Hi I’m Shane F King, I am a boudoir photographer and shibari artist.
I believe sensuality is something to celebrate, and that art can change how you see yourself. My work is for women who want to empower themselves.
Visit my site to see more work, read my essays, or book a session. 💐

From a recent #shibari #boudoir session. I love how ephemeral #instax #polaroid pictures are. One of a kind, analog. This was a beautiful session, working on the pictures for my blog at shanefking.com

“The value of art is not how much it costs and how little effort it requires. It’s how much would you risk to be in its presence.”

Wow the exact thing genAI creators intended, for their users to become psychologically dependent and chemically addicted to their product, is happening, who could have seen this coming

ChatGPT "power users," or those who use it the most, are becoming dependent upon — or even addicted to — the chatbot.

Photography is inherently about humanity & equality - it's hard to witness the world's challenges & ignore harms being done by the right, billionaires & mega corps.

Yet most photographers & photography orgs are still embracing social media from the least ethical platforms & providers.

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

I appreciate that this is completely stupid, but…

I’m 100 followers away from the 10k milestone on IG and would appreciate a little signal boost if you you wouldn’t mind.

maybe i’ll share something fun to celebrate

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

None of the big papers, for all their resources, has been covering the (incredibly stupid and vile) chaos that Musk and his strike-force of libertarian Beavises nearly as well as Wired. It's an extremely cheap subscription (and a very good print product as well) and I recommend it.

an absolutely essential preserver of truth. Truth as in testimony. Forget your truth/post truth/no such thing as truth bullshit, that’s a cheese/wine date for the officers on the hill.

Truth as is document, preservation & ultimately a rebuttal to the lies of academia & politics

Writing is not dead, and it will never die. It may get harder to find your flow as we doomscroll more (and more), but as soon as you feel it again. It's so damn powerful, and it will remind you that it's not going ANYWHERE and no AI or algorithm will ever defeat a good old-fashioned flow state.
