Photo of a cluster of lily buds splitting, just about ready to burst, held carefully between fingers.
Photo of my yellow-and-brindle dracaena plant, crispy around the edges from too much direct sun, and my fingers dwarfed by its delicate, pale flowers extending from a massive stem. Several flower clusters remain as buds.
photo of a tall, deep indigo iris: a rewilded specimen that recurs annually in a secluded, inexplicable spot in a woodland gorge far from any possible garden from which it might've escaped
photo of a bright-pink, speckled-tongued foxglove flower. bobby has taken the picture at such an angle that it looks as if it is growing taller than you are.
Photo of the Swedish translation of Wislawa Szymborska's poem "Vermeer". It reads as follows. "Så länge kvinnan där på Rijksmuseum, samlad, i målad tystnad, dag efter dag häller mjölken ur kannan i bunken förtjänar inte Världen världens undergång."
Top down view of some kind of bug with ludicrously enormous antennae on my yellow sock.
Photo of my kitchen table, covered from corner to corner in only half my bookcase. It's an unusually sunny day!
Screenshot from the videogame Warframe, where they've just released a playable character who's a painter with a sketchbook where you can draw out her ability icons yourself: I've drawn the blank-eyed autism creature. Sometimes it's known as the yippee or TBH creature. I don't even know about memes, I'm 42.
A photo of me, a white balding dude with a nose ring and ragged facial hqir so poorly kept out of inexperience that anybody should be able to clock me instantly, laying back in bed with an absolutely exquisite ginger tom cat 16 years of age tenderly embracing my head and neck.
Pictures of five books spread across a stripey bedsheet. The books are Black Flame by Gretchen Felker-Martin, My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna van Veen; Stag Dance by Torrey Peters; Brainwyrms by Alison Rumfitt and Future Feeling by Joss Lake.
Well cropped phone photo of the latest "tool" at the top of the side bar in Adobe Acrobat, a program in which I edit scans of building permits, blueprints and other housing related schemata, suggesting I generate a fucking podcast about it.
A 4-panel comic of the "look how hard i can piss!" meme, but adjusted for the person to be nattering away about their special interest with such intensity that the keyboard smash covers both, and instead of the person having to stare at piss in the last panel, with no expression, they instead look on with a smile. Two pink hearts are also present.
A reversed phone-cam selfie of me on a sofa at my inlaws' place where we spent the night, with orange cat Sixten played out on top of me. With a mix of insistent gratitude, frustration and affection, he has placed both paws on my jowls, framing my smiling face as if to shake me awake, kiss me, or perchance to slay me through strangulation.
Screenshot crop from the videogame LUNACID: the player faces a pixellated painting of the fictitious cockatrice or basilisk. It perches on a rock, wings splayed wide.
Screenshot crop from the videogame LUNACID: the player faces a pixellated painting of a knight on a bowed white horse contemplating a very unpleasant way-marker.
Screenshot crop from the videogame LUNACID: the player faces a pixellated painting of a dour landscape. A solid stone wall sits squat in a wasteland valley, surrounded by mountains and starveling thin cypresses.
Screenshot crop from the videogame LUNACID: the player faces a very dull pixellated painting. The painting is of a the biblical shepherds fawning over the infant Jesus, presented to them on the floor of what looks like a tall museum building like the Louvre? The virgin Mary is also present, and her forhead is massive.
Screenshot crop from the videogame LUNACID: the player faces a pixellated painting with very vivid colouration. The painting is of a well-armed knight fighting a multi-headed, snake-like dragon, possibly at dusk given the bright reds and purples of the sky.
A screenshot of the videogame LUNACID: the player's disembodied hand holds a rapier on the right, facing a pixellated crop of a painting. The painting is of an unarmed knight on a white horse, about to enter a very dark and gloomy-looking woods.
A ginger tom cat on a porch looking somewhat startled by the gradient of powder snow.
Screenshot of the Sporothrix from the computer game Warframe; a very juicy-looking rifle that lobs nasty explosive pustules at your foes.
A cracked plate of curly pasta with a red tomato sauce: large white beans, whole sprigs of rosemary and little flecks of mozarella all fight for the spotlight.
A glass of spectacularly deep purple mocktail with a lemon wedge; in the back a bottle of almost black with liquid and a tiny copper-plated spoon.
A paloma cocktail; made with actual grapefruit juice rather than some kind of soda, it's a delicate, almost peach hue instead of traditional bright pink. Ice, lime slices and a sprig of green mint all float with some confusion on the surface.
A perfectly crisp puff pastry pie of mixed colour cherry tomatoes and shredded halloumi cheese, with thin red onion slices, covered in a generous melange of mint, thyme and black pepper.
A slightly distorted panorama photo of the area directly around our porch. It's raining, but it's not showing in the picture: the southern sky is lit up with a soft peach yellow while the northeastern a pale blue featuring a very large, distinct rainbow with a faded double haloing it.
A flatpack parcel, unraveled, covered in delightful ink artwork of dragons, knights, demons, goo, and other unholy apocrypha. People familiar with the style will recognize it as the work of Johan Nohr.
Photo of an old ginger cat sleeping on his side, body at rest on the sisal welcome mat by the front door, head snug up on the tassels of a knotty grey blanket set out specifically for him.
Two ruddy, knobbly figurines of vaguely humanoid proportions laying side by side on a baking sheet, sticks for legs.
Top down photo of my feet: the left is normal and veiny while the right is swollen up like a pink balloon and completely smooth in the affected area, which is larger than it has any right to or frankly should be since it's three damn days old at this point.
Photo of the top of a paper containing a ton of personal data and other critical information titled, in bold lettering, "anställningsavtal", which is Swedish for employment contract.
A screenshot from the game soulframe where my player character stands silhouetted against a beautiful landscape wreathed in dawns mist. A castle is just visible beyond the clouds.
A screenshot from the game warframe where the frame Valkyr stares down at a ghostly floating eyeball that stares back at her.
A teal ice-cream scoop stands up straight in a medium-sized tupperware filled with offwhite ice-cream flecked with pink raspberries.
An overencumbered chest of drawers conpletely covered by stacks of books of varyibg size, age and colour. It's not even all of them!
A stack of books almost exclusively with black backs: from bottom to top the titles are Danielewski's HOUSE OF LEAVES, Chambers' THE KING IN YELLOW, Felker-Martin's CUCKOO, Jackson's THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, Krasznahorkai'd THE MELANCHOLY OF RESISTANCE, de Maria's THE TWENTY DAYS OF TURIN, Purcell's THE SILENT COMPANIONS, Rumfitt's TELL ME I'M WORTHLESS, Süskind's THE PERFUME and VanderMeer's ANNIHILATION!
Screenshot of somebody's post of an orchid mantis holding a dead fly in either pincer. The post text reads "EVIL mantis forces flies to KISS and become HOMOSEXUAL to conform to SOCIETY"
An extremely rudimentary composite of shapes meant to represent a ferry with multiple cars on its deck.
The squishy sandprint of the front of my foot. My toes sank deeply into the cold mud.
A small replica of a classic Scandi cottage, painted red with white gables, moored to a tall rock. The Swedish flag hangs limp and tattered beside it. In the summer, the water comes up to its little dock.
The squarestone foundation of an old house, gone for decades now, usually submerged beneath the water.
A miniscule floe of ice, still in the lakewater.
Crisscrossing waterfowl tracks, deeply sunk into light grey mud.
Several small fir-covered islands in the middle of a lake being swathed in a quick-moving mist.
The worst mobile photo ever taken of the full moon. A blurry forest's top lines the bottom of the frame.
A screenshot of the post above, but with author Jeff VanderMeer having posted just below it, as if in reply, saying "Spring's pretty busy for me".
