Our wings are not tired

If there's a body to be buried, I'm here to help.

Always happy to help bury bodies. These days some more than others.

But really I am only here to recommend this photography book to Scola. One of my gigs these days is editing a ridiculously pretentious and jargon-y art journal but the book review of Camera Geologica actually made it sound interesting. The chapters are organized by mined materials but apparently there's a substantial section on the history of Eastman Kodak.

I'm not exactly sure where I stand, as it were, if sexuality is a spectrum, only not quite where I, say, left college at. When I read that people are worried that my cousin's son "might feel outnumbered" by his three sisters, I feel more queer(even if that might bug a Kinsey 1 feminist too) But in a truly queer writing space with pronouns I've never seen before, sometimes I think "Well, maybe not." But that just means that I'm cisgendered and possibly not all that hip...it doesn't mean I couldn't find the right girl(And most disabled people I know who have partners did that, pretty much.) Not getting to experiment only postpones the questions; it doesn't end them. ND, even if we arranged that, right here, right now? Still smarter than that Signal bullshit.

I would never, ever do that, though. Because I'm not Hegseth-level mess.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

a substantial section on the history of Eastman Kodak.

Back in the day, Kodak was a seriously creepy company, because of how ridiculously hypercompetent they were when they set their sights on something. They had to repeatedly be smacked down by government trustbusters.

If you have a little spare time, you might want to check out this amazing 1938 Kodak industrial film, which is creepy, and beautiful, and obviously influenced by Man With a Movie Camera.

Congratulations to Emmett!

I’m at a two hour softball practice with ltc because TCG works late on Tuesdays. I’m thinking of getting myself this [link] for the games this season.

erika, not in any way bothered, in fact, the opposite. I may not have anything that feels useful to say, is what. Which is kind of how I'm feeling about most things these days truthfully.

Believe it or not, I didn't say anything before because I didn't know what kind of responses to look for. Dumber than white drug dealers, for serious,
