A lackadaisical young spoony. Rebelling against his god and ready to eat sausage. Must make a definite effort to partake of a vegetable. Photographer. Bookworm. Masshole, you’d like him.

How many times did the right try to dismiss trans people with “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears?”

Asking for no particular reason.

The “Roman Salute” doesn’t exist. It originated in a few French paintings. It was first popularized by an American socialist (Francis Bellamy) as a flag salute.

But even Americans who had been using the salute for 40 years KNEW ENOUGH TO STOP USING IT WHEN THE FUCKING NAZIS CO-OPTED IT.

Another 2024 fav. This little ghost crab. Could have cropped more but I like it as an environmental portrait.

Laid on my stomach FOREVER waiting for the perfect moment, and was absolutely pitted by tiny rocks. Worth it.

100% my favorite photo of 2024.

Aurora Borealis at Ponyhenge in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Oct 10, 2024. I got there just after sunset.

Ponyhenge is a field full of old rocking horses that keeps growing.

The Aurora was jaw-dropping. I cried.

Reflecting on a magical white Christmas Eve morning in Manhattan, 2024

I got pics of all the Christmas trees around Times Square AND THEN THE SNOW CAME. It was miserable. Went around again, and when I got back to the Rockefeller tree it had turned to lazy snow globe magic. Pure Christmas joy.

Well hi, Bluesky. Will this be my new primary spot with after the platform formerly known as Twitter, and Meta sending itself down the sh*tter? We’ll see.

Getting it out of the way, I’m super woke. Anticapitslist. Anti-genocide. Atheist. I enjoy Taylor Swift and Rings of Power. Cancelable. Hi.
