I'm just here for the cheese.

Bluesky prompts me to add a content warning to a link I am about to post. It suggests that this link may lead to Adult Content (including Suggestive, Nudity, Adult, or Graphic Media). It is a link to a fundraising page featuring a photograph of me and a friend participating in a charity walk.
A building headquartering the Canadian Racing Pigeon Union, apparently.
The 'Are Ya Winning' meme, but the man is asking Health Canada if they're winning. Health Canada, seated with a Wendy's combo meal in front of them, doesn't know.

My apartment building complex still has power, but it looks a bit like a lighted snow globe with no other lights visible beyond it.
A hissi neopet with tangled hair, blowing in the wind, strewn with autumn leaf litter. It is wearing a hard hat, worn black hoodie, high visibility vest, thick trousers, and work boots. It is working on a snow laden job site in the woods, smiling as it struggles to dig a hole through hawthorn.
An alternative logo for the Toronto Blue Jays designed by Alex Nursall (@saltandketchup) to help other Torontonians avoid dealing with their home team's litigious owners.
A SHEIN advert appears to have reduced a model to a floating torso, hovering only millimetres above a floor that would not have allowed for her to have a standard pelvic structure, even one that has since been photoshopped away.
An update sent to Etsy sellers informs us that the United States of America is removing the de minimis threshold, which means even piddly transactions (the scale of art and craft vendor markets and yard sales) will be subject to the chaotic tariff schedules that change on a 48 hour cycle.
A messy pile of circles attempting to illustrate the extensive overlap between bi teenagers who got access to a home Internet connection in the late 1990s and early 2000s and the establishment of online communities for some fandoms (especially The X-Files and Xena: Warrior Princess, but also Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Mummy).
A mural at Golem Fisheries in Port Stanley. It depicts a crew of eight standing on the deck of their fishing boat. The text reads, "This steam tug is typical of the commercial fishing industry circa 1920. It was not unusual."
A screenshot from an alumni magazine. It shows a thumbnail profile of one of the panelists for a touted panel discussion. He looks like a bog standard British man, with blue eyes and blonde hair, wearing a collared dress shirt, tie, sweater vest, and suit jacket. His name is Nicholas Boys Smith.
A boutique hotel notepad quotes Helen Keller as saying, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”
The sky, at sunset, looking impressively like an endlessly streaming trans flag as I ride an electric train through the English countryside.
A hissi Neopet with its hair braided to one side, dressed in grey slipper socks, bluish grey sweatpants, and an orange tank top. It is in a hospital room, wearing a medical bracelet and oxygen tube, baring its fangs as it struggles to drink a "pleasant lemon flavoured" solution from a medical drink cart.
