I check local groups online, check local news, talk to organizers, and collect literature from people protesting at larger events (there's always a few people). As for organizing, i am not an organizer in any way, shape, or form, so I cannot help you there. I barely know what day it is most days.

Took the new tripod out to test, most of the shots are just testing to get the right level on uneven ground, but this one came out a lot better than I expected. It's nice out but not quite spring yet.

2/2

Turnout wasn't typical of a protest here in town, at least to the ones I've been to, but the 419 definitely has some of the most dedicated and passionate people around.

Save our Children Protest in #toledo Ohio, I didn't take as many photos this time around, but I did spend the time listening, chatting, and also enjoying the nice weather 1/2

Great, they created the Torment Nexus from the classic science fiction novel "Don't Create The Torment Nexus" and then they gave it anxiety.

The only thing I let rip was the burst mode on this camera

Why yes, I AM photographing a Beyblade event.

The worst thing I ever did for my productivity at work was download Balatro on my phone

Went to a local state park with a new (to me) M43 OM-D, there were people there but with no wind and the lake frozen over it was eerily quiet. Could hear people 50 yards out having a normal conversation. Ended up leaving after about 30 min and a short walk cause some rain was coming in.

It's both. Legacy media is being actively bought out and dismantled, and the WSJ has always been "No, it's the children who are wrong", but it's gotten worse over the years.

I haven't touched the game in at least a decade but now that I see it mentioned, it all comes flowing back to me.

Now I'm thinking of Fenix and Duke again, and now I'm sad. Mostly about Fenix.

If you ever wondered how bad Northwest Ohio is, the snake on the lake ain't got anything on the lead sponsor of this bill's district

His district is in green. It's all one district.

Ohio Republicans introduce multi-bill package to mandate cooperation with ICE The suite of four bills has been dubbed by some as the 'Cooperation Package.'

The gerrymandered GOP stranglehold over Ohio continues to push the state to the bottom, finding depths that were once unheard of.

ET himself could stroll up Daytona Beach on Spring Break and I don't think that would be enough of a distraction.

This week feels like it has an extra day tacked onto it.

Not a fan of that.

Canonet hell yeah

Yeah I signed up with TEST after they had just moved to Wicked Creek to rebuild and fight Russian dudes over some planets, this must have been over 10 years ago at this point. Couple months later I was back in college and on the way to graduation, never looked back.

"We're sorry, your package will arrive on the 27th"

Buddy you said that about today, yesterday, and I wasn't holding my breath then either.

On the bright side, at some point within the next week I'll have a 16-35mm f/2.8 lens, been waiting for a good price on one for a minute.

EVE Online player corps have either better opsec than most state security or defense bureaus, or its "here are our exact battle plans, we will steamroll you anyway", and there is no in between.

There's also some "We don't know what we're doing until we do it" sprinkled in. I flew with those guys.

That's the worst blunt rotation I've seen all year

There's an argument that I've seen that this is part of what is causing a resurgence in film photography, because while a digital photo and video can be faked, with film there are always the negatives. A major downside is that with film there's processing time, and genAI can be done in minutes.

Yeah the marketing was near non-existent. I've been following it since Part 1, and I'm a fan of the series overall. Definitely worth catching at some point.

And thank you! Thankfully the protest was unimpeded, everyone was kind and the mood was very high, especially with the poor weather.

I, for one, would definitely like to know more about our Dread Lord and Cthonic Savior B'aelbla'rtmaaaaaalc'op, many curses upon their name

Was it cold? Sure was. Event organizers had hand-warmers and there was a spot nearby for people to warmup, the majority of people were parked nearby. Everyone there, as always, was kind, friendly & in high spirits. And I got to talk film briefly with someone from the Toledo Blade which was cool.

5/5

This was around when I had to crank the lens open to f/1.8 and hope for the best.
