Strongly recommending newly released British film "The Salt Path" to anyone with the time and inclination to go to the cinema and watch something beautiful and moving and meaningful and basically perfect. Anderson and Isaacs are both giving it all. #supportindiefilm #supportbritishfilm #chooseart

That moment when, whilst out walking one’s parents’ dog of a Sunday morning, you find yourself openly weeping because a fascinating and accomplished person younger than yourself has chosen the Overture from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves on Desert Island Discs. #middleaged #oldnow #randomtears

I know perfectly well where my towel is, and where my wild-swimming towel is, and so I win!
Do you know where your towel is?

This fine chap was waiting for the ferry to Tarbet at Inversnaid Pier when I went down there with my new/old Hasselblad 500c loaded up with its first roll of film under my stewardship. I can’t remember his name, alas, but he was from Mexico and his travelling companion was from Hungary #mediumformat

BREAKING
Authorities in the Philippines have arrested former President Rodrigo Duterte.
This comes after the ICC issued a warrant related to Duterte’s role in crimes against humanity during his administration’s “war on drugs,” which resulted in thousands of deaths and many extrajudicial killings.

There should be mass protests in the US over this. Allowing the US to brazenly transgress first amendment rights, down to rescinding green cards, shouldn’t be tolerated.
🚨 EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE
Columbia/Barnard faculty, Jewish community leaders, immigrant advocates, and rabbis are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE custody.
We will not be silent or cower in the face of American Fascism. #FreeMahmoud

With the banning of puberty blockers for trans youth, watch the increase in eating disorders climb in that group, as they do ANYTHING to have some sort of bodily autonomy.
Puberty blockers are a SAFE way to give SPACE to explore gender.
