I feel extremely awkward finding amusement in someone having a very public psychotic break.
Does Owens not have any friends who could intervene in her mental health crisis before she does something really bonkers and unrecoverable?

Looking at MPB and KEH, Pentax K-7s are going for a few bucks either side of $150. Unlike a D3xxx/D5xxx or Rebel, they're weather resistant and built like tanks, which are good features for a beginner DSLR.

It is LITERALLY the first thing I would do if I was a billionaire. I would form a company, hire all my friends and a shitload of logistics 'officers', buy a venue. Get uniforms. The full works.

This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.
