Autumn 🏳️‍⚧️

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

This is why you always check your RIFAs before powering on.

92 years ago today the world’s only research institute about trans people was destroyed by the Nazis.

All transphobia is inherently fascist.

Suddenly unfollowing loads of people I followed in the previous 18months as they all start posting and my feed is not what I want.
