NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

Ushering in spooky season with a series of photographs I call "The Tower," focusing on the (overused, but w/e) intersection of nature and construct.

"With every step through the garden,
The tower looked on."

A pair of birdhouses overlook a prairie at the aptly-named Prairie Wolf Park just outside of Grand Rapids. A lovely place with old apple orchards.

A couple shots of a red wing blackbird from East Paris Nature Preserve in Grand Rapids. This fellow was a very willing, if wary, subject as he showed off his eponymous red wings for the camera.

What do I need for myself right now? For someone to tell me some good news.

I don't have any control over that, but I can just do it myself for others. My friends have some love/good news coming their way. If I need it, they probably do, too.

- you clean up that banksy?
- sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.
Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.
