A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Duck Then Cover!

I really like this rubber duckie tattoo by Munky of Deja Vu Tattoo (careful though, apparently he’s grumpy imaginative today), Fairborn, Ohio.

I hope her skin didn’t quack too badly during the healing.
