I figured it was time to post my 4 favorite railroad and industrial photos that I’ve taken, as an example of the art I like to make. For more of my best work, check out my Flickr album here: www.flickr.com/gp/traing33k...

It really cannot be emphasized enough that the Holocaust was modeled after the American campaign to displace and exterminate Indigenous people. This country drew up that blueprint.
Fascism isn’t new to the US. It’s always been here. It’s built into this country‘s DNA. Bigotry is our primary export. We just quantified and qualified it under the false title of ”freedom” because that’s what the masses here want & what (yht) ppl with guns & bibles as their personality like to hear
No kidding. I remember when our local government wanted record stores to track names of everyone buying metal records. (Maybe rap too and I’ve just forgotten?)
(Why do I remember this? A good friend of mine owned a record store, and as a new librarian I had some strong opinions, and ideas.)

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

Here's a few favorites from a Western Springs photo set I just finished editting. I'm slowly catching up on my editting backlog (and more importantly, living my life again). I suggest viewing the full batch of photos on my Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/train...

An early morning tram runs south on route 3, about to cross the Danube River en route to the Petržalka district of Bratislava, Slovakia. The tram is one of 40 Škoda 30 T five-segment trams built between 2014 and 2024. The line is narrow gauge - "metre gauge" or 1000 mm between rails. Dec. 7, 2025.

I wrote much less this year than I've written in the past five, so there's not a whole lot to revisit. This piece, though, I still think is probably the best article I've ever written, even if it was a dumb professional move to write it [free to read] www.patreon.com/posts/empero...

Fuck Trump and ICE and all fascists and bigots. You have no right to tell anyone else what they can do with their body. Immigrants are good for this shithole country of ours and we should be welcoming everyone except the Nazis. Just stating the obvious because it’s important and these are dark times

One small piece of hope that I’ve noticed during this inhumane barrage of attacks on trans people from the fascists is that all the attention they’ve put on us seems to be increasing the number of people who are realizing they’re trans. I’ve seen more people come out as trans than before.
