The Japanese version of the Uniqlo logo, which is four simplified characters arranged in a 2x2 red box.
Video shows a table covered with gaming dice. Trick talks to them in a creepy cutesy goblin/Gollum voice until one of their sons puts a hand in to touch the dice, at which point Trick becomes angry and protective of their dice.
A bowl of noodles and vegetables sitting on a plate that has a green onion cake cut into quarters sitting around the bowl. A hand is visible holding one of the quarters.
A respectably large dog that is some kind of mix (husky or malamute, some Shepherd, probably? A mixture of brown and grey with the mask markings that give him a soulful look) taking up most of a black couch and lying with a blanket and a chew toy that looks like Deadpool’s mask by his head.
A stock photo of a backyard with a pool in one corner and poolside furniture on the other side. In the middle of the screen, there's a donut shape wider than it is tall. The donut shape is gray and transparent, but it glows and appears to kind of shimmer at the edges.
Cliff Simon as Ba'al in Stargate: SG-1, wearing a modern human suit rather than a Goa'uld outfit -- a dark striped coat and pants and a yellow tie, sitting with a cocky grin.
Phone screencap close-up on some Wordle-type game with URBGN typed, letters in orange to indicate that this isn’t a valid English word and can’t be picked.
Scorpio’s from Farscape (pale corpse like alien in bondage gear) smiling while wearing some kind of headset.
Lego minifig on stand on a Lego box. The minifig has a big pink dress with a top that is candy themed and sexy (by Lego standards) in a kind of Katy Perry/Sabrina Carpenter way. She has a big smile and big pale green hair with purple highlights blowing in the nonexistent wind. Basically, she looks like A Lot.
A lineup of Lego minifigures in dresses standing on an unrelated Lego box. Left to right: Old West Robot Bar Lady (Lego movie), Vampire Queen, Roman Goddess, Old West Wyldstyle (Lego movie), Ballerina, Marie-Antoinette-looking French noblewoman.
Cat (mostly black, with white belly and paws and bits of brown here and there) lying ridiculously on her back with one paw extended, on a bed with fuzzy blankets all around her.
A slice of homemade pesto lasagna, showing layers of cheese, pesto, and spinach. (So it’s white and green, not white and red like other lasagnas.)
Screencap of an email from Netflix saying “Remember this?” And it’s Shadow and Bone, the fun fantasy/heist show that got canceled on a cliffhanger.
Screenshot showing the end of page 104 of a manuscript and the start of page 105. The text reads: Her hand locks on my shoulder, pulls me to her. And then she kisses me. (page break) It's fast and desperate, her hand tight on my shoulder. She tastes like salt and blood. for a... (and then cuts off)
Screenshot of Crave showing "An error has occurred" on a black background.
A large Tupperware-type bowl with its top off. It’s filled with homemade chocolate chip cookies.
Close-up of semaphore listings with two flags highlighted: A red-and-white checkered flag that means "YOU ARE RUNNING INTO DANGER" and a flag wit two black triangles, one red triangle, and one yellow triangle, that means "I REQUIRE A TUG."
Teal'c from Stargate SG-1 askng, with as much confusion as Teal'c ever shows, "The war with Canada?"
A view of an online battlemap for a tabletop game. On the left, a screencap of Moya from Farscape stands in for a big ship. Next to it are two circular icons showing an elf and an infernis (a tiefling from D&D but in the Daggerheart game). Charging them, a swarm of enemy ships. A big enemy cruiser on the far right has an ominous "5" next to it. At the bottom of the screen, a mid-sized enemy ship with "Hunter's Mark" and a glowing circle of lightning around it has fired a hand-drawn squiggle of red at a hero token of an orc, which now has "Restrained" and a kind of badly drawn star of energy around it. All enemy ships are overhead shots of ships from the Homeworld video game. The background is a star field with purple and teal nebulae.
A LinkedIn text from "Teledyne FLIR" that reads, "Hi Trick, As a Novelist at Self-Employed, detecting invisible gas leaks quickly and accurately is critical to safety and compliance..." and is cut off after that.
A calico cat on a cat perch blurrily swatting at something in the air.
A "Wordfence" notification saying that your access to this site has been limited by the site owner, with the reason being Advanced blocking in effect.
Photo: On a bed with blue sheets, there is a large dog, maybe shepherd, maybe husky, something in that neighborhood. He is lying with long paws stretched out. There is a dark calico cat stretched across his paws with her own paw extended (ending in a white sock) over his to claim ownership.
Tops of night-silhouetted trees in a suburban neighborhood, and above them, an aurora in the sky, rosy pink shifting to green as it gets higher.

Apple slices with sugar and cinnamon in a bowl on a red table.
Paring knife, peeler, bag of apples, bowl, all on a red table. In the background, a large dog sits on a couch.
Hand holding a dough blender that looks kind of like a Klingon punching dagger, with bowl of flour on stove in background.
Screenshot of a Google Slides deck that reads "Trick Weekes, September 27, 2025: 20 Years of Self-Insets", on a purple-black gradient background, with a picture of Trick wearing an angler-fish hat against an underwater background.
Close up on face of Trick Weekes, who sighs deeply and then does the Solas “I’ve journeyed deep into the Fade…” speech in the voice of Kermit the Frog.
Screenshot from the Lord of the Rings movie, showing an army of orcs marching on Minas Tirith.
A screencap of some gaming website article that is titled, "Frost Giant CEO believes GenAI can be a force for good," with a video-game sceen above it that looks vaguely sci-fi, with guns and a hologram and some glowing stuff.

A picture of Lake Louise, a lake with forest on the right and mountains on the left and far side. The lake is a bright teal, and the mountains are gray with snow in lines on their sides. The sky overhead is a deep blue with fluffy white clouds.
Target shop screencap -- a white woman wearing a light beige(?) hoodie with a front pocket. The only writing is on the shoelace-strings that go around the neck to tighten the hood, and they are yellow with "out loud and proud" on them in rainbow colors -- apparently this is Pride merch?
Screencap showing menu bar. Top bar: All Tools | Edit | Convert | E-Sign Second row: "This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary."

Screenshot of Lethal Company. Player viewpoint -- in dark, on metal walkway with a flashlight showing on some huge fleshy monstrosity crawling toward them. If you have played Lethal Company, this screenshot is something you've likely seen right before you die.

Rose McIver in makeup as "zombie who eats brains to solve crimes" Liv Moore from iZombie

Screenshot of 1970s Spider-Woman, with Spider-Woman looking at a brown wasteland with gray mountains and saying, "Somehow, I've stumbled into Dormammu's realm of darkness."
Screenshot of Spider-Woman cartoon from the 70s with Jessica Drew looking... I dunno, it's an expression. It's supposed to be flirty but looks like her eyebrows are seceding from the rest of her face. Subtitle reads, "And that's not all he's exposed. [GIGGLES]"
Screenshot of Word doc. Text reads: Preface In the summer of 2022, I was lying on the couch in my living room thinking about what to work on for my next novel. I wanted something fun, something outlandish, something that let me build a big world where anything felt possible. I wanted a world that felt like it could be airbrushed on the side of a van while still giving me room to tell stories with my particular brand of awkward, goofy sincerity. The idea came to me in a flash, and as I started to jot down notes, one of my sons came out and asked what I was working on. I gave him the pitch, and he said, somewhat judgmentally, "Dad, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard," and walked out of the room. Ten minutes later, he came back in and said, "Okay, I can't stop thinking about that world you told me about." "Right?" I said to him. "Me too!" THIS is that world.
