Shocking news out of Minneapolis

Joe and Eileen Bailey, the imaginary, middle-class Long Island couple @schumer.senate.gov consults to make political decisions, were killed by imaginary ICE Agents I use to try to get Chuck Schumer to understand the historical moment we want him to respond to.

A photo from a lost roll from Acadia, now found and developed. Definitely among my most fortuitous shots; this spot was crowded, but people moved back just long enough for me to snap this rainbow & sunset.

Pro Image 100, Pentax K-1000, 24mm lens.

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

Make a statement wherever you are with these stickers!

10% of profits will be donated to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.
Hey I have new sticker designs on my Etsy store that were definitely not motivated by anything specific.

Abolish ICE is the conservative position. Immediately trying ICE agents and DHS leaders for their crimes and abolishing the org is the moderate position.

Anything to the right of abolition is fascist.

i only want to hear about what a DHS spokesperson says if it's some variation of "ow ow ow i'm being crushed by this giant car crushing machine"
“A DHS spokesperson said-“

Ima stop you right there, Big Dog. I don’t give a shit what they said. Everything they say is a lie.

It's always been abolish ICE.

For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency.

I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.

My 18-year-old cat is having a sudden and severe health crisis. He's been my companion through a lot of important and difficult stuff, and I'm hoping we can help him.

Re: off-ramps and inclusion for former Trump supporters:

You are welcome in my tent when you own the harm you've contributed to, express genuine desire to do the work to help fix it, and back that up with action. That's... actually not a lot to ask, considering.

Pittsburgh take note. The answer to people relieving themselves on the streets isn't to remove the people it's to provide restrooms.
More public restrooms across our city?
Relief for all New Yorkers.

This time, I'm going to remember the #ttrpg and #ttrpgs tags.

For the uninitiated, Swords Without Master is a sword & sorcery game that focuses more on the gigantic meloncholies and gigantic mirth of adventure rather than the to-hits and damage.

Test shot of 100ISO 4X5 film in my Speed Graphic with adapted 1850 Petzval lens. I need to improve my developing method for 4x5 film, but the setup is working.

Walked 1/2 mile in the snow with 20kg of gear for this. I need a lighter tripod or closer subjects in the winter.

Me, sitting in front of my computer, overwhelmed, under-rested, with a brain that's being slowly poisoned by a constant infusion of infuriating, terrifying news and clumsy fascist propaganda masquerading as news.

I am glad I decided to stop attending TTRPG cons before the onset of COVID. At my last big one, I extended the trip by a few days and spent those taking pictures in beautiful places. It was so much less stressful and more fulfilling I ultimately forsook the cons in favor of photo trips.

Today we honor the legendary Nichelle Nichols on her birthday.

As Uhura, she didn’t just help define Trek, she changed the future. Her impact reached far beyond the screen, partnering with NASA to recruit women and people of color, shaping a real-life space program as bold as the one she imagined.

Had a good Christmas with the family, pestering everyone with my new Lomograflok Instax back for the Speed Graphic.

Glad to have a new way to shoot with the old gear, including >150 year old lenses.

Lab scan of one of my sunrise shots from Acadia National Park. Still need to send the camera for servicing so the frame counter will be correct.

Pentax 6x7, Takumar 200/f4, Portra 160.
