Sheesh, a lot has happened since I left. I knew it was bad but wow.

As someone who grew up exclusively in the SBC, this fascinates me and 100% tracks.

Currently reading “Everyone Who is Gone is Here” and it discusses how the ABC tried to help the undocumented in the ‘80s and were brought to court over it. Would never see that type of moral stance from the SBC.

I completely forgot to watch the debate but I was reading recaps and feel similarly.

I regret that I only had half a day at Organ Pipe Cactus. Would love to go back. Here’s a saguaro from there.

Because of Minneapolis, many faith leader across the country have information and training they are able to bring back to their own cities. ❤️

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!"
"Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!'

Thank you, that is extremely kind!

I forgot the bee was in there! 😂

The last diptych. I mean, just for now. Summer wildflowers.

All I'm going to say is if I were going through a rough time and wanted to articulate that it could get better over time, the Titanic is not the historical metaphor i would be using

I’ve had the same idea for down here in Texas!

Diptych with the image on the left showing a “little free library” box with a glass door and red wood perched atop a wooden post like a bird house. The little free library is placed next to a meandering dirt path with a garden behind it. The image on the right shows an empty plastic water bottle left top-down in some short, dark green weeds next to a curb. Please don’t litter.

Anthropogenic.

How long until we see a clip of Mike Johnson saying he doesn’t know about Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway

Considering Norway has not awarded me the Nobel Prize in Physics despite me following ALL of Newton’s and Einstein’s laws, I will be forced to think of myself and wage war on gravity

Photograph of a single pink flower floating in a dark pool of water with lily pads around the edges of the image.

It was shockingly difficult to find a photo that works with today’s #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #One but I finally did it.

I’m definitely getting one of those. Another friend recommended the B’s MK3 reel but I think the Stearman just seems like it would be easier.

People under federal criminal investigation for the murder of Renee Good by Trump's DOJ:

-Her wife who had to watch
-The Mayor of Minneapolis
-The Governor of Minnesota

People not under federal investigation:

-The motherfucker who actually shot and killed her

A woman is leaning over, looking into the back of an old camera on a tripod. Her head and the camera are covered with a gray jacket.

Husband took while waiting.

It worked! Tripod got bumped when I put in the film holder (which appears to have some minor light leaks) for the first image, but otherwise— success! In the comments is a photo of me using my jacket as a dark cloth. 😅

Tomorrow I should get my first two 4x5 negatives & scans back. I’m really hoping for no light leaks and that I did everything right. 🤞 They were test shots, so nothing spectacular, image-wise.

The next two I’ll scan myself and later this year start developing, at least black & white for the 4x5.

Diptych image. Photo on the left shows a wooden bench with two empty birds’ nests on one end. There are high grasses and a lake in the background on an overcast day. The right photo shows a close up of the two nests.

Curiosities.

A photo diptych. Image on the left shows a wooden birdhouse in an overgrown field of tall yellow flowers with dark skies behind. On the right is an image of one grouping of those same flowers, with tall green stems; a lake and shoreline are seen behind with cloudy skies lending a pinkish over cast.

Stormy summer afternoon in Texas.

Haha I love this! Also happy birthday!

I watched it SO MUCH as kid. Probably our most worn-out VHS, so I don’t blame you. Lol.

A Goofy Movie! I haven’t thought of that in ages!

a man is laying on a bed using a laptop and a tablet Alt: Colin Robinson, a vampire character on the show What We Do in the Shadows, is lying on his stomach on a bed, swinging his legs up and down like a kid, while using multiple laptops and tablets.

New technique I’m trying out to help me avoid reacting to rage bait or bot replies:

I mentally replace whatever they said with, “Women are getting too tall”, then I have a good laugh and go on with my day.

Being a hs history teacher this week was difficult. I was set to start the week with Jan 5th but then we kidnapped the leader of Venezuela so I had to teach about the Monroe Doctrine and then the president started yammering about Greenland so I had to teach abt NATO and then Renee Good was shot and

Photography of a yellow & black striped fuzzy bee on a bright red & yellow coreopsis flower. The image is taken from directly above and the background is a soft blurry green of grass.

After shooting film for so long I had to dig back into my digitals to find something #vibrant for the #BlueSkyArtShow .

FUCK ICE and FUCK this entire MAGA Administration and all who enable them.

Every single day.
