America is solidly in our, “Scream ourselves to sleep, shit ourselves awake” era.

If you’re in the creative business this is the future. Capital squeezing every last bit out of value out of humanity before tossing all of us away.

Turned on cable news and every network is covering the second day of the market crashing except Fox which is talking about DEI and the southern border. Even the soft morning shows have tickers showing the plunge. If you’re watching Fox you get propaganda. Hope MAGA g-ma and g-pa like cat food.

Boy, does this feel familiar. Everyone I know in the creative field is dealing with the ground falling out from underneath them. It's the end of the world as we know it and I (don't) feel fine.

Just when they should be at their peak, experienced workers in creative fields find that their skills are all but obsolete.

The answer to this question is Gwen Graham. But, she wasn’t perfect so democrats decided to go with a literal crack head under FBI investigation. I’ve always thought there was something fishy about that primary.

So maybe the “Abandon Harris” folks were wrong? Because I’m pretty sure she and Waltz warned everyone that this would happen.

It's not like they weren't told this was going to happen. I guess owning the libs while also self-owning doesn't feel as good. #FAFO

As someone who shot film in the “before” days and traveled for work I feel your pain. It’s so much easier to pack a digital camera and not have to deal with a few ziplocks full of film. And don’t get me started with ISO 800 film and TSA agents. On vacation? No thanks.

Some of us have lives and it might take 30 or 40 mins to get back to you. Hire me because of my work. Hire me because I’ve got 25 years experience as a journalist. Not because I was able to respond within 30 secs of receiving an email. This has been an ongoing issue for 20 years. Be better.

Photo editors who treat photographers as a solution to their problem of having an assignment suck. It’s super shitty for a photo ed to contact several photographers because they live in proximity to the assignment and then give the job to the first person who responds like they won a prize.

Sandhill cranes minding their nest with three gigantic eggs. One of the coolest bird things I've ever seen. I've been photographing sandhill cranes for decades but never seen a nest. Hoping to photograph the chicks soon! #birds 🪶 #cranes #sandhillcranes #floridabirds #nikon #nikond850

I’ve photographed Mynas in the Tampa Bay Area. Pretty sure they were someone’s pets that got loose but that’s all it takes for an invasive bird to get a foothold and start reproducing.

I nuked my FB and Instagram is now simply a portfolio presence. I deleted the phone app and I no longer engage with anyone when I do log in from a desktop. Unfortunately, that doesn’t matter because Gen Z isn’t logging off and TikTok is more popular than ever. We’re cooked as the kids say.

📢 One more time, louder for the people in the back: Billionaires who will never need to rely on Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security want to cut them to give themselves massive tax breaks. This isn’t Right vs Left. This is billionaires vs the rest of us.

We had this with A Photo a Day in the early 2000’s. It was the largest community of PJ’s sharing and critiquing images on the internet. We got so big we started meeting in person once a year. Social media killed it. We tried restarting it a few years ago and there was very little interest.

Martin O'Malley was here in St Pete yesterday talking about this. He threw out the 30-90 days thing but didn’t say why he believes this. He also said he thinks DOGE has fired many competent people at SSA. I hope he’s wrong.

Thankfully a judge in Oregon has stopped this for now. But I’m guessing it will end up in front of the Alito court who will say fuck the poor and sick.

I’d be happy to live literally anywhere but FL. My healthcare depends on my wife’s job and I’d be dead without it so moving is very tricky. Canada has socialized healthcare so if there is a way I’m all ears. The question we need to ask is does Canada want an influx of Americans?
