A photograph of semi-arid grasslands in Southern Alberta, Canada. In the distance above the horizon looms Chief Mountain in Montana. It has a distinct shape reminiscent of a submarine conning tower, with the left side being a sheer cliff and the right side having a gentler but still very steep slope. Foothills roll below in the far distance, with a blue sky and scattered clouds above. It is quite hazy with wildfire smoke in the distance. A weathered pole fence runs down the middle of the frame, splitting to either side with a metal gate on the right. In the distance along the fence a Canadian flag flutters in the air. Grasses and fieldstone rocks cover the ground, with a few orange wildflowers visible in the bottom left of the frame. There are a few farmhouses and outbuildings on the left, with brown painted metal roofs. On the right is a clump of deciduous trees with green leaves, possibly Aspen trees.
A photograph of a very weathered and cracked sharp light gray to dark brown rock embedded in the ground. Dark orange, almost rust-coloured lichens cover some of the rock, with small patches scattered throughout and some larger patches giving it a colourful covering, contrasting with the green foreground. A green low ground-cover plant is growing on the ground around the rock, and is encroaching on the lower parts with a tendril climbing up into a wide crack toward the right side. This plant is a rich forest green, and has what I would describe as cedar-like leaves. It felt somewhat like a succulent, and covered a very large area in this field. Small clumps of wild grasses fill the scant space between the ground-cover plant (I do not know what it is called). #plant #alberta #plantsky

poster for season 1 of The Decameron on Netflix. the cast is dressed in 14th century (?) clothing. they all have interesting expressions on their faces. most are holding goblets. Douggie McMeekin as Tindaro kind of looks like John C Reilly. Tony Hale as Sirisco has a surprised expression on his face. I just wish you could SEE it cast list adapted from Wikipedia: Amar Chadha-Patel as Dioneo, Tindaro's personal physician. A handsome and cynical opportunist, Dioneo has convinced the gullible Tindaro of his prowess as a doctor [...] Leila Farzad as Stratilia, the villa's cook. Untrusting of nobles in general and largely sarcastic to her fellow servants [...] Lou Gala as Neifile, Panfilo's intensely religious wife. A devout Catholic who believes God can personally hear her prayers [...] Karan Gill as Panfilo, Neifile's social-climbing husband. Cunning, manipulative and always looking for the chance to advance, he prefers the company of men but is nonetheless devoted to his wife. Tony Hale as Sirisco, steward of the villa. Loyal and hard-working, he struggles to keep up appearances in the midst of an intense crisis [...] Saoirse-Monica Jackson as Misia, Pampinea's charming, optimistic and eternally loyal hand-maiden. A lesbian mourning the loss of her companion Parmena to the plague [...] Zosia Mamet as Pampinea, a wealthy noblewoman arranged to be married to Leonardo, the owner of the villa. Endlessly vain, spoiled, and temperamental, she is convinced that Leonardo, whom she has never met, is her last chance at true love [...] Douggie McMeekin as Tindaro, the wealthiest guest at the villa, an oafish hypochondriac. Egotistical, naive, and obsessed with the history of warfare, he is distrustful of women [...] Jessica Plummer as Filomena, Leonardo's wealthy cousin, who has lost her entire family to the plague [...] Tanya Reynolds as Licisca, Filomena's handmaid. Beaten down by life and cynical about the future [...]

dune 3 poster parody, which reads "DUNC and Idaho" at the bottom of the frame, Paul Atreides holds a crysknife horizontally above his head, with a long flowing robe streaming to the left. Chani stands beside him, also holding a crysknife to her side.
A photograph of someone in the video section of what appears to be a Target store holding a DVD case of the film "Grain Husband", in the category "Romance/emotional classics". The subtitle is "The husband had become a grain". On the cover is a blonde woman looking at a grain of wheat that she's holding in her hand. Three identical-looking men with unbuttoned shirts are inset below, looking at the camera suggestively, and they kind of look like a young Hugh Laurie. There is a review at the bottom, from Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times: "The three brothers... held the key." A sticker on the case, titled "Suggested film/wine pairing", recommends "Dr. Aroused's Boxed Cabernet Sauvignon", priced at $19.99 (the currency is unclear). Below the sticker is a caption that reads, "ask a Target employee which aisle is 'wine aisle'". At the bottom is a picture of Barack Obama, "included in Barack Obama's annual 'top films for women - 2017' list. Below is the caption "thank you for selecting our film, and thank you for your presidency". This all appears to be satirical, but I remain hopeful that this is a real film that I will find one day.
a white and orange long-hair cat, relaxing in his favorite recliner chair, looks at me behind the camera. his facial expression seems to ask, "are you taking another picture of me? ugh fine. I do look good don't I?" his front paws are folded casually in front of him. he only has 1 hind leg, stretched to the right and hidden off-camera. he is the most handsome prince of a cat you have ever seen. he has the softest fur, and he purrs at almost all times when he's near you. people will worship him one day as I do. you love this cat. also there's a stuffed panda in the background that kinda looks like it's photobombing now that I notice it.
