Close up of the top section of OHSU's South Waterfront building, featuring a geometric architecture with multiple triangles being ejected from the lower side of the gray building. Above is a smaller, seemingly separate part of the same building that resembles stacked storage containers with large yellow framed windows stretching all four floors Looking up at the ejecting triangles from below, they are painted differing shades of yellow-orange Looking up at OHSU's South Waterfront Center for Health and Healing Close up of an art-covered wall next to a colorful food truck. The wall is an abstract design with small jagged warm toned designs traced in black, while the food truck is painted in cool tones with seemingly less intense abstract designs

The dirty secret of pies is that they have the lowest ceiling potential of all sweets. Your best pie is merely fine. Your median pie is bad.

Desert mud (forbidden chocolate). #photography
A photo looking straight down at dried up mud in the desert. The mud has cracked into numerous geometric pieces and has many dimples on it from light rainfall.

For today's special 'Warme Dinge' ('Warm Things') at #FotoVorschlag, here is a very warm fire pit at an American Revolutionary War reenactor's camp site.

A fire pit with a couple of copper kettles, a cast iron stock pot on a portable grill and a three legged caldron filled with what looks like embers from the fire. There is a red shoe with an 18th century buckle in the upper right of the photo consistent with the proposed time period.

A misty autumn landscape featuring a calm reflective lake in the foreground, green fields and reeds along the water’s edge, and a cluster of white cottages nestled at the base of a tree-covered hillside. The trees show a mix of autumn colours, and the forested slopes behind are shrouded in soft fog.

“you can be disappeared”

this is actually happening to people irl in this country, getting a temporary suspension from Bluesky is not the same thing. grow up

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

The summer my daughter was 15, she participated in a science camp. And even though the camp bus dropped her off less than a half mile from our home, I had to pick her up from the bus stop. Because the camp required that parents pick up their minor children.

This post is not about a bus stop.

People aren’t asking for luxury - they’re asking for food and dignity. They’re asking for the systems built with their taxes to stop treating survival as a privilege.

We can’t eat political promises.

We can’t fill a pantry with excuses.

But we can take care of each other.

If you haven’t heard about the general strike/boycott. Big business count on consumers to spend big this week every year.

Show them you are displeased with their capitulation and support of the admin.

They are details floating around various platforms on the how. Only spend local.

Tokyo Asakusa cityscape at sunset, with high buildings and a train crossing a bridge over a golden Sumida river, under a beautiful orange sky ornated with horizontal strips of clouds beautifully brushed by a light wind. A few neon commercials typical to Japanese big cities are visible on the tops on some building.

This is why so many upper middle class assholes hate unions. They desperately want to live in a world where they're allowed to pretend that everyone they interact with is happy to serve them... and not doing it to survive the week and not be homeless. If Target had a union, this shit would't fly.

There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this.

Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage.

Let people find joy where they can, please.

My last set for October's #folderweek. Saturday was a dry day, so I went to nearby Duncan here on Vancouver Island. This place definitely has its little quirks. Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16 and Ilford HP5+ developed in D23.

A display outside a picture framing shop. There is a wooden easel with a black synthetic fur hanging from it. For some inexplicable reason, there are wooden sticks like skewers in the fur. A couple of tables contain various items, including a large close-up picture of tree branches covered in leaves. Behind all this is a sign that states, We Frame Pictures. A shop by the name of Medi Heady Glass Co. Below a big open sign are the words Glass, Bongs, Pipes, Bowls. An oversized inflatable model of a bong hangs next to the sign from a roof overhang above the adjacent sidewalk. An old upright piano in an alleyway. There is ivy trailing from a wall above and behind the piano. In a gap to the right of the piano is part of a sign with the word DAYS in capital letters. There are leaves from big leaf maple trees on the ground. A very messy space at the back of a rundown building. On the left is an old van. To the right, a sign is leaning against some rickety wooden stairs. The sign advertises the 39 Days of July, which is an annual outdoor music event held yearly in Duncan, BC. There are a couple of vehicle rims and a white chair to add to the clutter.

People getting their thanksgiving flights cancelled is going to -go great-, let me tell you

oh yeah my work trip is 1000% cancelled
gmail screenshot with the subject line A Message from Ceo Scott Kirby, sent 143am from United Airlines United Airlines MileagePlus # XXXXX215 A message from CEO Scott Kirby on airline schedule reductions Dear Robert, The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) recently directed every airline to reduce their schedules across 40 U.S. airports during the government shutdown. The FAA's goal is to relieve pressure on the aviation system so that every airline can continue to operate safely. That is the FAA's highest priority, and ours as well. No matter what environment we're operating in, United Airlines will not compromise on safety. Our flight reductions will start on Friday, November 7, and we'll make rolling updates to our schedule as the government shutdown continues. United's long-haul international flying will not be affected, nor will service between our hub airports: Chicago O'Hare, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Newark Liberty International, San Francisco and Washington Dulles. If your flight is canceled, we'll work to give you as much notice as possible, so you don't show up at the airport expecting to fly. But the best way to stay up to date is through our award-winning United app, which gives you real-time updates, rebooking options and more. Importantly, if you're traveling during this period and do not wish to fly, you're eligible for a refund — even if your flight isn't impacted. That includes non-refundable tickets and basic economy tickets. Even with these schedule reductions, we expect to offer about 4,000 flights per day. And because of the early November timing, our flights have more available seats than before the summer, giving us (and you) more rebooking options. Thank you in advance for your patience. We've got the best team in the industry looking after your trip and we'll continue to be open, direct and transparent with you throughout your journey. Sincerely, Scott Scott Kirby C…

📸 Have you heard: Autumn Chicago #Chicago #photography
In the early morning light the skyline of the South Loop shimmers and shines, blue skies and puffy clouds behind. In the foreground, autumn trees of all shades of yellow and hanging-on-to-green Yellow and reddish trees shade a path curving left toward some towers in Lakeshore East. A deep blue sky and puffy white clouds round out this lovely morning view. The pedestrian bridge leading up to the top floor of the Art Institute is buffeted on the right by autumn trees in full deep red glory, shining in the morning light Getting in my annual required Bean shot, framed by autumn trees in full red splendor. It's early in the morning so there's only half a dozen or so people beneath the Bean.

A colorful grove

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
As I drift into a quiet cypress and tupelo grove lit by late afternoon sun, the gold and amber of the foliage is dazzling. In this shot, tree trunks rise from still water, taking on unique forms. The light blue sky and its reflection create a border for a thick band of autumn color.

View from a high bluff at Torrey Pines State Beach in San Diego, captured in infrared. The Pacific Ocean stretches to the left, with waves breaking along the sand. A coastal highway runs parallel to the shoreline, leading toward the distant hills. The vegetation on the slope glows in warm crimson and orange tones from the infrared effect, contrasting with the cool blues of the sea and sky.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
