— Caroline Walker Bynum: Holy Feast and Holy Fast, p. 145

The image is a screenshot of a Twitter post by Shane Bauer ([@]shane_bauer). The post features a caption and an attached photo. The caption reads: "Haha Thailand paper trolling hard, using western media language to describe the US. 'The protests began in the small province of Minnesota, located in the agrarian 'Middle West,' over the killing of an ethnic minority by state security forces.'" Below the caption is a photo showing a nighttime scene of a protest. In the photo, a group of people is gathered, with one person prominently holding an American flag, which is being set on fire. The background shows a staircase with flames visible, and the scene is illuminated by artificial lighting. The caption below the photo reads: "Foreign Affairs: Unrest continues for a seventh day in former British colony" with a link to thaienquirer.com. The timestamp on the tweet is 14:48, 18 Jun 20, and it was posted via the Twitter Web App.

in reply to Curious Magpie • • •The image depicts a winter scene with a cityscape in the foreground and a mountain range in the background. The sun is partially visible, setting behind the mountains, casting a warm glow. In the foreground, there is a large evergreen tree with snow on its branches, and a building with a conical roof and a cross on top, suggesting a church or historical structure. The buildings in the city are mostly brick, with some snow on their roofs, indicating recent snowfall. The mountains are covered with snow, and the sky is overcast with a mix of gray and blue hues. The overall atmosphere is serene and cold, typical of a winter evening.
