Oh, look, a camera that was marketed specifically to professionals. In characteristic and proper black, of course.

I, too, have an employee discount and a situationship with my credit card
At MIL’s for Xmas today.
“Did you bring your camera?”
“…yes.”
I have a Charmera, OM-1, Zf, and Pen F with me.
I would not have all these but for employee purchase discounts and a situationship with my credit card…
Anyway I’m getting photos of the family pupper, a Golden named Heidi.

Got back to watching Transformers: EarthSpark, and I still like the somehow-even-more-woke Transformers.

Here's some unedited photos from the Sony CDMavica CD500 (yes, it's called that because it literally burns the images on a CD-RW to save them).
Spot yours truly in one of the photos!

The "if you're cold they're cold" trend reminds me, it's never not a good time for August Derleth's short story about snow vampires but right now is a great time for it:

OK OK, trying not to mope much on here today as it is a joyous day for many, but my contribution to Christmas dialog is that family is fundamentally about who supports you, and they don't have to share genetics to do that. If you need to, you can choose family and form those same strong bonds.

I should be bigger than this but, I'm still just really stuck on that weirdo who wanted to call me a whiny sod because... I don't think cameras need to be black to be professional. Like, buddy, unless your work requires you to be clandestine, the silver cameras take exactly the same pictures?

Alright, alright. I'm up. This should be the last hard day of the year for me (not that there are many left, anyway.) Being sick oddly helps, gives me something else to burn mental energy over.

Since the void is currently on his vapors, an old photo from when he still tipped the scales more towards cute than chaos.

Yanno I grew up with ‘arguing like cats and dogs’ as a descriptor of bitter, hated animosity but having both it’s just more a… confused philosophical disagreement about the nature of the world?

Fun (?) fact: the 'director's notes' in the binder in this photo are printouts of Baroness Elsa Von Freytag-Lorighoven's hand-written poetry. The outfit the central woman on stage is wearing was chosen from the catalog of a local designer with Elsa's energy, based on similarity to outfits she wore.

"I didn't understand that then, but I do now" is maybe becoming the defining sentiment of my middle age.
... Except that whole 'becoming more conservative' thing. That was just bad folk justifying why they stopped trying to be good.

Every time I try and think about everything that happened this year my brain kinda segfaults because it was objectively so much and yet it feels like nothing happened at all and every year I understand dada a little more and wish I did a little less
