More silencing of black and trans journalists.
Such BS.
I hope these committed and dedicated political journalists find a way to feed their families despite the blatant censorship.

Will be curious to see what Conde does with the Teen Vogue archive. Keeping it up means they still want ad revenue from the clicks on existing content. Taking it down means this really was about destroying and erasing political voices that make NYC's upper crust uncomfy.

Why this picture for this week? The strong shadow lines (of course) and the juxtaposition of the ground with the decaying plants and human debris.

If you’re worried about hurting artists by boycotting Spotify—don’t. They pay musicians 0.0003 per stream (on the high end) and support fascists. Go see bands play live, buy their merch, collect physical media. That’s how you support artists and tell knee-bending oligarch fascists to eat shit.

My wife raided my toy box to get a photo of "ants eye view" for a photo contest, verifying my theory that every creative photographer will inevitably shoot action figures.
This is why I wrote a book about it! Available on Amazon.
Thus completes this shameless self promotion.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

🇳🇱 Tonight, the Dutch and their center-left party, Democrats 66, have voted against racism and hate, and knocked the far-right, ill-named Party for Freedom out of power.
🇳🇱 This was a blow to fascism, a nod to democracy, and some much-needed light in the darkness ...
🇳🇱 Congrats!

What a fun way to showcase images taken for Round 45 of @scavengerhunt.photography ! I only took 7 of the 9 images, so I did not qualify for this "Grid" image. Some followed the idea "a grid of images submitted", others not so much. Let's hear it for creative freedoms!
