<p>Still seeking and learning. Dabbling in photography and astrophotography, all images mine except where noted. No AI, ever. May also post about the current US hellscape as well as music, sci-fi and other lit, pop culture, and other obsessions. No to patriarchy, white supremacy, imperialism, colonialism; yes to kindness, empathy, love, and justice. He/him. Black Lives Matter. Trans Rights are Human Rights. Science is Real. Abolish ICE. Free Palestine. Just trying to be decent in a world gone mad.</p>

So it looks like another artist whose work I admired, at least in that one movie that I’m most familiar with, has turned out to be a monster. Why does this keep happening? It’s bad enough when openly terrible people — asshole tech bros, bigoted politicians — are also revealed to be groomers and abusers. But when it’s artists whose work touches our souls and inspires us to be kinder and braver and more deeply feeling, it’s a special kind of betrayal. 1/4 https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments...

The sky over Brooklyn as I was coming home last night, with smoke from the Canadian wildfires. They’re taking the sky from us: the big polluters driving climate chaos, as well as the tech bros sending up satellites to crowd out the stars. Time to get mad and take it back. #photography #nightphotography #streetphotography #wildfires #climatechange #climatechaos #brooklyn #nyc

#FotoVorschlag “Nutzfahrzeuge” (Commercial or utility vehicles) Mere days after the monster blizzard that hit us last February, much of the city was clear of snow. These snowplows were probably just returning to their station, but in my eyes it could have been a hero’s parade.😊 #photography #streetphotography #snowplows #skyscrapers #urbanlandscape #cityscenes #nyc

Saturn rising, 2. A short video of Saturn rising over Brooklyn early this morning. The bright dot trailing it is Titan, Saturn’s largest moon (larger than our moon and even Mercury). #astrophotography #video #planet #saturn #titan

My first #Doorsday photo in a while. Just a plain door, but I liked how it was framed by this striking blossom-lined tree (Eastern Redbud, I think). #photography #doors #door #tree #easternredbud #flowers #spring #springvibes

“Touri-Hotspot” / Tourist hotspot I’m challenging myself to submit at least one cat photo for every #FotoVorschlag theme this week. Today’s topic seemed tricky, but I found a fitting image with a little Patience. #fotovorschlag #photography #streetphotography #sculpture #library #libraries #pride #nypl #nyc

#FotoVorschlag “Touri-Hotspot” / Tourist hotspot A closer look. I took this picture many years ago after climbing the statue’s interior spiral staircase of over 160 narrow steps. I’m not entirely sure I can make the same climb today, so I’m glad I have this photo to remember it by. #photography #statueofliberty #sculpture #statue #closeup #nyc

#MeerMittwoch #FotoVorschlag “Touri-Hotspot” / Tourist hotspot Boracay Island, one of the tourist magnet beaches of the Philippines. I’d never gone while I was growing up there, and only experienced it as a visitor decades later. I’m still working through the mess of complicated feelings that this trip brought up for me, but being on this beautiful beach was a moment of quiet magic. #photography #seawednesday #sea #seaside #beach #seascape #travel #philippines #boracay
