Bad political and pub admin takes thrive here; slightly better landscape and nature photos also thrive here. May also talk about nerdy things from time to time.

Good. The NYT need to start actually applying pressure and encouraging others to apply pressure as well.

Now this is a headline.

Front page lead in NYT.

And very strong, no-BS story by @julianbarnes.bsky.social Barnes and Catie Edmondson.

Respect, to all involved. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/u...
NYT headline: As Congress Lies Town, Trump Walks All Over it. Subhed: He Seizes Power in Spending, Oversight, and National Security, While Republicans Shrug.

The continuous attempt to fling this crap at the wall of “how can we best denigrate and dehumanize the Autistic community” and its intersection with similar treatment to other communities remains a key reason why RFK Jr should be given a one way trip to Antarctica.

“Bold departure from political norms” and it is literally attempted bribery.

They literally teach that this is bad and a bribe in Journalism 101. How is this the paper of record again?

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️

toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf
The cover spread from a one page zine printout. The left (back cover) features images of a scale and gavel, with notes on First Amendment and filming rights, and the advice to “shut the fuck up.” On the right is the cover, a megaphone with the title text “PROTEST SAFELY.” Behind it are faceless protestors. The subtitle notes, “A brief collection of tips from around the internet.” A spread from one page zine printout. On the left is an illustration of a protestor with the title “What to Wear,” including a helmet, goggles, ear plugs, gloves, a mask, a backpack, and layers/long sleeves/pants. Each have additional notes explaining their use. On the right is “What to Bring,” featuring illustrations of a backpack, money, water bottles, a mask, a granola bar and bag of trail mix, a first aid kit, folded shirt and pants, and an ID, with “DIY Defense” listed underneath it showing one protestor using a luggage case, one holding a trash can lid, and one using an open umbrella as a shield. A spread from one page zine printout. On the left is “Protect Your Identity,” advising to cover up identifying features, avoiding photography of protesters, deactivating biometric phone-unlocking tools, and writing emergency contact and counsel numbers on your arm. On the right is “Be Like Water,” the motto of the 2019 Hong Kong protests, and the text “BEWARE THE BAIT” with images of a palette of bricks and a masked man holding a crowbar toward a protestor with a sign, “Psst, free crowbar?” encouraging the reader not to engage with traps and undercover agents. A spread from one page zine printout featuring the hazards of protest opposition, including tear gas, rubber bullets, and LRAD sound cannons and flash bangs. Caution tape images accompany the text explaining the dangers of each, how to flush out eyes that have been maced/etc, and how to extinguish a gas canister with a traffic cone.

2022: The Cloisters, NYC - The Cloisters is one of my favorite museums to visit. There is a terrace that provides a gorgeous view of the Hudson River. I try to visit this place whenever I get the chance, especially in the Fall!

Singer Castle had a number of interesting rooms, but out of everything this is the photo that stuck out the most to me. It would've been nice to settle into the booth and play a game of chess with this view... since we couldn't I'll have to settle for this photo instead!

Black and white photo of an old early 20th century booth in Singer Castle. In the middle of the photo is a chessboard on a rubber mat. Overhead, there is a plant that has grown wildly. Beyond the booth is the window which looks out over the 1000 Islands region.

I struggle with both time management and Imposter's Syndrome. Combined with the tens of thousands of photos I have taken over the years, I find it difficult to actually be proactive and post.

I will be posting a lot of photos on this account. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them!
A screenshot of Lightroom, listing a number of photos I have taken from 2015 onward. Current numbers range from as low as 448 to 15,633.
