As tribute to the pioneers of photographic art I handcrafted a a wax luminary that features some of the amazing early photographs. First tribute is to Jean Louis Marie Eugène Durieu, known for some of the earliest nude photographs. (Trying to not get banned here, hence the ribbon 🙄) #galleriaobscura

When I lived in France we had a sweet old neighbor lady who would spit every time she passed a certain house. Eventually, her daughter explained to me that the home belonged to a man who’d collaborated with the Nazis 60 YEARS AGO. May these ICE goons face a similarly lonely future.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
