Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

I really do need to play with my #macro lens more. Why have it if it just sits in a drawer?

Nothing like going to the dentist for the first time in years and being told you have several cavities

To the younger people that may see this, if you have dental insurance, please use it.

Putting off dental visits only compounds what a pain in the ass it is.

Purely accidental. Graduated with an accounting degree during the Great Recession (oops), got a crappy Walgreens job, became a PTCB certified pharmacy tech, then went to a hospital where I mix chemotherapy 4 days/week.

Sunshine is lacking this time of year, but at least it came out for part of this hike

Take care of your brain this autumn/winter, and remember that spring will be here soon enough

Sometimes I wonder if I should reach out to people from high school and college. Catch up, see how they're doing, see where their lives have taken them... Then I have a feeling they'll think I'm some weirdo since it's been 20ish years. Then an old neighbor adds me on FB so maybe I'm overthinking?

Most of the pines around here are almost perfectly straight, and then there's this one keeping things fun

A while ago I bought some factory reject 110 film from #lomography. Half the rolls jammed, and most weren't even labelled. I've taken to rerolling them and developing them in #caffenol which seems to work.
