Known for my Maverick Heart books (Killjoys meets Firefly only queer). 20+ year survivor of metastatic synovial sarcoma (mortality rate 90-95% at the time so all this is dessert) Leg disabled. And I take pictures, mostly B&W, mostly street, but lately I want to branch out and shoot ALL THE THINGS

Despite the chill of the fall day, customers shop the fresh produce outside a neighbourhood market. A man in the background has his back turned to the camera. Filling the frame at right, a woman holds a single berry delicately between her fingers.

Misinformation is harmless, they say, it's just a different POV they say ... "Canada has lost its measles elimination status, the Public Health Agency of Canada says. Since the fall of 2024, Canada has recorded more than 5k measles cases in 9 provinces and one territory." www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

I'm really curious.
Post this on your profile and let your followers associate you with a fictional character that you remind them of.

The station exterior at night, looking south. Far left are the lights of the outdoor platform, but no riders are visible. Centre is the large window revealing the glass windows of the elevator and beyond into the station, one person moving through the station. At far right is one small, horizontal window revealing a glimpse of more passengers.

The Dinky Toy and Corgi Toy catalogues used to fill me with such joy. My dad used to bring me something from them whenever he went on work trips.

I'm reading Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead and this comea up on the playlist. I felt the synchronicity should be noted.

ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”

That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

Looking across the street at the base of an office tower. At left, we see the front end of a parked truck with a bright flare of sunlight on its windshield. in the background is a long, angular modern staircase leading to the upper left. Right of centre is a sign announcing a street closure. At far right are a couple of people, small in the scale of the photo, standing on the pavement.

The outdoor platform. Across the background of the image, side to side, a streetcar makes its turn to leave the station. Right of centre midground is a bearded man, his head turned toward the camera and tilted down. He is his left hand is touching the right side of his head. At far right are other waiting passengers.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Apparently, quite a few people in Kentucky were really, really mad that their polls were closed and they couldn't vote against Mamdani for mayor.

Wow.

For decades, every right-wing Christian blathered scary stories of how Muslims will behead queer people but as it turns out Muslims in North America have been more peaceable and respectful to us than any evangelical. If conservatives are gnashing their teeth today, they’ve only themselves to blame 🤷🏼

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.
Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

The shot is sharply tilted down at the right, on an uneven angle. It is a close shot on two food couriers waiting for the light to change. The one at right, closest to camera and filling the frame, has a parka on and is wearing a helmet with the visor up. The one at left, in the background, has his hand up to his ear.

Tonight is an UNAMBIGUOUS correction of the national moment.

Among other things, it demonstrates that STANDING UP FOR TRANS PEOPLE is morally AND politically correct ✊🏳️‍⚧️

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

In the stories I love most, there's this deep gentleness with the complexities of being a thinking, feeling being in a complicated world/universe. It doesn't let anyone off the hook, but at the same time it sort of says "I understand. It's hard, I know. But look at how amazing you can be." 1/2

Honestly there is no surer sign that politicians like Mamdani actually have a shot at reversing the massive and growing plague of income inequality than the way the billionaire class is absolutely shitting its pants right now.

Their fear gives me hope change is actually possible! More Mamdanis now!
