As an art photographer, this is my work. It’s not pacification. It’s nurturing, it’s strengthening, it’s sustenance and therefore sustaining.
Tangentially: Passivation is a process that coats a material to make it less likely to corrode. Let’s all passivate ourselves.

@jdockter.bsky.social: I worked in state government financial services for over 28 years. Whoever controls the payment system wins. Meaning, you can take off all levels of approval with a switch. Internal controls are man made, but systems can be manipulated very easily and effectively.

Here on Bluesky let’s try to remember we’re in this together and give each other the benefit of the doubt by asking questions instead of making accusations or calling names. Let’s take care with and of each other. Support not denigrate. 🤟🏼
Here’s a photo I took yesterday at the arboretum. 😘

Still baffled. What I wrote was followup (in support of) Tazzie’s post about famous offspring being their own person which in turn was in support of Molly’s OP. Again, it seems we have a failure to communicate. As far as I can tell we’re on the same page here. I’m not sure what I’m being accused of.

Have you watched the A Quiet Place series of movies? Day One might be the best one yet.
It is brilliant. It stands alone and probably the best horror movie I’ve ever seen.

It is absolutely NOT a mandate. It is a COUP. A covert coup, but a coup nonetheless, via widespread voter suppression & carpet-bombing social-media disinformation campaigns. It’s the tyranny of the few. There are way more of us than there are of them. As Joe Hill wrote: “Don’t mourn. Organize.”
