(Thanks for showing up and doing the things!)
I sent this article to the family group chat and we ended up spontaneously reading it out loud together (as best we could) and it was a fascinating, delightful experience.
(Collective interpretation was much more effective and fun than individual efforts)

A cartoon by Jon Kudelka Three men in thick clothing at a small table between two buildings. Each man has a beverage. The buildings are labelled "Mawson's Huts Replica Museum" the other "Lark Distillery Whisky Bar & Sales" Text below the image: "I am just going outside and may be some time"
RIP Jon Kudelka
A comic strip, from https://wondermark.com/c/523/ The website for this comic has the sub title: #523; In which Vince achieves Victory - June 2nd, 2009 The top-line of the strip has text on the left: WONDERMARK by David Malki! And on the right: get to work at WONDERMARK.COM (Wondermark has a distinct visual style - from its Wikipedia article: "It features 19th-century illustrations that have been recontextualized to create humorous juxtapositions.") First panel: A man, presumably the Victory achieving Vince from the subtitle, stands, in dark clothing, and a hat that makes me think "train conductor," with his arms spread, pushing back a curtain with one hand. He is holding some kind of wrench in the other. He stands over a woman, reclined on a bed. She seems indifferent to his presence. Vince declares: "Stand back!" "I am man!" (The written text is in all caps, but that feels a bit too shouty for the alt-text version. There's also some use of bold text for emphasis - I'll use capitals for that.) Second panel: zooms closer on Vince. He declares: "There was a thing wrong with a mechanical thing in our life." "I FIGURED OUT the problem." Third panel: Zoom even closer on Vince. Lines have appeared behind Vince's head drawing further attention to the grandeur of his declaration. "AND I FIXED IT." Fourth panel: We return to the framing of the first panel. The woman, unmoved (and still indifferent) replies: "You replaced a washer in the kitchen faucet." Vince responds: "It REQUIRED a WRENCH" --- The linked website has an additional alt text: "I nearly even broke a SWEAT."

For a moment there I thought you were talking about Dogma π
Seems like something @matt.godbolt.org would podcast about, if he hasn't already.
A photo of an old Mac retro set up in ridiculously overdone vibes, like some kind of Lisa Frank Real Life Fever Dream. The colours are almost right, but turn to neon and gradient vibes like photoshop consumed serious quantities of LSD.
Vibes.
It's the first time we've grown it, didn't know quite what to expect. It's been a long time since we planted it so pretty happy to see it flowering π

An original PS3, vertical, next to a 30-something cm TV (the cathode ray tube variety). The TV shows that the PS3 is booting Linux: two larger penguins representing the PPU cores of the PS3's CPU, and six smaller penguins for the SPUs. On top of the TV are two of original PS3 controllers - one still in original packaging. The un-packaged controller sits atop two games, still wrapped: MotorStorm and Resistance: Fall of Man.
Lost to time.

Nice! Keep doing what you're doing π
And if your enjoyment of food extends to preparing your own, I always find having grown your own ingredients to be super satisfying.
I find plants that produce things - fruit, flowers, varieties of color and shape - are super enjoyable.
(It really helps if you have someone around that keeps the plants alive and happy - I'm not great at that part)
I've found that I thoroughly enjoy (re)reading books that I enjoy reading. Reading for fun, if you get my drift π
