with the glass dip pen tucked into the crease.
