I can totally see Eevee doing this in a few years (Copying the linked image to add alt text) mastodon.social/@booknotification/1…
A social media post by a user named writing_natali. The circular profile picture appears to be a woman with dark brown hair, glasses, and a red top. She is smiling coyly.

The post reads as follows:

My 6yr old got her glasses last week and she needs to wear them at all times.
They're pink and cute and she looks adorable, so it hasnt been a battle. She also loves to wear fun cardigans with her outfits, she calls them her "comfort cardi's". Today the librarian at our local library told her that she looked like the cutest librarian she'd ever seen. Her reply?? With the most serious face she could muster.
"I would never have let anything happen to the Library of Alexandria. Never."

I told myself to pick up a relaxing hobby for my evenings 🥲 #chinese #math #linearAlgebra #learningIsFun #language
A fanned-out stack of text books. The top book is a yellow hardback volume with a blue stripe at the top, entitled “Linear Algebra Done Right”. Underneath it is an orange softcover course book with a white stripe at the top and a grey-and-white striped stripe at the bottom. It is titled “Standard Course HSK 1”. Above the English title, a line of Chinese hanzi say the same. Underneath this second book is another softcover with the same color scheme but flipped. The title is obscured; it is a workbook for the characters required by the HSK 1 proficiency exam.

ELON MUSK WILL RETURN IN 2 Fash 2 Führious (H/t @Some_Emo_Chick; I wanted to write alt text. No, not alt-right text gosh)
A recursive social media screenshot. The outer post is by user Jamie Schler, @lifesafeast.Bsky.social, who has a profile picture of a woman with brown hair. I cannot make out further detail.

She has screenshotted a post on another social media app, possibly Threads, from user “thehalfwaypost”. This post says “BREAKING: Elon Musk is reportedly furious people keep calling Tesla vehicles “‘swasticars.’”

Atop the screenshot, Jamie has added the caption, “He’s Führious.”

Toddler #QotD: Sorry Niles Cat, we can’t save you right now. We’re building a house for the people of the future!
A simple, roofless house made from wooden blocks from a children’s train set. In the biggest room there are blocks laid flat to form two twin beds, upon each of which lays a wooden train engineer.
