I take pictures 📸 and live with two cats 🐈 🐈 and another human in #Portland, OR. 🌲 I love #photography, mostly with #fujifilm cameras.

A mentor once said to me, after I spent three paragraphs overexplaining, "if they didn't think you were full of shit before, they will now. Get this down to two sentences."

Google, take note, bro.

@jbaty I'm afraid what that quote evokes in me is a sense that maybe our stringent efforts are at odds with our fundamental humanity; not a sense that Things 4 needs to do something different, or that Prot needs to surrender so we can all align around org-roam and enter paradise.

Years ago I was on my ebike and someone drafted me all the way from OMSI to Springwater/Flavel : Just me in my work clothes trying to get home, her in her full riding kit and road bike, sticking so close I could hear her breathing. Then she rolled up alongside as I turned off to say “maybe someday you'll get a real bike."

I truly appreciate her to this day for that, because any "guilt" I had evaporated in a bright flash of her own assholism, perma-discrediting her ilk.

I've also been called a "cheater." Or rather, "cheater!" has been yelled at the back of my head. But my drafter was the first person who ever commented to me, and so I haven't taken the yelling seriously: I got to the boss-level asshole first.

“‘Furiosa replaces Max in Fury Road’ is so deeply stupid not because it simply ignores the facts but because it does so in pursuit of flagrantly missing the (brilliant and essential) political message of an unusually thoughtful movie.”

“The whole point of the movie is that feminist victory does not come from the replacement of men or the marginalization of men but from a rejection of dictatorship and an embrace of democracy, horizontal leadership, and communal values.”

I like what the black mist filter does to the lights. Used Reggie Ballesteros' Ricoh GR monochrome recipe as a preset.

@mihobu they're having a moment. I'm using the 1/4 Tiffen. I understand the Moment Cineblooms do less to preserve contrast, if that's your thing.

📖 Finished my re-read of Shõgun 44 years after my first one. Takeaways: Hulu Mariko is more faithful to Book Mariko and so much better than '80s Mariko. Hulu Blackthorne is a disservice to Book Blackthorne, but not in the same cheesy way '80s Blackthorne was. Hulu Yabu is my favorite character across all three versions.

Hulu Blackthorne: They lose some of his shrewdness. and it's sort of presentist of them. You can be a fish out of water/ignorant and still be shrewd/smart. It's one way that the Hulu version feels like a reactive correction to the ‘80s adaptation, vs. a reconsideration of the source material.

‘80s Blackthorne, I guess, is plenty "smart" but not in the way Book Blackthorne is. He's a more generic male fantasy smart, not a "dude knows how to circumnavigate the globe and can speak four languages when he washes up on shore to begin with” smart. (English, Portuguese, Dutch, Latin, btw).

Alison laughed out loud at his suave delivery of “konnichi wa” to a group of passing women.
