When will the media stop following red herrings?

Act locally
Pay attention to the national but act locally. Your workplace. Your community. Your neighborhood. Don’t get lost in the overwhelming nature of it. It’s designed, literally designed, to make you feel powerless and alone.
Refuse to be cowed. Refuse to give up. Refuse to accept this.
Refuse to be cowed. Refuse to give up. Refuse to accept this.

It’s no secret that tariffs were signed just before Musk and his people took control of ALL US citizen confidential information, began shutting down USAID, & introduced a bill to eliminate the Dept of Education. Another case of focusing media attention on one thing while a whole lot else goes on.

It’s finally time to deprecate this old, incredibly inefficient film refrigerator I’ve had in my darkroom for the past 12 years. I’m updating to a full size that will also hold a few stray items from the kitchen.
It’s making me consider if 2025 should be my “Year of Film?”

On the one hand, it may seem like a lot of work to rebuild our social graph on another platform. But on the other hand, starting over here on Bluesky is a fresh start. It's an opportunity to start anew and do something different. I like that.
