Lost track of this, but going for a second wind: today's #UUlent word is #kindness.

Same sculpture, two photos, two #UUlent words: #bravery and #weeping. These are outside a VA hospital

The title is "Spirit of the Battle of Midway"

This #UUlent twofer comes from a tremendous bronze statue memorializing the Battle of Midway, and you can see it at Chicago Midway. The words are #bravery and #dignity

This is the photo that immediately came to mind for the #UUlent word of the day, #liberation. I can't exactly tell you why though

Though my first thought was fabric or a coiled steel cable, the controlled weaving chaos of nature well represents the #UUlent word of the day, #interdependence

One way I avoid treating film too precious is finishing the roll the same day I load it (6x7 helps here)

That's why I look for @tamslick.bsky.social shooting photos of me shooting

Our word, today, is Vulnerable. We invite you to share a picture, song, reflection or anything that calls your soul to reflect on it. 💗

Another. You can't *quite* make out it's Jonah Jameson, but it's much more clear it's a dead dollar store.

Getting closer though!

The #UUlent word is #blessed. Loaded word? Maybe. I does mean a lot of things. If you can see what you have rather than what you don't -- that's a blessing

Here's one of my dollar store death celebration photos

Still working the kinks out, but you get the idea

I'm actually working on a photo project where I take celebratory photos of closed/closing stores 😀

I'm not going to say this place is haunted--just kidding, it's definitely haunted.

Fitting for the #UUlent word of the day, #fear

No, I will not bemoan the death of dollar stores--it's like getting sad the cancerous tumor is going away

The ET thing was pushed after Roswell as an intentional disinformation campaign (there were people that got into "trouble" for this).

And it seems you can just spin people up with it ever since. Also mole people. Moon deniers.

But a real conspiracy, right out in the open? Nah, *that* one is fake

Incidentally, here is the "real" scan

Because this was from a quick scan with my phone, this is a bit like measuring with a micrometer and marking with chalk

This regular stop on the Underground Railroad is now home to the Kelton House Museum and Garden. Fitting for the #UUlent word of the day, #resistance

I was going to say, I think 15 months was my longest wait

Looking forward to it--the wait between the shoot and the publication can be torture sometimes!

Today's #UUlent word is #equity

I remember looking around and realizing every selfish awful person around me was a loud and proud libertarian.
