Metal backplate showing an indented bullet hole in the upper left, above the left shoulder blade. The indented portion has a hole where the bullet fully penetrated, in a location that suggests the bully tore through the lung of the wearer. The cuirass is in the collections of the Bayerisches Armeemuseum in Ingolstadt, Germany.
A selfie of Rachel looking like she just emerged from the ocean, holding an origami submarine, with handwriting saying 9:00 EDT, AMA, and r/history.
Four paper submarines made out of origami sit on a desk. The submarines have writing on the side of the pattern hidden by the folding.

A small black dog in the same pose as the black squirrel in the original post. The dog has her paw hooked around a person's arm just like the squirrel has its paw hooked around a tree branch. Both are looking up with giant, sad brown eyes, and both are adorable and deserving of hugs.
