The image depicts one girl labeled as "Apollo" throwing a red dodgeball labeled as "the gift of prophecy" at her friends, who are labeled as "random internet users just trying to be comedic."

I could be doing better about Obsidian-ing but I think I've finally found a workflow that works well for me

post-like: 
my terminal is just a giant atuin session now and i can't remember how to type without it. feels like cheating but also the only way to be a productive adult. 10/10 would short more skeets.

record, so theoretically everything it needs is available on the standard.site document so I could avoid round tripping for no good reason. (you'd also need to be able to use the coverImage field in Airglow but that's a separate problem)

This is neat! One caveat: some of the suggestions for "where should I go instead" are "In The Pacific Ocean". This map is the 21km SW of Isla Vista row. (caveat two: there's KM here even though I have the settings set to mi)
Screenshot of places to gothe listed coordinates for SW of Isla Vista put me off the coast of Isla Vista, just north

A close up picture of a white and gray cat’s face. They look somewhat annoyed with the photographer, and the surface they’re laying on is covered in cat hair as if to say this is a favorite spot of theirs.

Precipice by @rob-sheridan.com.
A framed art piece. The piece is heavily defined by vertical lines, looking somewhat like a glitched frame of video.

The primary focus is a red streak highlighting a silhouette on the landscape.

Gonna be honest Pillsbury, I don't entirely think this answers the question.

Not allowed to be called out like this 😭
a question asking "what's going on?" with four radio buttons to pick from: 
- it's annoying or not interesting
- I'm in this photo and I don't like it
- I think it shouldn't be on Facebook
- It's spam

Add in a center thing where conservative media buys into the concept that "blue checks are being sold under the table".
An image meme of a man kneeling by a set of dominos / domino like objects. he is about to knock over the smallest one which will topple larger ones one by one. The smallest domino is labeled "a college roommate getting you a blue check on twitter", the largest domino is labeled "Bluesky being the 'juice'"
