In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

I love the goofy times with you @nerdcore.bsky.social ❤️

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

If Democrats were in control of the House, the Senate, and the White House, and the government got shut down, then the blame should rest completely on their shoulders.

But that's not what's happening.

trump refused to meet with Dems, Republicans control all of the houses. It's on THEM.

We're three lines into "First they came..."

A front lit portrait shot of cats. It is a tight crop on her face which is sharply in focus. She is making intense eye contact with the lens and is framed by flowers and leaves.

Front Lighting

When shooting a front lit subject, make sure you are including one or more elements to make your photo stand out.

Here the framing of the model and the engagement with the lens are the elements that make the image stand out.

Hope it was helpful!

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Happy Summerween

We live in a world where we have never been more connected yet still so alone. I wanted to capture that ideal in this series.

Conversations in bed this morning about the feral kitten who lives behind her house.

@catswtats.bsky.social tearfully “Im sad for the kitten”

Me: “She has her mama and is living her best life hunting mice and things.”

Cats: “But she doesn’t know I love her!”

I love her so much 😂.

A close in shot of cats face, hair blowing across it and one eye staring into the camera. Her brunette hair looks bright orange in the sunlight.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?

Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

A Democratic Mayor arrested.

A Democratic Congresswoman indicted.

A Democratic Senator tackled and detained.

A Democratic State Representative killed.

We can all see where this is going.

Thank you love 💕

Good morning !

Reading the story about the woman in Georgia who is brain dead and on a vent but not allowed to die with dignity because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she was declared brain dead. Even in death, our bodies are not our own.

State-owned property.

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

Thank you love ❤️
