A large format print of a marble statue of Athena wearing a helmet propped up on her brow and a breastplate under robes. She stands with her hand on a bronze spear, held like a walking staff.

Holding large prints of my own photos feels so empowering. This statue of Athena stands in a hall of statues in the Vatican Museum.

Sharing some WIP footage for a new experiment that uses photochromic pigment and a custom UV laser projector. The images fade over time, allowing for an evolving canvas.

In this context, "Disappeared" has specific implications that are distinct from simply using "abducted". It is grammatically correct as the term is used vernacularly.

The SM7B requires a lot of power and smaller USB powered interfaces (I use the Scarlett Solo) can't really provide the necessary gain, so the Cloudlifter uses the electricity from the phantom power to boost the mic's signal (like a pre-amp) while also keeping it sounding clear.

I've this same setup for a while. The Cloudlifter is so worth it.

I 100% believe the information. I just want to know how to reconnect with local organizers since my old data streams have been disrupted.

There are more protests than ever, but I’m seeing maybe 10% of what I used to.

I feel like I'm not hearing about any protests at all right now. I know a big part of this is because of collusion between social media companies, but have no idea how to work around this. Even the folks I follow who were active before in places like Portland don't seem to be talking now.

My area of research is convict leasing. In the USA, when labor is forced outside of a punishment, such as before a guilty verdict, it is called slavery. This isn’t hyperbole…

"Most rock bands started on public relief. 
If you give money to working class kids, 
a significant number of them will form 
bands, and a few of those bands will be 
amazing, and it will benefit the country 
a thousand times more than all of those 
kids would have done had they been lifting 
boxes or whatever they’re making them 
do now as welfare conditionality."

Netflix has 4748 movies right now. Subtract the "originals" nobody cares about and there's 2503.

How many of those are worth watching? The average blockbuster had twice that. @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social has 150,000.

Fuck streaming & paying forever. When I wanna see a movie, I'm getting it on disc.

Researching information for a local mural, I learned about Indiana's electric interurban passenger railway system in the early 1900s. Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania were all connected by this system. Its too bad we don't have anything like this anymore.

Since Obama administration, at least, leftists/radicals repeatedly warned that Dems pouring cash into ICE and militarized police was not just evil in its own right, but laying the groundwork for open fascism.

We were dismissed, with various degrees of vitriol, for pointing this obvious fact out.

A painting of a golden decorative guillotine standing tall on what appears to be a floating island in a very fantastical, heavenly setting. Cherub cats are floating around. There is a large, golden bowl at the base where a clowder of cats are gathered. They stare directly at the viewer with yearning to feast.
