Circular Myers-Briggs infographic with a pink and yellow wheel at center (Extroversion, Introversion, Intuition, Sensing, Feeling, Thinking, Judging, Perceiving). Around it, 16 type descriptions, from ENFJ to ISFP, each paired with a caricature of a famous person. Credit: Illustrations by Chris Morris. Red all-caps text on a light gray background reads: "ARTISTS ARE PEOPLE DRIVEN BY THE TENSION BETWEEN THE DESIRE TO COMMUNICATE AND THE DESIRE TO HIDE. — D.W. WINNICOTT". A small red Recite logo and the words "Made with ♥ by recitethis.com" appear at the bottom. A someecards user card with a green background. Text reads: "My favorite outdoor activity is going back inside where it's warm." Below, five bundled-up people in winter hats sit in a line on a sled sliding downhill. The logo reads "someecards user card". A green ecard-style graphic with a drawing of a dark-haired woman with bangs and a slight smirk, looking sideways, beside a speech bubble holding a gray heart. Text reads: "I want someone I can share my entire life with who will leave me alone most of the time." Black-and-white hand-drawn comic styled like a side-scrolling platformer. A small figure climbs stairs collecting stars and reaches an EXIT. Screen: "LEVEL END you have gathered ✸ x 3,154 it is pointless to gather these". The figure then meets a large dark creature: "i have done nothing wrong but you are still going to destroy me". The creature sobs. Caption: "CREATURE most vulnerable while HEAVING WITH SOBS". The… Bold black sans-serif text on a white background reads "Fuck it," then a black-and-white pen-and-ink illustration of a sailing ship with billowing sails on waves, then "it." The ship stands in for the word "ship."
