This morning I 3D printed a camera, this afternoon I went out and shot with it! This is the terraPin Cameo, a 6x9 medium format pinhole camara. I used part of a monster can (obvs) to make the lens and a piece of developed colour film for the window #BelieveInFilm #PinholeCamera #FilmPhotography

You call yourself a transsexual because it's the diagnosis you received from a doctor who writes "biological male" in his journal notes, I call myself a transsexual because I'm in an ongoing process of altering my biological sex on a cellular level

If you ever want to re-affirm the fact "You have to live.", you need to talk to a pre-HRT trans girl. We owe it to every sister who comes after us to fight as hard as we fucking can. It's a debt we all owe them. They deserve to have an easier time than we did. They deserve the world.

In Bebelplatz there is a memorial called the Empty Library, Next to it is a plaque with a quote from Heinrich Heine: "Das war ein Vorspiel nur, dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen." ("This was but a prelude; where they burn books, they ultimately burn people")

The Empty Library in Bebelplatz. A glass enclosed art installation of empty book shelves set into the ground of the square.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
