This isn't a shot at people who need alt text, but for a site whose userbase demands it on every photo the admin sure doesn't make it easy. The mobile app won't take more than 2-3 characters/second and jitters constantly during input, and desktop just hasn't worked to upload images for me since June

I spent a lot of my apprenticeship at a non-union steel shop watching the difference between the 30 year olds with bad knees and the 60+ year olds who were still active and happy, and it really is "don't let them make you blow up your knees"

I have no idea where I'm going to get my boots repaired in a decade, the cobblers I've been going to are all in their 50s-60s and have no signs of training apprentices because it's hard technical work that doesn't charge much

Photography is about 70% learning to see and 25% learning not to read forums. Everything else fits in the other 5% honestly.

Caught @houseguestband.bsky.social at Victoria Pride last weekend, I was trying out a different setup than I've used for shows lately and I really love the results from the primes + soft-contrast filter. Pentax K-5 SMC-Pentax F 50 f/1.7 SMC-Pentax M 200 f/4 Tiffen Sof-Con 2

Bluesky doesn't seem to want to upload the big posts I made earlier, so here's a long exposure of @houseguestband.bsky.social at Vic Pride until I can get a real post out. Pentax K-5 SMC-Pentax F 50 f/1.7 1/2 second, handheld.

Got to be part of / photograph an experimental music exhibition and then watch one of my favorite local bands doing a free show at Pride this weekend. This is some of the most excited I've been to get into edits in a while. I'm so lucky to have the community and friends to do this kind of thing!

I had one shot at this. The bull was getting closer, and the camera struggled to find focus through the prism. I wasn't hanging around for a second attempt. #prism #photography

There's a Skyline trying to crawl out the back, and a Corolla trying to climb out the top. I do like some of the styling cues, but the execution is always going to be bad in crossover proportions.

My platform for prime minister is that we should cap cars at something like maximum 1500kg, maximum 100hp/ton, and everything has to have friendly looking headlights, and then LRT and Bike Lanes everywhere.

Current setup on the 1987 1.6TD; got invited to a classic watercooled VW show last weekend and had to scramble to get it clean and running properly but it was worth it for the comments on the new Centras. #Weirdcarbs #Pentax #mk2vw

A good car event doesn’t just reaffirm that the culture respects certain approaches. It makes people ask real questions about why they like the things they do and whether it is possible or worthwhile to think about those things differently.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters
All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

the Nine Inch Noize album has three tracks from Year Zero on it and that album doesn’t get the appreciation it deserves. First for being a good NIN album and second for recognizing that the George W Bush era was the start of a new, bad time in America and that the 2020s would be overtly dystopian.

In response to survey results posted on YouGov account: "One in eight men (12%) say they could win a point in a game of tennis against 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams." Link to survey at yougov.co.uk/opi/surveys/...
