Late 30s. Photographer, writer, composer. Woe-betide-thee prophet of the present day. He/him. Toronto. These images are portents of doom: missives from the hidden world within our world. Feel shame and terror, please. But boost them if you like them.

comes anyway.

Toronto. March 17th, 2025.
One can only resist the inevitable for as long as it is prepared to allow.

A photo of art model Carly Lundy by photographer Rab Townsend. The model is a nude woman with dark, wet hair that she is pulling back behind her head with both arms. Her right arm is bent forward, gripping the hair on the top of her head while her left hand rests on the back of her head. She is posed against a deep blue background. Her body is oriented toward the left of frame, as she bends forward slightly, flexing her abdomen. Her skin is oiled and cast in vivid magenta and cyan light, creating bright highlights. Her eyes are downcast and her lips are slightly parted, with an expression of melancholy and discomfort. The image suggests a struggle with an inevitable pain for which the model feels unprepared.

I absolutely agree that the NDP has moved too far toward the centre, just as the LPC has moved further right. I just meant that i saw her platform and it looked like the NDP's. Do I wish the NDP's was better? Very much.

When i heard her platform, i thought “wrong party” but i suspect she’s one of those who thinks she’d never get elected if she officially switched—and she may be right.

A photo of art model Astrid Kallsen by photographer Rab Townsend. The model is a woman with dark red hair, posing against a purple background. She is wearing a sheer white dress, through which her nipples are visible. She has draped the back of the dress over her head like a veil. Her gaze is directly into the camera, with a cold expression. Her hands are held over her chest, and her right index finger is stretched toward her collarbone. Her skin is cast in magenta and blue light. The mood of the image is ominous, as if the model is the vengeful ghost of a drowned bride. A photo of art model Astrid Kallsen by photographer Rab Townsend. The model is a woman with dark red hair that is wet and clinging to her face and neck. She is posing against a purple background. She is wearing a sheer white dress, through which her nipples are visible. She has let the dress fall open, exposing her shoulders and clavicle. Her left arm is dropped to her side, while her right crosses her torso, with fingers gripping her left elbow. She is hunched forward somewhat, but her head is tilted back with closed eyes and parted lips. Her skin is cast in magenta and blue light. The mood of the image is ominous, as if the model is the vengeful ghost of a drowned bride.

I was really surprised when I joined that there weren't an endless supply of fart jokes on the timeline. I attempted to fill the void, but I think eventually, every user gets the toots out of their system.

our requirement.

Toronto. February 20th, 2025.
It is a duty so great that we cannot but plead to be unburdened, but the demand was ours.

A photo of art model Daria Sells by photographer Rab Townsend. The model is a nude woman with long and wavy red hair. Her hair is caught in motion, blown by a heavy wind. She is posed against a smooth gradient background of turquoise. Her skin is cast in shades of magenta, cyan, and blue, casting shadows and highlights. Her hands are resting on her thighs, with her left arm straight, and her right arm bent outward somewhat. Her gaze is turned to the left of frame, with an expression of distress, anguish, or pleading. Her skin is covered in goosebumps. The mood of the image suggests that the model is facing an expectation, the fulfillment of which will cause her great suffering, and she is pleading, despite knowing she must comply.

I think, because a lot of the people eager to move right now are artists, they tend to go straight for Mastodon•ART, discover that it has very strict policies, and find themselves feeling alienated.

People are always put off of mastodon because of its culture of aggressive moderation, but don't realize that they can change that culture by joining it en masse.

Yes, my last post where an appeal was successful was 18 days ago. And those were after another long period of unsuccessful appeals. I’m hoping they’re just understaffed and not unofficially changing policy.

I’d say “it’s bluesky, only more complicated”, but really: bluesky is mastodon, only less complicated and more susceptible to corporate and american political interests.

I know people get shy, especially when interacting with NSFW, but if you are going through a person's account and like more than 10 posts in the row, you should at least leave one (1) nice lil comment on a post

Actually, now I'm starting to think bluesky staff has created bots to say this stuff, to discourage people from leaving.

A lot of “my shit doesn’t stink” talk from bluesky users, announcing they will never ever use mastodon, and like… mastodon is probably fine without you.

As someone who used to take a lot of selfies and self portraits, and it just kinda stopped, i think aging has alienated me from doing it anymore.

it really bothers me that "eldritch" means what it means, because to me, it looks and sounds like some old dude's name. Like, Aldridge. It's basically Aldridge.

It occurs to me that “doing a poo” vs “having a poo” betray a lot about how we feel about the experience of a poo.

singularity of suffering.

Toronto. January 28th, 2025.
We discover how little we differ when we suffer together.

A photo of art model Jay Ban by photographer Rab Townsend. The model is a nude woman with long dark hair that is damp and stringy. She is posed against a smooth gradient background of dark to light blue. Her skin is cast in shades of orange, purple, and cyan. Her damp hair is tumbling down her back and to the side of her face, with strands obscuring her left eye. Her body is turned somewhat to the left of frame, but her gaze is directed into the camera. She is hunched forward somewhat, with her left arm drooping and her hand resting on her thigh. Her right arm is bent at her waist, across her torso, with her index finger and thumb resting on her left forearm. The veins in both hands are prominent. Her expression is somewhat curious, and perhaps numbed, with piercing blue eyes and barely parted lips. The image suggests a certain comfort in discomfort, and the implication that this is or will be a shared experience.

I know I have the privilege of never having to leave the house, but laptops just seem like the dumbest way to own a computer.

to be fair, if you *can* find one specific to your interests, you're probably in better shape than you would be if you didn't, but the community on that instance might still be shit.

in my opinion, it's a trap to think joining an instance specific to your tastes is going to give you a good time. Better off to join any instance, follow hashtags you care about, and find people to follow from that. I spent years on a photography instance and barely interacted with anyone on it.

It’s a guilty pleasure, but it wouldn’t be guilty if everyone knew it was secretly pretty good.
