OK, slightly better picture that shows the shape of the crescent (still potato-washed)

A blurry and zoomed in picture of the moon in a horizontal crescent, with what is almost certainly Jupiter above it.

Sometimes you're having the kind of day where you're clenching your jaw more than you're not, and you're in a shrimp posture because you're trying to keep your head down, and then you get a care package from a kind person. Thank you.

One week after 9/11, I got sent on a job to downtown Chicago. It had been a week of anguish, mourning, &increasingly hostile bluster that would manifest into inevitable state violence to hold someone responsible. Just off the El, these were taped to all the k-rails around the federal buildings.

A piece of paper (one of many) taped to a K-Rail barrier outside a federal building in Chicago, on 9/18/2001. It reads "It's Tuesday... Do we know who we hate today?"

Below that, someone has written in pencil, "CONTINUE THE DIALOGUE".

These were all over the rails early that morning. They were gone a few hours later.

She shoved her head and paws into my hand to be held this way

A close up of a tan/orange cat's head and a human hand. The cat has her head shoved into the palm of a hand, face down so her eyes are obscured. She has pushed one of her paws out in between the fingers of the hand, and is resting her nose on the other paw. She is snoring slightly.

It is weirdly mortifying to be doing your weekend chores while listening to a pod, and slowly realize that the hosts are answering a question that you not only put hardly any thought into, but also completely forgot you asked months ago. Anyways, support @rangedtouch.bsky.social & Just King Things.

A screenshot of an email sent to thequestionsewer@gmail.com. The subject line is "Super Dimensional Fortress Stephen". The body reads as follows:

"Here's one for the question sewer special!

Which Stephen King property would you want to see turned into an anime series? Would you go for an 80's/90's era big robot style space epic? Or a more brooding Ghost In The Shell meditation-on-humanity riff? Howabout a 2010-esque magical Isekai?

[personally, I'm here for a comedy chibi riff of Misery - the hijinks of Annie Wilkes in rural Colorado!]

Bonus Question: Who would be the absolute worst Stephen King character to get strapped into a giant robot? Let's go Mobile Suit Jim Gardener!"

Just a totally calm and normal cat not having any existential thoughts, nor about to suddenly skitter off and yell 'HBLAO' in a corner downstairs at something only perceivable to someone who shits in a box

A zoomed in photo of a tan cat laying on her side, with one side of her face and eye smooshed into the platform of a cat tree, and the other side open wider than anyone's third eye has ever been. This is a creature seeing the blazing underpinning of secret Fibonacci spirals that form the backbone of the universe. She's perceiving the flavor of time. She smells God. She's about to fall off that cat tree.

TomboyX finally got me with the glo-in-the-dark cryptid underwear

A pair of unisex black boxer underwear on a grey background. The underwear features a repeating pattern of famous cryptids in a light blue drawing with red eyes. There is the Jackalope, the Fresno Nightcrawler, the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil, Mothman, and many more.

Friends, yesterday was national Spam Musubi Day here in the states, and I was totally unaware of this. I feel absolutely let down by the world. Next year.

A colorful drawn poster. A hand is holding a piece of spam musubi aloft. The three middle fingers are wrapped around the top of the musubi, with the thumb and pinky fingers out in the "hang ten" gesture. There is yellow text across the drawing of the nori, saying "NATIONAL SPAM MUSUBI DAY * 8.08"

An orange cat curled up in a crescent shape on the top side of the rear sofa cushion. She is asleep, with her striped orange and white tail partially dangling down the front of the cushion. Behind her are several open shelves with plants and grow lights. The one directly above her is a golden crescent moon shaped planter, full of succulents.

Let's be honest she probably also just farted.

Whenever I see people throwing punches down, instead of up

‘Dolly Sisters, right? Sounds like the Botney Street area,’ said
Pepe. ‘I’m sure of it. Not too bad, as I recall. I didn’t get beaten
up much down there, but at the end of the day they’re all crab
buckets.’
Glenda was taken aback. She’d expected anger or
condescension, not this sharp little grin.
‘You know a lot about our city for a dwarf from Uberwald, I
must say.’
‘No, love, I know a lot about Uberwald for a boy from Lobbin
Clout,’ said Pepe smoothly. ‘Old Cheese Alley, to be precise. Local
lad, me. Wasn’t always a dwarf, you know. I just joined.’
‘What? Can you do that?’
‘Well, it’s not like they advertised. But yeah, if you know the
right people. And Madame knew the right people, ha, knew quite
a lot about the right people. It wasn’t hard. I’ve got to believe in
a few things, there’s a few observances, and of course I have to
keep off the old booze—’ He smiled as her glance pinned the
glass in his hand, and went on: ‘Too quick, love, I was going to
add “when I’m working”, and good job too. It doesn’t matter if
you are shoring up the mine roof or riveting a bodice, being a
piss artist is bloody stupid. And the moral of all this is, you have
to grab life or drop back into the crab bucket.’
‘Oh yes, that’s all very well to say,’ Glenda snapped, wondering
what crabs had got to do with anything. ‘But in real life people
have responsibilities. We don’t have shiny jobs with lots of
money, but they are real jobs doing things that people need! I’d
be ashamed of myself, selling boots at four hundred dollars a go,
which only rich people can afford. What’s the point of that?’
‘Well, you must admit that it makes rich people less rich,’

‘Oh well, so long as you’re having fun,’ said Verity, looking, in
theory, from one to the other. ‘Here, have one of these, they’re
lovely. My treat.’
She reached down and picked a crab out of a bucket. As it
came up it turned out that three more were hanging on to it.
‘A crab necklace?’ giggled Juliet.
‘Oh, that’s crabs for you,’ said Verity, disentangling the ones
who had hitched a ride. ‘Thick as planks, the lot of them. That’s
why you can keep them in a bucket without a lid. Any that tries
to get out gets pulled back. Yes, as thick as planks.’ Verity held
the crab over an ominously bubbling cauldron. ‘Shall I cook it for
you now?’
‘No!’ said Glenda, much louder than she had intended.
‘Are you okay, dear?’ Verity enquired. ‘You look a bit ill.’
‘I’m fine. Fine. Just a touch of a sore throat, that’s all.’ Crab
bucket, she thought. I thought Pepe was talking nonsense. ‘Erm,
can you just truss it up for us? It’s going to be a long night.’
‘Right you are,’ said Miss Pushpram, expertly wrapping the
unresisting crab in twine. ‘You know what to do, that’s certain.
Lovely crabs, these, real good eating. But thick as planks.’

Crab bucket, thought Glenda as they hurried towards the Night
Kitchen. That’s how it works. People from the Sisters
disapproving when a girl takes the trolley bus. That’s crab
bucket. Practically everything my mum ever told me, that’s crab
bucket. Practically everything I’ve ever told Juliet, that’s crab
bucket, too. Maybe it’s just another word for the Shove. It’s so
nice and warm on the inside that you forget that there’s an
outside. The worst of it is, the crab that mostly keeps you down
is you…The realization had her mind on fire.

Now that the plans are underway to finally pull out this nearly 2 story high plant that never bloomed for 8 years (and is too close to the house), it finally throws out a bloom. In the leather pride colors. Right for the beginning of pride. Uh-huh buddy, I see what you're up to here.

Cleaning out the freezer, found some stromboli filling I made back in 2024. Thawed it out, augmented with a bunch of leftover broccoli I'd cooked the night before, along with the last nubs of a hunk of brie I diced up. It did not suck.
