twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

an abandoned orphanage

#blackandwhite #31daysofhalloween #urbex #abandoned #photography

An open door lets a beam of light into a dark classroom. A pillar stands in the center. The paint on the walls is peeling off. There are some thin legged tables in the back. The floor is covered in dirt. In the back a sliver of light on the edge of boarded up window.

An abandoned classroom with a pillar and a table in the center. A large bookshelf is on its side on the ground. There are four windows in the room three of which are boarded up. The leftmost one has only a few wood panels left and lets light into the room. Long dead fluorescent lights hang down from the ceiling.

A broken water main with frozen water leading out of it to the ice covered floor.

A large abandoned brick building with its windows boarded up or entirely missing. Snow covers the slanted roof of the building. It is long and rectangular jutting in from the right of the image. Thick snow covers the ground and a trail of footprints leads from the center of the image off toward the building in the distance. Branches are strewn on top of the snow.

leaning back

#blueskyartshow #relax #photography #blackandwhite #glitch

a black and white photo of a statue of a nude woman leaning back on a wooden platform. The statue has its head leaning back and its knees up with arms and feet laying flat. It is much larger than a person. The ground around it is cleared with only dirt and leaves. In the background is a line of trees.

a (almost) black and white photo with a cooling filter applied. The image has also been modified in audacity to give it a grainy and distorted look. A minimal amount of color bleeds through. The image depicts a statue of a woman in part of a movement of a backstroke. The statue is in a pond surrounded by reeds.

alley in old san juan

#blueskyartshow #relax #photography

A narrow alley with rows of tables to the right. The buildings surrounding the alley are brightly colored lime green, teal, and orange. One of the tables to the right has a bright green umbrella below which a man with glasses and a white shirt sits reading. Decorative lights cross back and forth between the buildings. A blue sky with large white clouds can be seen above.

#blackandwhite #photography #abandoned #roadtrip

black and white image of a bending road between two tall hills covered in trees with no leaves. its raining. to the right off the shoulder of the road are power poles and lines. at the edge of the road is a guardrail.

an empty store at a mall, its entrance has trees on each side reaching up to the roof of the building. the sign says niagara emporium. the parking lot of empty and the asphalt damaged. i think this used to be an am&a's store before.

The only thing I have to say about this guy is when I first moved to the US I genuinely thought he was a made up character for TV for a really long time and then I discovered he was not and that was when I first began to understand America

The Athletic @theathletic.com · 21d

Stephen A. Smith is pushing $40M a year in earnings, sources tell The Athletic. And ultimately, he wants as big a voice in politics as he has in sports.

On Wednesday, Smith will formally launch his bid as a political pundit, if not a Presidential candidate.

Idk fam when every experienced organizer on this site is telling you to just show up to protests instead of signing up for them, it's probably good advice to follow.

#photography #abandoned #urbex

a metal conveyor belt extending out of an exposed hole in the wall. The brick wall it sticks out of is covered in graffiti. To the right snow has blown in. Outside, a smoke stack can be seen in the distance.

A fenced in room inside a larger brick room with a riveted steel cylinder. Light is coming in through the fencing illuminating the graffiti on the cylinder. The floor is covered in dirt and shadow.

A large room that looks burned, black charring is on most of the walls. To the right are steel guardrails. Some cables hang off of them.
