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.

Exactly

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

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.

100% what Jen said!

Though also...

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,

Looks like a student was arrested on campus today.

What I know: there were some obvious rage-baiters there earlier today, with signs like "Women Are Property" and "Muslims Are Terrorists" and "The Jews Killed Jesus." When I went by, and stopped to see what was going on, there was a crowd of students around them (they were up on a sort of porch in front of a campus building), but most of the students were standing well back and watching with "WTF?" looks on their faces. One or two went up on the porch thing to heckle them, but those students looked like they knew what they were doing -- not directly engaging, just standing about ten feet away and shouting their own stuff to the crowd. There were several cops watching the whole scene, but not doing anything.

Several hours later, there's news that a student was arrested. People are saying it's because he was carrying a Palestinian flag -- I wasn't there, so I don't know everything that happened. There's a video of the arrest, and it's in that same location, and one of the sign-carrying guys (not carrying his sign, but definitely the same guy) is standing just a few feet away. People are organizing a protest now at the jail where the student is being held. I don't know what's going on, but this is getting tense.
