My iPhone switched last week from saving photos in jpeg format to saving them in Apple’s heic format. Heic is incompatible with Flickr, where I store my photos. I tried changing settings on the phone, but it didn’t help.

Year after year on October 31 in the 1950's, Walt Kelly would mourn the death of his infant daughter, Kathryn Barbara, by having a bug paddle through his #cartoon strip with a birthday cake and its lone candle, searching in vain for her. #Pogo, October 31, 1955
