Professional labor photographer. Unions for all. Birds. Whales. Cats. Hydration. Maybe a dash of democratic socialism. Not necessarily in that order. Too much optimism for the current moment.

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.
Our enemies are cowards and we're going to defeat them.
ok this made me laugh
Here, I grew this triceratops houseplant for just such a possibility. 🌱🪴

The next recession is going to make Occupy look like the Senate Democratic caucus.
This is insane. This is *literally* doing the same mechanics of the housing crisis and 2008 recession but to create debt to finance construction of AI data centers

Do you want to see cute orb like birds hopping across the beach or would you rather continue to consume the misery and sadness? 🪶
When I posted this many folks said this likely isn't an injury, it's just something they do to stay warm, and OMG today over 100 sanderlings flew in right next to me and almost all of them were hopping on one foot. See thread for more 😭🪶

This is why I kinda want to get press credentials for the World Cup in LA. It's going to be a total shit show and the coverage will mostly gloss over it. We need someone in the shit.
Trump has threatened to bomb or invade 7 countries with a shot to play in the 2026 World Cup. He *has* bombed one (Iran) and said he'd deny them visas. He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.
FIFA head says 'you will see' at World Cup draw if Trump receives new peace prize
FIFA has announced the creation of a peace prize, which it plans to award for the first time at the World Cup draw on Dec. 5 in Washington.

I love shorebirds. I regularly risk hurting myself AND damaging thousands of dollars in gear for them, but shorebirds IN A LAKE? not even worth my shutter.
If we're being honest, I enjoy your pointing out that shorebirds are a clear downgrade from ducks, but passable.

The cave caucus COULD say "we'll get people fed and paid through the holidays, give the American people the gift of the Epstein files, and take up the fight in the new year" but they're saying "we had a generational electoral victory and nothing we were doing was working so we quit"

Part of me wants to sleep in and just vibe off yesterdays sunrise the other part of me realizes I won't get any outside time if I don't do it at 6:30am because the sun hides at 5pm.
WOW top 5 sunrise of 2025 and I don't even know what the other 4 are!
I saw this small pond yesterday and there were 500 or so white faced ibis' foraging, I knew I had to get back this morning.
Most of the ibis were gone but there was a glorious haze across the nearby fields. I N C R E D I B L E 🪶

That's the end of Milky Way Season 2025 for this guy.
Earlier tonight somewhere in California.
2x sky shots and a couple foregrounds merged.
Rough ending, but a glorious season. By far my best.
2026 we're planning the early season much tighter.
We're coming for your panoramas, galaxy.

Apparently, it is negotiable!
Health care isn’t negotiable.
We need to both reopen the government and work together to protect access to affordable health care by extending the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.
