A screen-capture of three tumblr text posts:
@marcvscicero 
writing style: author from the 1800s with a severe love of commas whose sentences last half a page (sic)

@fencer-x
I came out here, to this point, to this place, hoping against all hope and despite signs and portends suggesting otherwise that I might, somehow, find myself having a pleasant experience, and yet here I 
stand, alone against the world, feeling *assaulted*, attacked on all fronts; knowing not my enemy's name nor his face nor whether our battle is done.

@hello-kitty-senpai
...is that "I came here to have a good time and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now" but by Oscar Wilde

This is from Monday, but they haven't Been Cute around me today and there haven't been sunbeams to be shared anyway.
two black and white (tuxedo) cats mirror each other on the top of a cat tree, sharing a sunbeam in their catio.

Mouse plush!puss is on the left facing right and Sumi tiny!cat is on the right facing left.

Cat is correctly assembled and non-working as intended. 😁 Sumi tiny!cat does remarkably similar poses all the time.
A small black and white long-haired cat lies on her side on top of a light blue electric heat pad that is in turn lying in a green cat bed. Her paws are stretched out towards the camera, with one largely blocking her upside down face from view. 

She looks both very relaxed and very comfortable.

Mx Smashy, large home-made mallet lies diagonally across a set of bathroom scales. 

The mallet is made of a short length of steel rebar, the head of a short section of steel pipe with steel plate welded over the ends, and the head filled with something heavy. (Lead, very possibly.) The whole thing was once painted a bright blue, but has since ~50% flaked off. 

The scales read somewhere between four and five kilograms.

An excellent, considered and coherent refutation of those that argue against the existence of any art or fiction that contains aspects they find problematic or 'icky'. Posted particularly for @foxhall.bsky.social , who I know has had trouble with these arrogant and self-absorbed fools.

Saying "this niche, properly tagged, warned, and rated piece of fiction could theoretically hurt someone" is not a good argument. This properly labeled cookie with the allergen information that contained gluten could theoretically harm me very badly, but only if I consume it. Tags are like nutrition labels, and warnings are like allergy information. If you know you have an allergy to something, the logic is to stay away from it. It is the same with fiction. I'm not running through stores yelling at people to take all the products with gluten off the shelves just because it could hurt me. Instead I ignore it and go the the gluten free section and find cookies that are right for me. And if running through a grocery store yelling sounds ridiculous, that's because it is. Stop doing the same with fiction.

And just like with food, what might be harmful for one person to consume could be quite *beneficial* for others. One man's trigger is another man's catharsis.

randomslasher
AND if you lack the maturity/self control/awareness to stop yourself from eathing things that could potentioally harm you, you either 1) are too young to be making your own food choices and should be supervised by a parent/other adult who is supposed to be responsible for you (and the store clerk who put the food on the shelf is NOT) or 2) need to take accountability for your own actions, because if you deliberately consumed something you knew could hurt you as a fully autonomous adult, then you really have no one to blame but yourself.

Can I be real for a minute
A numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) stands on a fallen log looking towards the camera. 

The numbat is a small, distinctively-striped animal between 35 and 45 centimetres (14 and 18 in) long, including the tail, with a finely pointed muzzle and a prominent, bushy tail about the same length as its body. It's colouring ranges from soft grey on the head to reddish-brown across the shoulders and upper back, and with a conspicuous black stripe running from the tip of the muzzle through the eye to the base of the small, round-tipped ear. A number of white stripes cross the animal's hindquarters, which gradually become fainter towards the midback. The underside is cream or light grey, while the tail is covered with long, grey hair flecked with white.

🤣 This one is my other take on this theme:
On a background of bright yellow, there is black text on the left side and an antique style ink drawing of a somewhat portly man wearing an old-fashioned checked suit, a while vest and smoking a cigar with his hands in his pants pockets.

The text reads: "Hey, you there Fuck Off. And when you get there, fuck off from there too. Then fuck off some more. Keep on fucking off until you get back here. Then fuck off again."

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. Centred around 8! twenty-somethings, almost all white, almost all in the band that shared the name with the show. Ratings just weren't there from the start, and Fox canned it, never even releasing the 13th episode. 🙁
A photo inset on a field of light blue of the eight core cast members from the 1992 Fox TV show The Heights, about twenty-somethings trying to get by and make something of themselves and the band of the same name they were almost all in. 

White text in the upper right reads 'The heights', the title of the show and the band both, and underneath the photo reads text on an orange background all in caps 'How Do You Talk To An Angel', which was both the theme song and the number one song on the Billboard Hottest 100 in October of that year.

That trivia makes me smile widely and love the movie even more, a VERY high bar! I still have the A Kind of Magic album on vinyl, and with the exception of the first song, it's just Highlander songs. That first song is instead from Iron Eagle starring Michael Ironside. #HowVery #SuchEighties
The front cover to the 1986 Queen album A kind of Magic (sic).

It depicts the four band members (with Freddie Mercury in the centre foreground) in an extremely 1980s exaggerated cartoon style wearing jackets with shoulderpads but no shirts, smiling and dancing on a black background, liberally splattered with tiny stars, rockets and explosions of the sort you would expect from modern emoji options.

The colour pallet is a light blue for the skin of the bands, a bright yellow for Mercury's jacket, a subdued orange for his bandmates jackets and a slightly smoky red for their tiny legs.
