I’m fairly sure I remember there being plenty of Mozart merch at the tiny Salzburg airport when I flew out of there twenty-odd years ago

Hey, when I clicked on that link I think it logged me in as you! You might want to repost with a non-logged in link

I one wrote a paper on Austen’s use of clothing so they’re in a good tradition for it

FRIDAY-MORNING CREW These two properly seasoned and mildly weird (i.e., cats) cats STILL don't have a forever home. You—yes, YOU—need two perfectly affectionate cats to spoil. (Please reshare wherever decent humans may be. Office, neighborhood, libraries, EVERYWHERE.)

Gloriously dim gray cat with white flash on throat, sitting on bed, looking up, trying to spot his fleeing brain cell.

You can tell they’re like, “Oh but Dolly’s a smiling southern white blonde lady with a lot of money, so she’s conservative-coded, so any progressive politics she expressed just cancels out.” They think aesthetics and values are the same. They’re think everybody’s just that shallow.

It’s so intellectually dishonest for anybody to cast Dolly Parton as apolitical. It’s so cynical. It tells me that they think everybody’s values are aesthetic, just for show.

The last game I played on the computer was Painted Kitty. Pay me massive amounts of money to be a small cat for a year? I’d be ok with that.

I think the mac and cheese looks like a cross between the corn and the potato salad, which is maybe even worse

Doesn’t the Rule of Saint Benedict call for obedience to one’s abbot in a major way?

Especially if she was lucky enough to not be pregnant before the wedding

Very fitting. I know x-files was how I figured out I was bi (right around when that Newsweek cover came out, as it happened)

And also Mrs Gardiner probably won’t tell anyone (especially wickham) that she asked.

Yes, his summation of himself at the end of the book is far more honest and accurate

farbenfroh.bsky.social @farbenfroh.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I think they love the idea of the Pope, they just want the Pope to be One of Theirs and think that any Pope that isn’t on their side is clearly deluded or something

I realize I’ve expanded it to other Austen novels

Mrs. Norris from Mansfield Park maybe

It’s because Fitzwilliam Darcy got his mother’s maiden name as his first name (Colonel Fitzwilliam’s father is the brother of both Lady Catherine d.B. and Darcy’s mother)

Or, in at least Germany and the Netherlands, the Old Catholic Church (Utrecht Union) who also do women priests and married priests and openly gay priests and blessing gay marriages (my husband switched years and years ago from the Roman Catholics to them)

farbenfroh.bsky.social @farbenfroh.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

There are some nominally Catholic bishops doing one of the things that automatically get bishops kicked out of the Catholic Church today and claiming to do so to defend the Roman Catholic Church against those heretics in the Vatican (IE every pope since Vatican II in the 60s)

Have the rules changed then? In the past it’s been 10MP for DSLRs

#ShittyCameraChallenge Back to the Nikon V1, some shots from a walk in the park

A couple in winter clothes walks down a path past a tree with a few shriveled leaves hanging on long past fall

An old bike, possibly abandoned, leans against the far side of an open metal gate on muddy ground with the remains of snowfall on it

Two trees stand together in a field silhouetted against the sun with a third smaller tree in the distance framed in the space between the first two trees’ trunks

I had a lot of fun with the ektar, and am still sad that I seem to have lost it on our return journey from Italy when I was ill.

farbenfroh.bsky.social @farbenfroh.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

I bought a Belomo Vilia on eBay in hopes of replacing my toy camera (an ektar h35) for the #ShittyCameraChallenge but it was instant eye strain for me to try to see the lines and such in the viewfinder so now it’s my husband’s toy and I’m back in search of a new shitty film camera

#ShittyCameraChallenge Here are a few photos through a car window (across the car and past a large spruce, as it happens)

A black and white photo of a young man in a hooded coat talking on the phone in front of an apartment building door

A couple of photos from when we got our xmas tree (the tree featured was someone else’s, taken while waiting for my husband to get back with the saw because we forgot to take one of with us #ShittyCameraChallenge

A black and white photo of a stand of fir trees in the background and one lone smaller tree on one side in the foreground

A black and white photo of a cut fir or spruce seemingly standing up on its own in the middle of a path and a person in winter clothes gesturing at it

#ShittyCameraChallenge I got a number of shots I liked in Regensburg so I have a bit of catching up to do. The duo in the second photo were called “All Acoustic” and were playing at a Christmas market we wandered by. This is still with the LX7. I hope to take the N1 V1 out this weekend.

Hey #ShittyCameraChallenge, here are a couple more photos from Sunday in Regensburg with the LX7. I’m actually getting along with the non-tilt screen and no viewfinder better than I expected.

A model cruise ship and a jumble of sticks and netting in a store window. The photo is in black and white.

A loose knot of bright neon in a dark store window. The photo is in black and white

I took my Lumix LX7 with me to Regensburg yesterday, so I’ll be posting some those photos for the next few days, probably. #ShittyCameraChallenge #ArtAdventCalendar

Here are some more photos from Freising Diocesan Museum on the N1 V1 #ShittyCameraChallenge #ArtAdventCalendar

A black and white photo of the view through an interior archway across a large three story room with galleries around it and an enormous skylight for a ceiling

The view down a small cobble-stone street down which two men are separately walking. There are buildings directly on the left side of the street but on the right side there is a small canal between the street and the buildings. The photo is in black and white

If anyone’s wondering about the camera and if it’s truly shitty, I figure between the slow lens, the tiny (1”) sensor, the 10mpx, the fixed screen, and the fact that you have to go down into the menus to change the shooting mode, it qualifies.

farbenfroh.bsky.social @farbenfroh.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

For both the #ArtAdventCalendar and the #ShittyCameraChallenge, here are two of the first photos I’ve taken with my new-old Nikon 1 V1 camera and a 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 lens

A black and white view from an upper-story window looking down at a chapel and beyond it, the rooftops of Freising

A view from an upper-story window looking out over a courtyard at the rooftops of Freising. The photo is in black and white.

I’m almost ready for the #ShittyCameraChallenge! Just need to figure out where my H35 wound up after our trip in October, since it already has black and white film loaded in it… But I have two digital cameras ready and set up! One black and one white, as luck would have it 😂

@shittychallenge.bsky.social is there going to be another challenge this December/January?

Oh yes even better! I didn’t think of that one
