someday I'd love to return to documentary photography in a serious way but until then I go on my little walks and take my quiet little pictures, and I let the craft of it be enough for me #photography #nature

sage leaves are so intricate. the fine hairlike structures you can see are called trichomes #photography #nature

I like the way this piece of driftwood seems to contain a whole landscape. Unrelatedly, the Voigtländer 50mm APO-Lanthar is an absolute joy to use. #photography #naturephotography

accidentally read an Economist article and took 28 psychic damage
“The Odyssey” is also, when read carefully, a management parable. Odysseus is the Peter principle personified. He was a fine fighter, but has received no formal management training—and it shows. He has poor work-life balance (he has not been home for 20 years); he brings his whole self to work (he cries all the time); and he gets everyone who works for him killed—a failure he then neglects to address fully in his lengthy end-of-year performance review (Books 9-12 of “The Odyssey”). He exemplifies the importance of providing adequate training for senior managers.

Jeffrey Rowland wrote the only valid take on sex scenes in movies and it was in a webcomic in 2006
A strip from the webcomic "Overcompensating" where Weedmaster P asks Jeffrey whether he wants to see Brokeback Mountain and Jeffrey declines. Baby adds, "Jeffrey only likes cowboy movies with full penetration."

the tradwife movement was predicted in 1998 in a butt-related periodical called Hot Buns: "As fewer women do housework, its sexualization as a fetish image will rise to extraordinary heights!"
