Take a selfie in front of a white wall and print it out on photo paper at a convenience store, buck-fifty. One girl took her photo sitting on the subway 010
ok city ok @krogerfoot.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I happened to notice a photo service at the mall in town and the guy there knew the US passport requirements better than I did. Sat me down and took a photo, cut it to size and gave be two copies. $5.04 100
ok city ok @krogerfoot.bsky.social · 12/10/2026No time to get a picture taken was another dumb issue. There are photo booths everywhere in Japan, even out in the sticks where I am now, they didn’t seem to allow a white background as required by the US passport office, and I didn’t want to pay nine bucks for photos I couldn’t use 100
ok city ok @krogerfoot.bsky.social · 12/10/2026My passport expired 18 months ago. Not a hugely pressing issue because if I can’t afford the renewal fee I sure as shit won’t be buying any plane tickets, but being in a foreign country with no valid passport is an uncomfortable feeling 100

White Noise was a favorite book and one of the last movies I saw (almost) in its entirety.

ok city ok @krogerfoot.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I made a lot of designs for my band long ago and I guess I would be unhappy to see someone selling them as their own in the plagiarism-is-bad social network 010
ok city ok @krogerfoot.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Apparently this is the original design.

ok city ok @krogerfoot.bsky.social · 11/10/2026It is interesting that you can take a picture of someone’s original design, transfer it to a T-shirt and sell the T-shirt as “designed by [yourself]” and be widely lauded for it on the site where people chase with pitchforks anyone accused of using what they call “the plagiarism machine” 110

ok city ok @krogerfoot.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Returning to the US from Japan it sometimes seems like kids are treated like little boot-camp soldiers in a significant number of American families, vs the norm in Japan of placid indulgence. Seems counterintuitive which society prizes public order until you think about it for a couple seconds 170
