Her prejudices are starting to gel: blondes=gays=trans people=young people=people from California=people (not her) who are fucked up.

This is an old photo, probably around 2015 (although I wouldn't be surprised if it's still there).

It does bloom during the day. In fact, I just took a few photos this morning of the first blooms. Here's one.

Nothing says ally like using "they" for someone she assumes is trans, bc I'm pretty sure the preferred prononoun would be "she," since trans women are, you know, *women.* Unless Cait is suddenly also nonbinary. Also, everyone knows that being hounded by gays is the best way to live.

You have broken the algo, friend. I have to admit to no small amount of pride that a photographer has finally drawn the attention of the infamous Bluesky bullies. Who says we can't mix it up with the reply guys? We're not just pretty picture people. Maybe someone will put us all on a block list 😉

...means to create photographic effects, but those are not the tools I have at my disposal. I just don't think a photograph is any less a photograph just because it has been edited digitally as opposed to manipulated by chemical processes or ISO settings or fancy lenses. I do understand that...

Thank you. I have had this conversation many times with professional and amateur photographers. I am 100% opposed to generative AI to create images, but I do not place digital editing tools in that category. That said, I have a lot of respect for artists who use more traditional...

...effects that can sometimes be achieved by experimenting with different settings and filters; I consider that part of the creative process. I am not a professional photographer, and I have taken great pains not to present myself as such. I don't sell or exhibit my photos (other than...

I assure you it is a photo I took. Yes, it is the same house; it is in a very popular Venetian neighborhood for photos. But it's obvious the details in my photo are different than those in the stock photo. I am very upfront in my bio that I digitally edit my photos, and I like the "painterly"...

It is a constant source of irritation that people cannot or will not separate criticism of Israel and/or the ADL from actual antisemitism. So these radical Zionists and Muslim haters are free to spew their venom, resting easy in the safe space that Trump and his Evangelicals have created for them.

I just love ferris wheel pics, and I don't have a single one in my portfolio. That needs to change.
