A while back, a friend had me pick some yarn, and I still cannot believe she turned it into THIS, aaaaa

A woman with wavy blonde hair stands in an office bathroom photographing herself in the mirror with a handheld Panasonic Lumix camera. She wears a purple-grey and green dappled jumper depicting a flying saucer and the words "I want to believe," a famous poster from Fox Mulder's office in the X-Files.

Cat filled my bed with shredded bits of tinfoil while I slept, then when I tried to photograph his crimes he did this

An unintentional close-up photo of a light cameo ginger cat nose-bumping the lens of a camera, his golden eyes shining. The shot is mostly out of focus and his nose looks absolutely stonkin massive

A tweet screenshot from Jessica Valenti reading: whenever I get discouraged and want to quit something, I remember the words of my then three year old after she puked carrots all over the living room floor: "I'm gonna need more carrots."

THE EYEBROWS ARE UNSTOPPABLE I love watching these little buttheads torment my cat so much (safely through a pane of glass)

A New Zealand fantail bird perches on a twig, making a furious little angry face. The pīwakawaka has a pale russet body and dramatic white eyebrows upon its grey little head

We get pīwakawaka in New Zealand who only have one facial expression and it's Angy

This zoomed in photo of a New Zealand fantail aka a pīwakawaka shows a bird that appears to have a comically angry facial expression due to feathers that look like eyebrows. The bird is grey on top with a red underbelly

This top-down photo of a New Zealand fantail aka a pīwakawaka shows a little bird gripping a branch in its talons and looking surly about it. A fan of grey and white tail feathers spreads out behind it, hence the name

Home after a long, hot Develop! Immediately hosting a garden lunch afterwards! Fuck were we thinking! Had a joyous week - I'm so fortunate to know so many wonderful people and to have met so many new ones. All goes well, I'll be back next year! Especially since we found fossils on the beach 🥰

A woman smiles tiredly down at the camera, wearing rose tinted angular sunglasses. Her blonde hair is mostly contained beneath a straw hat and she wears a double twist of pounamu (New Zealand jade) around her nec

The Entity looks like this today, in its absolute yard sale of a hotel room

A woman stands before a hotel room mirror. She wears a floaty floral patterned dress in pink and periwinkle and a red linen shirt over the top. Her broad brimmed hat flops over her blonde hair.

A woman stands in a hotel room taking a mirror photo of herself. She wears a floppy straw hat and orange-tinted glasses as well as an orange and burgundy stripe scarf with white trim and a burgundy corduroy skirt. The mirror is made of woven cane.

Scorcher in Cambridge today but that hasn't stopped me for going on one bike ride for every g&t I drink (five of each)

People walk in shaded throngs down and old English town's pedestrian street. Coloured flags flap overhead and the sky is pale bluebird blue.

Golden sunlight shades the River Cam. Some boatsheds are off in the blurred distance as this photograph focused on clumps of well-manicured pansies and petunias in shades of pink and purple and red atop a houseboat.

Weekend in Glasgow, landscape mode edition

The many-paned windows of Glasgow Central train station rise above a street where a man in a very stereotypical Scots cap crosses the road. A traffic cone lurks in the corner

Weekend in Glasgow, portrait mode edition

Taken from the crowd at a concert, Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance reads a hitman magazine in his Black Parade concert outfit with goth boots and striped marching band trousers. The photo was taken outdoors, a crop of a big screen beside the stage to show off Way's puzzled expression, like he's just read some shite.

Interior shot of Parc Pub in Glasgow featuring football scarves and flags on the ceiling and Scots Gaelic throughout. People sip their pints and converse, anonymized with emojis because the photographer isn't a prick.

Ireland is just dreadful

This photo depicts a distant, misty sunset at the Ladies View lookout in Killarney National Park, County Kerry, Ireland. Stumps and scraggly trees jut up from the ferny undergrowth, partially obscuring the view of a shining loch and scattered clouds. Orange-gold sunlight seeps in between the peaks and clouds.

Hello, I'm around at Play By Play and happy to chat! You can find me looking various degrees of waterlogged in this absolute stunner of a coat

A blonde white woman stands before a mirror taking a photo of herself with her phone, which is purple and covered in stickers of koi fish. She wears a holographic shimmer raincoat that is either seafoam green or cyan depending on ambient light. Her shirt features two wolves howling at the moon and her messy blonde hair frames her face in choppy waves.

Find of the day was this big guy outside of the Tuatara safety fence in Zealandia. A celebrity!

This crop of a larger photo depicts a massive tuatara chilling in a burrow surrounded by greenery. Beads on its spines in blue and red indicate that it's being tracked by the wildlife park where it resides. The reptile itself is a large and vaguely iguana-shaped creature with a spade shaped head and big dark eyes.

Dramatic skies and lovely afternoon photographing the gannets at Muriwai. So heartening to see the population so huge these days 💙❤️

An Australian gannet stands amid a backdrop of blurrier gannets, guano, and cliff face, his beak tilted up toward the sky. The bird is white in body with a black stripe across his pinion feathers and tail, his head and neck shaded gold. A blue-black mask surrounds his eyes, which are startlingly cobalt blue. Taken at Muriwai, New Zealand

Fish tacos, bush walks, and sweaty pints at Piha

This vista showcases the iconic Lion Rock formation at Piha Beach, with swim flags and tiny swimmers standing in reflective, shallow puddles. Fluffy clouds adorn a bluebird sky, waves lapping at the shore, as the Pacific stretches out to the horizon.

Turning 38 with my dearest friends in a beautiful place

Misty droplets tumble down a tall three-storey waterfall which is set in thick tropical bush. Surrounded by green palms and moss, the falls lead to a swimming hole that people are eagerly enjoying. Above it all, a bluebird sky is dotted with just enough clouds to provide merciful cover from the sun (Kitekite falls near Piha)

Swimming holes abound in this river whose clear water is tinged blue-green. The bush surrounding is thick and wild, people enjoying picnics and lounging where they can

You ever eat half a paper bag and proceed to act like you're dying? Then hork up and be fine as soon as there's cooking happening? No? Just this guy?

A pale orange cat reclines on a plush blanket that is a darker color orange than his fur. He lays on his back with his front paws folded up, dramatic lighting across his pointy little snout.

The same cat from the first photo has now rolled over and faces a light source that has tinted his face slightly blue. The soft strands of his fur have been petted down and he's nestled into the blankets and pillows, perfectly goddamn unharmed.

Anyone else unable to look at the Jawbone of St Anthony without seeing a liddle face because of the reflections on his liddle glass faceplate

This gold relic purports to hold the jawbone of Saint Anthony, a real human jawbone in case in a gilt mask and headdress. A glass face plate protects the jawbone and the reflection of light upon it kind of looks like two cute little eyes. The poster has helpfully colored in a close-up to further emphasize the cartoonish face
