For fun, I take pictures; for work, I create lens-based images utilizing a variety of methods designed to discover and investigate the hidden humor and drama that permeates our daily lives. I'm kidding, I take photos.

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

Roses are red Violets are blue Why can’t we wake up From this nightmare coup

Guardian "pix of the day" chose this version of the presser, like the NYT, focusing on stage right. But more than Musk as in charge, this centers Miller as majordomo. The media gaggle feels all too auxiliary: the press not a counterweight but the foil for the Oval show. (📷 Abaca/Rex/Shutterstock)

I won’t stop posting this.

A large voucher program in Texas would cost my district $27,342,631 Go to dontdefundmyschool.com to find out how your neighborhood schools would be impacted by Greg Abbott’s voucher scam #txlege

Texas Republicans keep saying vouchers are to help low income families, but just blocked an amendment that would have kept families with a $160k household income from being prioritized #txlege

Please repost. Thank you!

First good thing I've seen in what feels like forever.

Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government Imagining how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now Garrett Graff February 01, 2025 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Insults. Disinformation. Broad inclusion of far-right media, including an early question from "Real America’s Voice" reporter, the boyfriend of Marjorie Taylor Greene. No wonder Reuters sharing obstructive feedback in its photos of the day. 📷 Carlos Barria @reuters.com

This is why it’s important to add alt text. Because otherwise, your message could get lost for blind and partially sighted people. For Glaucoma Awareness Month, we’ve used a filter that demonstrates sight loss from glaucoma - however everyone's experience will be different.

Eric Barone, the creator of Stardew Valley, keeps updating his video game. And has no plans of stopping.

I would love more people to learn about this photographer. Please repost.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

sometimes a picture (or magazine cover) is all you need

I keep getting better at adding alt-text and making it part of the rhythm of my online conversations by having this button on. Writing alt-text as my default means that I never forget it and it becomes my normal. Make alt-text your normal!

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

Recently discovered this podcast and enjoyed it so much I'm making my way slowly through their back catalog. It's like a smarter, less juvenile How Did This Get Made. www.whatwentwrongpod.com

"Did you consider the people who don't like chili? The people who are vegetarians? The people without tastebuds? The people who don't know how to turn on stoves? What about all those folks?"

The LA Times photo desk, which is doing incredible work covering these brutal fires, has set up a Bluesky account that is among the newest ones we have verified. They are well worth following right now. @latimesphotos.bsky.social

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

I'm in awe of artists who can take their work beyond the print like this. Reminds me of Laura Plageman.

I'm only here because @flakphoto.news said it was even better than Threads for photographers!
