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.

Ben Wyatt from PARKS & REC, sitting next to Leslie Knope on the Joan Calamezo Show. Ben in a tie and suit, looking down at the ground with a pained look, Leslie looking over at him.

Bilbo Baggins from the 1977 cartoon. He’s dressed in a yellow vest over a white shirt with green pants, and his feet are incredibly fuzzy with brown hair. He’s holding a long pipe producing smoke rings, and he’s standing in front of that round door to his hobbithole with a goofy little smile on his face that makes you think he is STONED.

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.

The missus and I are going to Chicago this weekend to see the Young Man’s new apartment and otherwise hang with him, and we’re very excited The cats, who are remaining behind, a little bit less so

Our living room. Three cats look towards the camera accusingly, as though we’ve told them they’re adopted.

Renaissance cats

A shot of our living room in the morning sun. There’s a big sectional with a large ottoman covered by a ton of pillows and blankets and what not, with the sun coming in through the windows. Our three cats are visible, all looking at me. Jason and Marcus in sunny patches, Aaron on the floor.

Everytime I see that guy, I keep thinking it's someone doing Egghead cosplay

A picture from the waist up of Egghead, a Marvel supervillain. It's a white guy in a lab coat over a white shirt and red tie. He's got glasses and is snarling, and his left hand is reaching towards you, oh, and his head comes to a point.

I was seven, my brother was nine, and my dad would take us every week to spend our dollar allowance on comics. We’d each buy three and then switch (I don’t remember if I bought this one or he did). So many characters! So many plot lines! But I loved it all.

Avengers #164, 1977. On the cover, masked heroes and villains wallop the crap out of each other.

If you see this, quote skeet a pic of yourself in sunglasses.

Me, a late middle-aged white guy with curly brown hair and a salt-and-pepper beard sits in a medical office, wearing heavy looking boxy sunglasses.

Coupla summertime layouts laying about

Two cats lie on a bed. Jason, a black and brown marble tabby lying in the foreground, takes a traditional pose feet underneath him and tail curled round. Erin, a green white tuxedo cat in the background, lies on his back like he’s been shot.

Here we see Jason and Aaron wrestling. Aaron’s a bit confused as to how it’s going. Sorry you’re sad.

Two cats entwined on the bed, one of them (Aaron) with a definite WTF expression on his face

Without downloading any new pics, what's it like being in a relationship with you?

“Yes, peasant?”

Jason, a brown and black marble tabby cat, lies curled up on a camp style footstool with a blue velvety pillow. His white socked feet hang over the edge as he regards the camera with mlld curiosity.

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

A cloaked vampire standing in a graveyard, arms upstretched, letting his cloak do the thing. He’s bald with pointy ears and an alarming look on his face.

Day one of vacation: the cats practice making geometric shapes (usually triangles)

A bed made-up with a striped quilt with a large window behind it. Aaron, a grey and white tuxedo cat, lies at the foot of the bed. Jason, a brown and black marble tabby, loafs at the head. Marcus, another brown and black marble tabby, is in the window.

Panel from a manga (don’t remember which one, sorry) of a brown haired guy in work clothes talking on his cell phone. He looks annoyed.

Yourself, but as a cartoon

A cartoon of a white guy with glasses, a beard, a very high forehead, and eyes that have a certain "now what?" expression in them. Artist's name is in the bottom right corner, Tony something.

Coulda been worse, before that had been Widow's Bay

Poster for Widow's Bay, with a couple in a red rowboat doing their thing in front of an island with a lighthouse and town. Looks idyllic, but if you haven't seen it, it's basically Parks and Recreation if Stephen King had been the showrunner

On the side of the road is someone in a giant yellow chicken suit. It’s wearing sunglasses and a nametag reading “Chad”.

If you see this quote with a pic of you in glasses

A white guy (me) with glasses and a salt-and-pepper beard leans over, looking down at the camera, smiling. Beside him is Marcus, a black and brown marble tabby cat, also looking down at the camera. The guy has a faint smile on his face, the cat looks more alarmed.

Cat island, as the missus dubbed it

Three cats on an ottoman. The back two, Marcus and Jason, black and brown marble tabbies are on heating pads. The closest in center is Aaron, a grey and white tuxedo cat, pillowtopping a green sofa cushion.

Jon Hansen @jonmhansen.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

Ah, Sunday

Aaron, a gray and white tuxedo cat, lies on his back asleep on top of an orange patterned quilt covering a bed. He looks like a person in a cat suit.

He’s had a hard morning. You know, doing this.

Aaron, a grey and white tuxedo tabby cat, lies sleeping on top of a bed made with a multicolored quilt. Behind him are variety of throw pillows. He is quite peaceful.

No new pictures. Where are you mentally?

In the center of a snow-covered section of pavement, a single salt chunk has defrosted a small place around it.

Snowfall has and is falling here in the Boston area. Damned winter wonderland out there.

View out our apartment window towards the Fenway. Trees everywhere all covered in snow. In the bottom right you can see the D line train chugging along.

Someone has attached giant googly eyes to a building right across from the Common. 151 Tremont is watching you.

A large brick building with two huge googly eyes attached to it. There’s an awning with the street number and a car going by out front.

Behold Walter the Space Turtle, the creation of my sweetie in her pottery class!

A ceramic turtle glazed with dark colors, with an interesting star effect on the shell! It sits on a white stand in front of a red brick wall.

The shell comes off, revealing it to be a bowl!

Aaron awaits the coming of Santa Claus. Honestly, he should take a nap. It’ll be a while.

A gray and white tuxedo cat sits beside a small Christmas tree all decorated for the holidays. Behind him is a bookcase and a window showing Boston. The cat looks mildly anxious, as though he’s not been good enough this year. This is, of course, quite silly.
