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.

Elderberries


You know, once in a while, I worry that ModBlog is getting a little too classy, and I think, how can we fix that? And then, like manna from heaven…”fartbarf.” Thank you, iamjack! Thank you.

    I was really excited when I saw the two f’s on the end and thought it might be some kind of rotationally symmetrical word.

    I am suddenly filled with the desire to find an inner lip tattoo that can be viewed by the owner of said tattoo AND everyone else and be read the same way.
