Oh-h-h yes! Joyous indeed, and palpable across all of the senses!

@thefujimon.bsky.social I'm speaking in past tense because my disabilities have mounted with age! I am retired. I still get approaches for work all of the time! But it's so very true that I just didn't see my friends & collaborators in a sexual context. If someone showed eros it was theirs. Beauty.

@thefujimon.bsky.social I wasn't one to distinguish between genders as true friends. Many of my 'women' that were girl-friends 'found' themselves wanting me to share in representation to their ideas as to whom they were as simple/elegant creatures. I wound up with lots of such friends; word spread!

@moderation.bsky.app @bsky.app Ooooh such scary photostudies done with human bodies. -Such a juvenile world of misconceptions, labeling, denial, ignorance, fear. Ya name it & label it. Gender does not immediately render sexuality, unless of course you're challenged of higher intelligence/creativity.

For the entirety of my/our various long-winded #adventures & #endeavors I fashioned myself as a #courtjester. Enjoyably so. I was so incredibly well-respected that I rejected the notion of boorish nature, even often as I hard-worked at it all. Yes, I was easily serious of context but pivoted easily!

The color file. -I keep a body set to monochromatic, but there's one set to record both color & grayscale. (In my 'film days', it was always two bodies & different films or camera backs *for med format* on hand.) But I've always favored monochrome, because I am horribly colorblind!!!

Kirk E. Mitchell (K.EdwardMitchell Photo) @kirkedwardmitchell.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

@cordobaluis.eurosky.social It's an obsession of mine. I'm fairly certain that it all began by means of my painter Mom & sitting with her files & files of paintings/watercolors/illustrations (of others/her own). She'd share w/me the matters of composition, perspective, negative/positive spaces, etc!

Kirk E. Mitchell (K.EdwardMitchell Photo) @kirkedwardmitchell.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I pulled her out of mothballs weeks ago to run up her mileage keep her moving. Registration/emissions are due so she's 'healthier' now! I've got her&Cherry on trickle battery maintainers now Anna's wrkng fr home. Took HoneyBun on her first ride ever in Bettie! Gus the newbie has already to the vet.

Oh-h-h man. @cordobaluis.eurosky.social I'm always enthralled with desert environs. I envy your presence in the Atacama!!! -Our mountains, lakes & forests are largely overcrowded. Hence, I'm greater drawn to our deserts, but they're more peopled now, too. We ARE at risk as THE overpopulated species.

-Was special. -Was recuperating w/difficulties. -I was glad just to be. "Are you still interested in a roadster?" -Was asked at dealership. -Was thinking how close to death my complications had taken me. -Waiting for such a thing was over. -Not going to live forever. -Wife immediately said, "Yes."

And now. (His body's very-very long; long neck & legs. He's got us wondering.)

We've wondered if Gus might have a sighthound somewhere in his DNA past. He's a "Std Poodle" as stated by the rescue facility where we found him, but he's certainly different. He was almost entirely neglected for his first two years, beyond being puppy-sized. Interesting behavior & body. As he was:

Truly, I do spend/have spent much-much time 'out there'. (It's even better from over ON that range, and the flats are virtually untouched in most places from the other side; finding an access trail/road is a challenge!)

But another delightful, cool thing's taking place with Gus the youngun. HE'S busily modeling himself after his eldersnMud & our BIG Great Pyrenees Aussie mix HoneyBun. He's staying close in situations that could require his help too. And he especially 'takes over' if the other two are napping, etc.

Kirk E. Mitchell (K.EdwardMitchell Photo) @kirkedwardmitchell.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I truly now wish we'd certified Mud. He's on that level with me. (I'm pret-ty severely handicapped nowadays, in recent years. It onset quickly, and had no idea I'd wind up needing such a creature, anywhere/everywhere!) It's great having his innate assistance either way. I'm greatly fortunate w/him.

Kirk E. Mitchell (K.EdwardMitchell Photo) @kirkedwardmitchell.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Awww! Hello, Lacey! On the left (with the VERY long legs) is Gus, and on the right (with the pillow) is Mud! (-or Beany-Bean.) Mud's very-very ordered, and mostly quiet & thoughtful... while Gus is chaotic and trying very hard to not always be SO young!

The things that our health 'care' subsidizes will earn a whole lotta folks their extra 🔥 🥵 🔥 places in hell, no? -On a more serious tone: the Ewww Esss Ayyy is plummeting to a most dreadful of the failed nation states. Such inequities to our imbalances of system & infrastructure are prime examples.
