medium format film 'scan' (actually a dslr photo of the negative taken with a light box) of a decorated mannequin head. photo taken from below, where the eyes seem to be looking, highlighting the damaged and cracked chin and bright red painted lips, also chipped and damaged. the nose is also chipped. despite it all, the general vibe is defiance and strength.

dbl dragon tuba

was stuck at a crosswalk when i saw it in the crowd. waited for traffic then ran like an agent in a movie whose lost their mark. how could a dbl tube disappear? i turned down a side street then spun around and it was right behind me. I let it pass and took pics

faces in a crowd
#photography #honk2025
a mask decorating the front of a modified bike about to take part in a parade photo of a mostly blurry crowd. one man in focus is dashing to the left wearing a tricorn hat and a white wig light hits a single face in an otherwise dark crowd 4 kids stand next to a large papier mâchè bird with a long bent beak. the kids have just arrived and each one is expressing a completely different emotion as they look out over the crowd.

i got confused and rushed to the parade route an hour early. as i walked home, staging and setup for the parade were starting.

so . . . instead of pictures of a parade, I've got pictures of people _preparing_ for a parade! even better, right??

honk festival in Davis square
#photography #tuba #trombone #trumpet
the opening of a very shiny tuba reflects the crowds, a building and the sky the back of a very old beat-up tuba the back of someone playing a slide trombone. the shiny horn reflects a large dark tree against a bright sky a man with a grey beard plays a trumpet in a crowd. behind him a round sign on a tuba horn reads "expandable brass band"

all regressive politics right now is literally

"i am rubber and you are glue. anything you say bounces off me and sticks to you"

which i believe is..kindergarten level wisdom?

i don't care what you believe but i do care how you talk about it. if ur using grade school logic, then ur just wrong.

incidental pic before going out
#photography

i actually take this pic whenever i change a lens before walking out the door... just to check everything's working right (i like past glass and it can be moody). but also creating an accidental incidental photo series of a lamp in different light
photo of a lamp (off) in a room between two super bright windows

Gender strength differences are quantitative rather than qualitative.

Although 👨‍🦰 usually have larger muscles than 💁, the force exerted by equal-sized muscles is the same in both genders.

Muscle tissue is essentially the same regardless of gender.

@mskellymhayes.bsky.social I did the US tour already but this post says a bit about the book—and it’s so much about how we fight, how we hold on to hope.

Hello #UK friends! I’m touring the book THE INTERMEDIARIES starting next week. It’s a deeply researched look at the way #LGBTQ and #women used science and rebel alliances to fight fascists—it offers up a reminder that we can fight back. Nazis are not inevitable—they just want you to think so.

we are not alone, toiling in silence. it only feels that way (constantly!). quality of character is defined for me by how we give respect and dignity to the elderly and sick. you are, by default, a great human. and so am i! i just wish it felt more like it...

we are also dealing with this-6 months now. 1 has died the other is in deep dementia. like i said to nurse the other day: we're doing all this and neither of them will remember, or even know that we broke our lives to help them.we do it because it is right. no rewards, no big resolution. so hard.

statue statue in situ
#photography
looking up at a sunlit statue surrounded by a canopy of shadowy leaves. the statue's right arm is raised but the right hand is missing and the statue is partially obscured by a couple of sunlit branches and their shadows. a blurry shrouded shape in the foreground on the left seems to be approaching a robed statue on a plinth in the background on the right. the statue is protecting a child behind it as it looks to the right of frame, one hand raised to stop whatever is approaching.... from the right.
