Decided to take the Pentax out for the first time in months. Shot some Ilford sfx 200. Excited to see how it’ll turn out.

Anyone have any good photobook recommendations? Black and white rural work preferably but anything is good.

I picked up a 35mm β€˜cron and a 50mm β€˜cron over the past few weeks and I’m pretty content with my daily carry camera/lenses now.

They're members of a singular generation, one that didn't have to fight in either of the World Wars but got to reap all the economic benefits of the prosperity that followed. They bought houses, sold them for ten times what they paid, and watched their stock portfolios boom regardless of who won at the ballot box. Their prosperity was so vast and so great that it likely feels to them as if all of human history was coalescing to enable their charmed lives. But nothing lasts forever. No matter how rich or powerful you are, life only ends one way.

Still, these older Democrats don't want to hear it. Rather than contend with their own mortality, they've convinced themselves that they can hang onto their power forever rather than hand it off to those next in line, even if that comes at the cost of every bit of progress they've won throughout their careers. They are an aging grandparent on a national scale, unwilling to stop driving no matter how dangerous it becomes for everyone they pass. They will hang onto Senate and Supreme Court seats until the exact moment of their deaths because to do otherwise would be to acknowledge that their great, prosperous, ride is coming to an end. Not satisfied with 70 years of dancing to Benny Goodman as their wealth ballooned, they're determined to crank up the volume and Sing, Sing, Sing.

Wrote about the Democratic gerontocracy and how they'd rather watch it all burn down than let a younger generation become the voice of the party

There’s so much more I want to scream into the void. I feel like I’m holding it all in and eventually I’ll explode.

At the end of the day it sucks, and it’s going to suck for awhile. Remember that there is power in numbers. Again, don’t let people belittle you and make it seem like you’re crazy for being scared or upset. You’re not, you’re human and have empathy.

I will absolutely be more than happy to eat crow if our leadership somehow grows a spine and starts standing up to threats, but I don’t see any crow on the menu anytime soon.

This this this. I’ve lost all faith in our leadership on both sides, one party taking the easiest road to end the country and one other party taking the high road all the way to the end with them. We can no longer rely on any of them for change and protection.

Don’t let any of this become normal. You’re not overreacting, what’s happening is absolutely fucked up. Don’t let people tell you otherwise.

As Trump pushes false FEMA claims, officials warn of 'extremely damaging' impacts FEMA officials pushing back against misinformation about Hurricane Helene recovery and assistance.

#FEMA this isn't a debate. They bumped the elbow, made things worse and now wants to get rid of it. Fuck that. Misinformation is winning people need to call in to their representatives. Representatives need to be held accountable. If it doesn't change people will die.

It’s great, and haunting, and makes me want to try limiting myself to just black and white for awhile.
