Breathing is nice

That said we are still on google fi, and will be for the foreseeable future. We like it, have been on it since it was invite only in our state.

A long list of user hostile design decisions and constantly reminding me that they are first and foremost an ad company. My wife moved to iOS recently and my kid has always been iOS. Since I don’t like it anymore, it was an easy decision.

I’ve been asked a couple times IRL this week.

I’m on iPhone for the first time ever

Google managed to push me away. Me, a person who’s had android since day one and who is a member of pixel superfans.

48 hour iPhone notes:

1) How can autocorrect be worse than google?

2) omg notification management on iOS is horrific

Otherwise 👍

Am I more optimistic about this #IdahoFire season with the recent snow?

No.

I’m actually excited to setup a home darkroom. I did a ton of dark room work in high school, haven’t since. A friend’s family owned the photo lab in Salmon so it was quick and cheap for me to develop everything I shot, didn’t need my own darkroom.

The AI-ification of digital photography workflows is pushing me back to film.

Got a coast trip coming up next week and I’m taking two medium format cameras and a small retirement fund worth of Portra, Tri-X, Ektar and Cinestill film.

Need to setup a home darkroom too…

Today is the first day since flu and pneumonia that I've felt like I'm starting to feel human again. I'm like half way there I think. Didn't need an inhaler or cough meds near as much today. Still hurts to cough, but doesn't hurt to breathe so there's that.

Towards Iran

There are a LOT of military assets headed east right now....

Day 5 of pneumonia. I am doing much better but still feel like I got hit by a train.

Just when I thought I was over the flu...

I apparently have post-influenza pneumonia and/or bronchitis.

Fuck.

Breathing is underrated.

Lawmakers say immigration policy isn't about race. Is that the case on the ground? #idleg

This is fucking wild. Drawing special attention to how entertained Rep. Wheeler is throughout, giggling and grinning sometimes, barely restrained at others.

CW: racism throughout and mention of rape towards the end when Pettinger is pretending to take any of this seriously for just a moment.

Meridian Tesla Hitler, David Pettinger, wore brownface and spoke to laughing and grinning Idaho representatives in the Idaho statehouse yesterday.

Black background with a faded picture of the House chamber empty seats. Words in white lettering over the top of it says "The ACLU of Idaho condemns the disrespectful actions from lawmakers in the House Business Committee today. During a public hearing on an anti-immigrant bill, a man in brownface testified using a racist mockery of Latines in Idaho. Lawmakers allowed him to testify, and some even laughed along with him. No matter your politics, this is racist and absolutely unacceptable behavior from our elected officials."

Black background with a faded picture of the House chamber empty seats. Words in white lettering over the top of it says "Our elected officials should be leading public forums with civility and respect, not hate. We will be sharing a full statement addressing this deplorable incident tomorrow. But make no mistake. We demand respect for all Latine Idahoans, especially from people in positions of authority. Especially when Latines live in fear of being terrorized because of their skin or accent."

Unacceptable. Point blank, period.

From my inquiries it was David Pettinger, which is on brand for him. Image in the replies.

I'm from Chattanooga. This person is from the upper Midwest. hypothetically.

I grew up in the 80s, taking elementary school field trips several times a year to major battlefields, plantations, museums, etc.
I grew up around so many people with a Civil War fetish.

Part of why I can't ignore it.

The day it was taken, hypothetically.

Not a reenactment, just on vacation in the south.

Hypothetically....

Hypothetical Question:

Let's say, hypothetically, that your father-in-law posts a picture to a family chat of himself at a Civil War museum, dressed in the full army uniform of the side that was fighting for the right to own and torture other humans.

hypothecially...

How would you respond?
