WHAT
A green ceramic hand giving the Live, Long, and Prosper sign from Star Trek.
Absolutely looks like a sex toy.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.
Still from the 1977 film Martin.

Martin is near center frame, close up on his face (cast in light against a dark background) with obviously fake, white plastic vampire teeth not properly fit into his own mouth. He's looking derisively at his uncle (an old man, just to the left side of the frame).

Christmas horror movie marathon begins! First up, The Occupant of the Room. Pitch perfect, chilly winter, existential terror. This is going on my annual winter watch list.
A black and white poster for The Occupant of the Room, with the title in white scrolly text on a black background. The main character is center frame, looking out behind you, in a state of existential terror.

Happy start of spooky season!
A screenshot of the Beetlejuice cartoon. 

Lydia is wearing a striped green party hat, holding a little spider, and presumably taking to Beetlejuice offscreen.  The text reads: The entire month of September is Halloween Eve.

Pride month, Friday night, 1970s, sexy vampire, French shenanigans with a prog rock sound track.
Art neuvo style poster for the 1970s French film titled The Shiver of the Vampires. A nude woman with blazing red hair and translucent fairy wings is captured by a large vampire bat (same color as her hair). She's distraught, and the bat peeks out at the audience menacingly from just behind her hip.

In pale blues, greens, and purples there are 2 scenes behind her.  On the right, a woman flowing cape holds a candelabra. On the left, a royal vampire couple looks on; behind them the outline of a spooky castle.

From patio season to haboob!
Dust storm coming into downtown Chicago. Bright blue sky facing to a medium gray sky overlooking a crosswalk with way to many people on it. Shot of the sky amongst the high rise. Bright blue fading to gray with the impending storm.

Screenshot for the Letterboxd entry for Canadian Bacon.  Big ass, goddamn grinning and hilarious John Candy on the banner. 

Text reads as such: 
(In all caps, probably the tagline): IT'S LONELY AT THE TOP WHEN THERE'S NO BUTT LEFT TO KICK. 

The U.S. President, low in the opinion polls, gets talked into raising his popul by trying to start a cold war with Canada.

My own commentary: 
It's a film from 1995 with one of my favorite actor / comedians. Fuck Jan 20th 2025. But God help you (and me) for keeping a sense of humor.

Love and peace.

Two cartoon kitties, one standing of the shoulders of the other.  Blue on top. Pink on the bottom. Yellow background. The top kitty is holding an orange flag that reads: our struggles are connected. Free floating text below the flag reads: bodily autonomy for all.

I really liked the emphasis on alt text when I initially joined and found this "how to" pretty helpful. You can be funny / creative / add little easter eggs to your post while also making this place accessible to folks.

The infographic outlines the following tips: identify who is in the image, what the expression is, general description, colors, and interesting features.

Happy Halloween!
Two pumpkins sit side by side near a doorway. The first one, with a big jolly smile. The second, smaller one, mouth open to yell and eyes wide, being feasted upon by a fat and furry grey squirrel.
