An excerpt from a text message. The message sent is to me is “Why does calling your number always result in a failed call? Did you block me?” My response is “I have no idea who this is, so.. maybe?”
Three posts: the top two praising the brief amount of time in autumn and spring where you can just have your windows open and it's a bit chilly but you can just tuck your blankets in a little tighter, with no AC and no heat necessary; the third post a screenshot of the weather app showing Friday with a high of 78 and 65% chance of thunderstorms, Saturday with a high of 38 and 65% chance of snow, and the second most perfect response to this discovery--"oh you have GOT to be kidding me". The most perfect response would be, in my opinion, "oh for fuck's sake."
The same brown dog from the previous photo, waiting (semi-)patiently while I take a picture of him with me booping his nose with the tip of my finger.
A photo of a very dark brown dog with brown eyes and white tipped paws, looking up imploringly at the camera while we stand in the natural light of the back patio door.
A snippet of the World of Warcraft death popup, with writing: "You have died. Release to the nearest graveyard?" and a red highlighted button labeled 'Release Spirit' and a grayed out button labeled 'Reincarnate'.
Phobos is stitched from the 3 filters in its natural position based on the blue filter, as it moved during the exposures. The original image has been undistorted and enlarged to create a more natural appearance. Reference: https://www.flickr.com/photos/192271236@N03/53962162859 NASA's explanation when this was their Astronomy Picture of the Day: "If you could fly over Mars, what might you see? The featured image shows exactly this in the form of a Mars Express vista captured over a particularly interesting region on Mars in July. The picture's most famous feature is Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the Solar System, visible on the upper right. Another large Martian volcano is visible on the right horizon: Pavonis Mons. Several circular impact craters can be seen on the surface of the aptly named red planet. Impressively, this image was timed to capture the dark and doomed Martian moon Phobos, visible just left of center. The surface feature on the lower left, known as Orcus Patera, is unusual for its large size and oblong shape, and mysterious because the processes that created it still remain unknown. ESA's robotic Mars Express spacecraft was launched in 2003 and, among many notable science discoveries, bolstered evidence that Mars was once home to large bodies of water."
