I titled this photograph “we are all essential”, captured outside the Pike Place market Starbucks in Seattle, WA in 2014. #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #travelphotography #candidportrait #streetphotography #music #cosophotography #dslrphotography

One very important thing to highlight about the #MassShooter in Colorado:

He was charged with six felonies in 2021 for kidnapping his mother and threatening everyone with homemade bombs, but of course, the case was dropped for the white cis-het male. He was still able to obtain an AR-15 and was STILL able to carry out his fantasies.

Something I really appreciate about #CoSo so far is that it feels like it’s assumed people are earnest and speaking in good faith

The weight I’m realising I felt on other platforms, just knowing you’re going to be argued with not for the benefit of exploration of ideas, but just to intentionally anger and be cruel to people.

No one here seem to be looking to be /edgy/.

It’s an incredible change of pace

Good night all, not going to wait for responses, but just want to say what a great crowd exists in this here place of positivity (and occasional cursing).
Sleep well… and good morning Europe!

Two unarmed individuals at the Q Nightclub did more to save lives than hundreds of armed cops at Uvalde.

I notice that as I age, I'm finding simple pleasures in life. Today, when I removed the usually tough to take off safety seal from the ketchup bottle, it came off fully intact, in ONE easy pull. No leftover under-layer of clear plastic remaining to messily deal with. I am beside myself.
