Professional labor photographer. Unions for all. Birds. Whales. Cats. Hydration. Maybe a dash of democratic socialism. Not necessarily in that order. Too much optimism for the current moment.

Cute content skeeted often, not with the news cycle

Our enemies are cowards and we're going to defeat them.
Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.
Well you're definitely not a froggie

I'm happy with my decisions
You have a case of the Mondays.

I have a case of it's retribution time for the working class and I'm going to make the capitalists pay for their avarice and greed.

We are not the same.

Bonus. Seal. Pup.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

A coyote walks through the Streeterville neighborhood Monday evening in Chicago.

Taco Bell workers in El Dorado Hills, CA are ON STRIKE today against, racism, physical violence, as well as verbal and sexual harassment.

It goes beyond worker abuse: there are rats and roaches in the kitchen and lobby.

The situation at the store has become a nightmare.

We won't allow it 🧵

FINALLY GOT IT!

I've taken well over 100,000 pelican pictures, maybe 200,000.

Over 20,000 the past month alone.

Today, I snagged "The One That Got Away"

In my infinite optimism, I give you, a very rare:

Fish success story.

The boss takes out his anger with ongoing verbal racist threats and abuse - nearly every shift cursing at and calling several workers “stupid, and “f’ing Mexicans”; and making racist statements when he sees Latino customers who do not speak English.

I've never gotten such perfect smol muppet owling beak on beak action in my life so far, and it was taken from over 500 feet away, in 84 degree heat, on top of asphalt, facing the sun!

Really psyched for baby owl season 2026! 🪶 🐣

And if your brain pops when you realize it's half a mile from an airport, and if you think wait, doesn't that mean airplanes are taking off right above their nest? YES! it's fucking absurd! Great horned owls are absurd creatures!

Oh man, even crazier, this is going to BLOW YOUR MIND. Reoccurring nest, last year there were nests on 2 of the 4 entry ways. No idea what birds are making them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_...
