Hearing gainfully employed people bemoan their lot in life while I have had to crowdfund, struggle to make ends meet and deal with a revolving door of housing insecurities for the past 6 years is...really something. πŸ₯²

It is essentially the same as the previous photo it’s just taken from a different angle behind the cat instead of beside it.

I recently found this set of four photos in which someone was documenting their cat’s obsession with the television. No date/info.

y’all should embrace capturing good times with your people. yes, be in the moment. but one day, all you’ll have are memories, pictures, or videos.

and there is a unique pain in realizing you have no new pictures to share with friends or family. no new memories to be made. and it hurts.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

A picture of a Black man with a blue patterned long sleeved collared shirt and an iPhone facing the camera. The star of the picture is his afro, existing in its beautiful, natural state.

Melkor and Ungoliant running between Middle Earth and Aman makes me think of Yzma and Kronk causing mischief in the Inca Empire.
