If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula

A red ant crawling on the earth.

It is the Mystrium camillae, a subterranean ant commonly called vampire ants, for their tendency to feed on vital juices of their own larvae without killing them.

A rare but recent photo of me and my son, Ian (which why we’re visiting in Chicago in the first place)

On the left, a handsome young man with a ton of curly hair and a beard in process. On the right, a much, much, much older man with much less curly hair, glasses, and a goatee going grey.

If you see this, we implore you to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.

Foreground: concrete driveway. Background: blue sky over a neighborhood.
Middle ground: a lawnmower sitting on a mowed lawn, with a person’s leg right in front, visible from the knee down. Nothing can be seen of them other than a filthy white sneaker and blue jeans.

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time.

I did see someone carrying eggs from their own backyard chickens at a protest once, hashtag justportlandthings✨

Should've checked whether anyone in my house likes eggs before we got chickens. I have 67 eggs that need eating.
