Q: In the last Trump shutdown, he made sure SNAP benefits went out. Why do you think he shouldn't do that this time?
MIKE JOHNSON: The president has done exactly what he did in the first term, and that is bend over backward to make sure we mitigate the harm. The money doesn't exist to do it.

When cultural heritage institutions share items online, they are often accompanied by biased, outdated, or offensive narratives.
During a webinar in 2023, we convened experts to discuss their approaches to reparative metadata practices. Discussion participants navigated the complicated balance between preserving legacy terminology as a historical record and facilitating a more respectful discovery experience for users today ⚖️.

#Google's #AndroidDeveloperVerification makes #Android worse than iOS because Android users are Google's product. Users attention is sold to advertisers. #Apple's business model is selling the device and integrated services, which means its users are its customers (although Apple still plays with selling their users too).
Android currently allows users to opt out of being sold by Google. Once they lock down the ecosystem, that will become less and less possible.
This is and has no longer been true for a while now.
AppStore is full of ads. OS full of pseudo- anonymized (this can't be a thing) tracking. And next up is a plan to add ads to maps apps. Oh well 🙄

Every morning, the wind circles my tent like a restless ghost, tearing me from...
Every morning, the wind circles my tent like a restless ghost, tearing me from sleep. It does not whisper comfort — it screams a harsh truth: I am still here. Not by choice, but because the occupation drove us from our homes, turning them into rubble and leaving me with nothing but this cold tent for refuge.My body is here, but my soul never left the place that once held my laughter, my silence, my peace. I miss the warmth of my home — the sunlight spilling through familiar windows, and the small joys I once took for granted: quiet mornings, fleeting smiles, the fragile moments that made life whole.
Each gust of wind reminds me of what we lost, and each night the cold carves its way into my bones, as if searching for the warmth it once knew. Yet even among the ruins of our lives, our will endures.
They took everything from us, yet our memories remain — fragments of life that still warm our hearts, and the stubborn hope we cling to until life returns once more.

It’s good to keep super cheap film around (even if you don’t like it - I don’t care for this film) for testing cameras. I think I’ll also play around with seeing if I can shoot this at 400, just because. I’m pretty confident in the shutter on this, it all works smoothly so it will mainly be testing for light leaks and rangefinder focus.
