@evan I chose somewhat agree, but feel closer to strongly agree. I see this as very similar to hashtags in bio's etc. If you support a cause, you should understand what is being done in its name.
I've been called out too many times for NOT supporting a cause with people demanding an explanation, but every time I knew more about what was being done in the name of that cause than the people demanding my explanation.
If people feel strongly enough to protest, they should be informed.
@alfiegoodrich oh, turns out I had liked some of your work before after being reblogged by others, but not looked any further. Glad to have found you anyway!

Good morning from Tokyo. Had 9hrs sleep last night. Most I've had in about three weeks or more. In Yokohama late afternoon, shooting an artist friend's show. Looking forward to that.
Whatever you're up to, have a great Sunday.
Love & peace
❤️👍🌈🙏
@alfiegoodrich just discovered your work. Sensational! Hasselblad's Saul Leiter. Incredible!!!!

This is so embarrassing, but it seems that you have mistaken me for that other person on the internet who likes to argue with random people.

I'm thinking of blocking access to content on my site to anyone not running an ad blocker.
Thoughts?

How to write good.
1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.)
4. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
5. One should never generalize.
6. Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
7. Be more or less specific.
8. Sentence fragments? Eliminate.
9. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
10. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
11. Who needs rhetorical questions?
@ProjectFearlessness not just the Israel-Palestine conflict, but any conflict. There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.
@dashie the Media Explorer in Reaper is pretty good

"I discovered that the unrented office suites directly next door are a time capsule of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and we got permission from the building owners to put on an exhibition of vintage computers and telephones in the offices."

"ChatGPT is fast-tracking the commodification of the human spirit by mechanising the imagination. It renders our participation in the act of creation as valueless and unnecessary. ... [U]sing ChatGPT to write ... lyrics because it is 'faster and easier ,'is participating in this erosion of the world’s soul and the spirit of humanity itself" - Nick Cave
