The thing that bugs me about this kind of narrative is that protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful, joyfull, and even silly for a long time. The Puppitistas have been a thing FOREVER.

People just... didn't actually pay attention to protestors. They payed attention to the narrative of violence

having lighting for work calls is just .. silly.

Just.. yeah. Silly.

there is no reason to have that point source reflection in my eyes on a work call.

Glad my hair looks nice today though.

Take outside of the Tacoma Northwest Detention Center, an ICE concentration camp run by the GEO group.

there were so people trying to visit loved ones with children. it is heartbreaking.
photo of a child's drawing propped up on a front window of a SUV. there are two figures and a couple amorphous shapes. the figures are labeled "my grandpa" and "me" with a further message over the shapes "please give him back."

@f15y.com your stuff is just always so much fun to play with once you have even a basic level of foreground/background separation.

according to this Michigan porn ban, this photo is pornographic.

this photo, fully clothed, with just my haircut and eyebrows to even hint at gender presentation, is pornographic?

get fucked Michigan. get FUCKED.

hmm I don't see it on Google maps.. the closest is a "possible road closure" on Rockville. wonder if apple maps has it this time?
screenshot of the roads around Walter Reed medical center, showing only one possible road closure. the quoted post contains a screenshot of what I think is apple maps? regardless, it shows multiple closures.

@katie.bzky.team this feels like a you thing.
Photo of a fake technical book "beautiful typesetting with LaTeX, where the text overflows the bounds of the box, there is a missing delimiter causing the subhead to be full of oddities, and there is a cute rodent on the front. With its tail hanging off of the left side of the book

I feel bad, but at this point I am buying one thing.. 10k gets me out the door comfortably with either of these and I have an upgraded commuter.

Office reorg is coming along. Pretty happy with it.
High angle photo of an office space. One wall is dominated by a cleat wall with a bunch of things hung on it, with a long bookshelf underneath. The back wall has a high window and a secretary, a bunch of other things sorta messy around it. Hard to make out but the left wall has a massive number of monitors

Look at this streamer ass background.

I'm fckin ridiculous
screenshot of the view from my webcam. White woman with a blonde undercut and headphones is making a "well, I am what I am" face at the camera in the foreground. The background is lit by colored lights and has a lot of things scattered on a striped (french cleat) panel. Also Chinga La Migra sweatshirt.
