Came across milkweed plants earlier today and found this guy laid back, munching on a leaf while using it as a blanket.

A monarch caterpillar lays across a milkweed leaf while grasping one above it, making it look like it's tucked in for bed.

My perfect girl. I miss you. I hope there's endless little pieces of crinkly plastic to play with out there 💔

A dilute calico cat, mid-yawn, with all her pointy little teeth on display. Her eyes are squinted and her ears are slightly pulled back, making it appear as though she's roaring. The Snapchat caption reads, "A monster."

I did everything I was supposed to. Went to school for over a fucking decade. Switched from social science to stats. Went to conferences. Got to know corporate exec folks. I'm still fucking homeless and unemployed and can't even get the grocery store to hire me. I don't know why. I'm so tired.

I just got flashbanged by the memory of Pon and Zi from this thanks

Pon and Zi artwork depicting Zi, the little blue character, standing in a grungy room with their organs spilling out of a hole in their chest, with a bright red heart at the end of a string of pink entrails. The speech bubble reads, "Oh, look. It's beating for you."

I just lost my baby girl. Renal failure. She was going to be 16 in November. My sweet bean gave all the love she had 💜 I hope she knew I loved her too

I'm Alex. I'm a trans guy in Atlanta who's about to be homeless. I have a place to go and a job there, but I need to raise funds for the road trip there. This cat dad and my cat daughter would be very appreciative 🤘🏻💜 V: @alexlytics PP: @alexlytics

The first of the big scary noises have begun, but lil babygirl is being brave, safe in dad's lap with some Hasanabi on the TV. My duty for the rest of the night is to keep her neurotic self calm.

Sat outside for a minute to check the storm vibes

A Tumblr post from the foxpost-generator account featuring a red fox standing in a whited-out environment, paws hidden beneath several inches of snow. The fox appears to brace itself, squinting against the wind.

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender.

A picture of the upper, hinge-side corner of a door.

White text at the top reads, "You know you want to, boy"

Larger, red text across the middle and bottom reads, "Obey your urges. Slap the top of the doorframe."

A person wearing a white T-shirt that reads "Mommy's Little Meatball"

A man reclines on a set of stairs covered in snow. A Windows warning message covers the bottom half of the frame. It reads, "You are running out of 'it is what it is.' Are you sure you want to continue?"

Response options to the warning prompt include, "Yes," "No," and "Help."

A Pikachu figurine that has been cut out of its rubber bouncy ball prison. The liberating scissors lie flat in the background.

Text at the bottom reads, "Him free."

"You gotta lock in. That cross-eyed fucker depends on you." What my buddy sent to me in response to this picture of little bean and me being a sad sack. Love that guy

Holy shit there's 100 of you seeing my lil shitposts. Thank y'all. Here's a picture of my cat

A dilute calico staring up from her dad's lap.

She has black/grey fur around her right eye and white/orange around her left eye, making it look like she only had time to do half her makeup before leaving the house.

A blue-green, metallic, star-shaped bell hangs from her collar, nestled in her white chest fluff.

Her pink little nose has a single dark freckle on the left side.

Am I nearly 30? Yes. Am I gonna go play in the snow later? Also yes.

The text on the picture reads, "Sorry y'all. Atlanta's closed today."

Looking bright-eyed and bushy-tailed despite the hair tie fiasco. Had a tasty dinner of chicken & fish wet food and didn't even barf it all over the floor!

A blue-eyed dilute calico wearing a purple breakaway collar sits on a pile of clean laundry. A star-shaped bell and round name tag hang from the collar against her white chest fuzz.

I look like my dad when he played football, just shorter. I'm cool with that. Thanks Jimbo

Cute guy in a long-sleeved, blue and white striped shirt taking a mirror selfie in front of a white door. With both sleeves rolled up just past the elbows, he holds his purple-cased phone in his right hand, obscuring his mouth so that he seems to be peeking over the top of the phone. His left arm rests wrist-deep in the front pocket of his light blue jeans.

The blonde curls floating just above his shoulders are reminiscent of an old printed photo of his dad, probably about age 17, dressed in a football gear.

I wish I could talk to my dad. Maybe one day.

WE DID IT BOYS. 💉 ME 1 DAY ON TESTOSTERONE. 2025, KEEP THE LIFE CHANGES COMIN' BABY.

A pale ass data scientist hiding his frizzy blonde curls with a black, rolled beanie lies face-up on a white, quilted mattress topper. It seems he didn't quite make it to the pinkish-purplish pillow just up and to the right of his head, but he's still feeling like a winner.

He looks a bit disheveled, his black and white zebra shirt entirely unbuttoned, binder on display for the internet, nay, the world to gaze upon.

Nonetheless, he seems happy, throwing up a real champ's thumbs-up with arms trembling like a Chihuahua with social anxiety, ears ringing with the sound of triumph, and subcutaneous belly fat chock-full of a hearty helping of cypionate.

He may look like he puked immediately after this picture, but he'll have you know he simply laid flat on the bed for about 30 minutes so he could put the ol' sympathetic nervous system on cool-down.

Making my first post on this account (again) a picture of my face the day I got my binder and realized how much I loved seeing a little more of myself in the mirror 💜

Mirror selfie of a trans man in jeans and a horse-print button-up with a thick black belt, barely holding back a toothy grin while seeing himself in a chest binder for the first time.
