These Trump years are going to dangerously exhausting.

One Headlight.

Shooting the Milky Way and having composed this image, a vehicle emerged from the fog-laden valley below. Initially annoyed, I was to delete this file. But this image has become my favourite from that night's shoot.

Take-away, don't delete files in camera.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

I had 21k on Election Day and over 380k now. This is now definitely my primary social media for consumption and posting.
Folks, Bluesky is turning into a powerhouse. I looked away and have nearly 100,000 followers. It has replaced Twitter for me as a "what's going on?" platform. It's not even December.
