Every post I see from women today on TikTok is saying “they are trying to leak the identity of Jane Doe. We won’t let them! I am Jane Doe” “We’re all Jane Doe until none of us are”
Michael Tracy posting records naming the Cornell rapists and saying this Let's see if anyone has the "balls" to name this Jane
Doe so we can all evaluate her veracity, and that of her lawyers, since her lawsuit didn't hesitate to name & shame 7 of her peers as gang-rapists. And neither did this melodramatic editorial in the Corn...

📸 Ghosts & the flow of things #Prague #photography
Several pedestrians on my left and right blur their way past in a slight long exposure just after sunset on the Charles Bridge in Prague. Thanks to the same long exposure the sky itself is a bit too bright for what it was in reality A street light that maybe was gas at some point shines a golden light onto a plaza in front of the eastern gate to the Charles Bridge in Prague. It’s blue hour, the sky is mostly clear. People walk to and fro across said plaza Traffic of cars with their head and tail lights streak at right and center, traffic of pedestrians streak at left in this blue hour long exposure from central Prague. The five and six story buildings are lit from signs and street lights below, beneath a blue hour clear sky Tourist cruises streak their way across the Vltava River in this blue hour long exposure photo. On the opposite riverbank, rising in the distance, is an illuminated Prague Castle

Pour some out for the steamers Philip R Clarke & Arthur M Anderson, some of the oldest freighters on the Great Lakes, now in long-term layup in Toledo, neither expected to sail again. The Anderson was the last ship in contact with the Edmund Fitzgerald. Photos by Lou Gerard & Altafest.

📸 Wherever I go, Chicagohenge follows #Prague #photography
The sun sets beneath an arch embedded in a tower that leads you onto the Charles Bridge in Prague. Rays of sunshine beam in every direction, illuminating a number a people standing more in the foreground The setting sun in milky clouds over the Vltava River in Prague. The foreground is cast in silhouette almost, but you can make out some arches and features of the bridge and the buildings on the opposite shore Zooming in on the setting sun, features of the Charles Bridge are more clear complete with a standing crucifix above ine of the pillars

📸 lake forever, this morning's sunrise for now #Chicago #photography
Golden hour this morning over Lake Michigan. Said golden sky gradually brightens as the sun approaches, differing greatly from the blue water in a light chop in the foreground. An absolutely bird-covered (zoom in) crib well offshore stands in silhouette with a little lit light atop the structureThe sun breaks over the horizon this morning in a nearly perfectly clear, golden sky, above a sandpaper-textured Lake MichiganThe sun fully rises above the horizon, turning the water beneath it from blue to gold, all in a light chop. The sky around the sun is clear and bright. I'm looking into the 600mm lens so you don't have to.The Chicago skyline, still the best built by man, in the midst of its early morning shift in appearance from silhouetted in the predawn hours to one with more definition and windows and such, wrapped in just the lightest of hazes. In the foreground, portions of Montrose Point, concreach and bird sanctuary alike.

My bike rests on that bridge over South Pond, you know the one, with an almost calm pond in the background. Further afield, the Chicago skyline wears a cloud-shaped hat, covering the topmost of the tallest towers. Blue skies reign above

A, let’s call it witch? hangs from some strings over a street in Prague. Whomever the person is, is made from a wire frame with looking like a halo around the head, is set against a blue sky with milky white clouds Close up on the mysterious figure, you can see a halo around the head and also some hands, but the figure dissolves below the waist

📸 The colorful buildings of Prague do well enough on a cloudy day but good lord when the sun is out #Prague #photography
The Old Town Hall Tower stands above a cobblestone plaza in central Prague. There’s a few pedestrians about, sunny blue skies with puffy white clouds beautifully illuminate the low-slung buildings bordering the plaza in various pastel colors Several bright pastel buildings glowing in sunlight with puffy white clouds in the sky sit before a plaza in Prague. The yellowmost building on the left has Czech and EU flags hanging from itThe Church of Our Lady before Týn towers over smaller buildings in front of a plaza in Prague. We’re briefly in the shade, the sky full of blue and some puffy white clouds. The pedestrian is full of people walking to and fro Looking down one of the streets in central Prague where they hide the cars. Everything is still golden, everything is still cobblestone. The blue sky and puffy white clouds are still beautiful

happy nor'easter szn #wxsky
Visible satellite image from a couple of hours ago showing the beautiful comma-shaped cloud of a nor'easter as it backs westward toward the mid-Atlantic coastline. Intense, bubbling clouds producing heavy rain are on the outer edge of a sight, small, low-cloud masked core down at the surface - the opposite of the setup of a hurricane, for example, which is why this is not that even though it's definitely going to wreck some weekends

📸 Old modern #Dresden #photography
A modern yellow tram passes in front of (I believe) Cathedral St. Trinitatis in Dresden. The sky is blue with some puffy white clouds in it, the streets are cobblestone Cobblestone streets in central Dresden are quiet in this weekday, a parked electric bike and a vendor stand alone in front of some of the buildings near Dresden Zwinger. The skies are half blue half filled with puffy clouds A cobblestone street in central Dresden glows in an old timey light, pedestrians walking to and fro in the distance. The skies are party puffy white cloud filledPeering down a street in Dresden, a church to the left and other older buildings on the right, connected by a bridge over a street from one to the other. The skies are more clear and blue to the top, puffy white clouds to the bottom
