The image is a three-panel comic strip titled "TWONKS." In the first panel, a woman with brown hair, wearing a red top, is speaking to a man with a bald head, wearing a blue top. She says, "Tomorrow could you make me breakfast in bed?" The man responds with "OK," and they both smile. The second panel shows the same characters with the woman smiling and the man looking content. The third panel depicts the man in bed, cooking on a portable stove, while the woman sits cross-armed, looking displeased. The bed has a blue cover, and there is a nightstand with a lamp and a kettle beside it. The background is a solid blue color, and the overall style is simple and cartoonish.

in reply to π΄ Seph π πΎ • • •The image features a black background with white text. The text is arranged in two paragraphs, with the first paragraph discussing the actions of Christian nationalists, stating that they ignore the teachings of Jesus, equate his compassion with "socialist wokeness," and reinvent God to fit their image. The second paragraph concludes by stating that these individuals are not worshipping God but are instead worshipping themselves. The text is presented in a straightforward, unembellished manner, with no additional images or graphics.
