Screenshot of a social media post. Mari Costa @marinscos "my girlfriend and i came up with a new lesbian alignment chart" The image is a blank space divided into four equal quadrants. The vertical line has a sword at the top and a skull at the bottom. On the left of the horizontal line is a rose and a skull is on the right. So the four sections, clockwise from the top left, are rose-sword, skull-sword, gun-skull, and gun-rose. Distance from the center indicates how STRONGLY you feel that trait or identity. I am a mid-skull, mid-gun lesbian.

A white banner, looks like it's made out of an old sheet. Stenciled on it in purple in the Resistance Loon, a repurposing of the Rebel Alliance logo with a loon as the central spoke and wings as the side swoops. Underneath is stenciled " A NEW hOPE" That capitalization is deliberate.
A model kit in progress. It is some sort of closeup city street or alley, and the wires sticking out all over indicate it will have LED lighting when it is done.

Screenshot reads: A severe food shortage in Boston in 1713 brought a warning from town selectmen to the General Assembly of Massachusetts saying the "threatening scarcity of provisions" had led to such "extravagant prices that the necessities of the poor in the approaching winter must needs be very pressing."

They attacked Belcher's ships, broke into his warehouses looking for corn, and shot the lieutenant governor when he tried to interfere.

Screenshot of an Instagram post from Rodtang in a hospital bed. The text is too small for me to read so I can't type it for you here, I am so sorry.

I am sorry to all of the fans who I disappoint, you've always supported me.
