Photo of a brown tabby cat sitting upright on a towel-covered surface amid electronics-repair clutter — multimeter test leads (red and black probes), teal-handled needle-nose pliers, a translucent mesh panel, a red plastic cup, tape, and a small bottle; a blue-patterned pillow behind.

Embedded text verbatim: "NO ADDED SUGAR" (label on the small bottle).

> transcription (art):

Photo of a hobby-electronics setup on paper towels over beige carpet: a blue Arduino Mega board wired through a white breadboard (two resistors, many jumper wires) up to a translucent grey gel/silicone sheet at the top (the "skin"); a grey towel at left, a roll of masking tape, and a White Claw variety-pack box at upper right.
Embedded text verbatim:
[Board silkscreen]: "MEGA", "ARDUINO", "MADE IN ITALY", "WWW.ARDUINO.CC", plus pin-header labels (DIGITAL/PWM, COMMUNICATION, ANALOG IN, POWER, SCL/SDA, TX/RX and pin numbers), many mirrored/upside-down.
[Box, partially visible/mirrored]: "WHITE CLAW", "VARIETY PACK"

> transcription (photo):

Photo on a carpeted floor: an Arduino board on a breadboard, wired with many jumper leads to a clear plastic sheet dotted with a grid of red-marker dots (a home-made touch/pressure "skin"), laid on a sheet of paper; a gel pen, an oscilloscope probe with red/black clips, and a monitor stand are nearby. Upper right: a whiteboard with handwritten block capitals.
Embedded text verbatim (whiteboard, partly cut off):
left cluster — "…HAVE EXPERIENCE / WISDOM RESOURCES ALLIES / FIGURE OUT HOW TO / SAVE THEM!"
right cluster — "…OSE / THE WILL / THE FLAME / DO[…] / LOVE[…] / NOT PRESS[cut off] / NOT DUTY. / NOT GUILT. / LOVE."
