I guess now they're saying that no weapon formed against me will prosper?
a photo of a homemade tie-dye t-shirt fresh from its first rinse laid out on some concrete patio steps

It's that absolutely classic slightly sloppy 60's primary color double rainbow spiral and the colors are extremely vivida photo of a tie-dye mid process, tied up in a spiral and wet with multiple wedges of different die in a plastic bag sitting on asphalt

I want simply what all posters have wanted since time immemorial: to whine so bitterly the lord almighty himself comes down in a cloud to scare the crap out of me and tell me to knock it off but then also he certifies to everyone that I am blameless and gives me six thousand camels

the used bookstore shelving a copy of "Defining Autism" directly in-between "Ship Models: How to Build Them" and "The Ultimate Guide to Hawaiian Reef Fishes" is an incredible bit

the new Phoebe Bridgers album is a bummer; just consciously swerving into more juvenile subject matter, shallow sanitized imagery, and personal easter eggs designed for engagement on the most vapid corners of the internet I get I'm not the target but the songwriting is bad and the pandering is lame

look how they massacred my Divino Niño
a photo of a Divino Niño votive candle from the clearly inferior Veladora Clasica line 

it's the standard image of a cherubic white child dressed in a pink robe, arms akimbo, halo, standing on a cloud but it's a inferior royalty free redraw with less definition and contrast

the image sits on a pink marbleized card with its name printed on top in a cheap rounded white block letter font, below it calls out that it's from the Veladora Clasica line —things that actually are 'clasica' don't need to proclaim it

most embarrassingly they've clearly used a drinking glass —presumably cheaper to source— to hold the candle as it has pitched sides which means that the rectangular card with the image does not lay flat and instead teases up in the corners a photo of the actually classic Divino Niño Jesús votive candle 

this one is just doing everything right: wonderful illustration with excellently rendered shadows on the face and robe, a golden frame to give the image good separation, classic straight tall straight walled glass; just everything as it is supposed to be

I haven't been posting but trust that My Year of Pie continues apace bsky.app/profile/paul...
a photo of a rustic cherry pie cooling on a wire rack sitting on a wooden table 

the pie is a hand formed galette, browned in the oven until slightly darker than the red oak of the table and filled with whole sweet cherries now a deep purple after baking a photo of a slice of cherry pie and a hearty serving of whipped cream on a small blue rimmed plate sitting next to a fork on a white placemat

[3] a followup to his own reply where the poster reminisced about a buddy who wasnt here to see this sequel before urging men that "even wild horses" need to get serious about their health and have things checked out when they don't feel right accompanying this post was a photo of running stallions

[2] the top reply which claimed principal photography had wrapped in New Jersey and it was "really good" which the poster knew because his buddy had provided italian catering for the whole production, he then assured everyone the movie was made "100% by paisans for paisans"

the localizer really dropped the ball, at a minimum they should have used the name "Samurai" I hope this is corrected in later additions of the novel!

another clue, what the fuck is this?
a photo of the 'Nothing in Drafts' icon from new Outlook 

a weirdly large graphic of an open envelope or maybe a vertical memo outbox with a single blank piece of paper in it with the and a floating pen like shape; all three elements are given shading suggesting three dimensionality but otherwise float shadowless on a flat background

the background, container, and blank page are all similar shares slate gray while the pen like shape is a color gradient that shifts from a short of yellowy lime green to cerulean in a way that suggests it is luminescent 

the left back of the container also has a cerulean color gradient as if reflecting light cast by the pen but the paper and the right back do not

none of the shadows are consistent regardless of whether or not the pen is supposed to be glowing 

below the icon is the text, "Nothing in Drafts / Start writing something fabulous."

taken together it's incoherent; what does any of this have to do with an empty drafts folder

I suppose maybe it's intended to be a gray container and paper on a white background intended to suggest you use the power of writing to conjure form out of darkness the weird gray on gray might be the result of dark mode design gore --although that would also be damning
