damn it’s cool that there’s a trans-owned film distribution company that’s championing the sort of true underground queer cinema that others would never touch

This kind of thing makes me SO HAPPY

This speaks to what I try to evoke in my landscape photos, but even more powerfully to my moment to moment visual experience as light, clouds, fog and so forth shift and change.

Who 1 am: A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K. LeGuin Where I'm from: Winter's Bone, by Daniel Woodrell. When I'm from: The Ice Storm, by Rick Moody. Where I currently reside: Salmon and Acorns Feed Our People, by Kari Marie Norgaard. Who I am: If you had to chose one book that would let people know what's essential about you, what would you choose? Where I'm from: One book that captures the cultural histories and sense of place or places that shaped you (including what you struggled with or against). When I'm from: One book that captures the historical and cultural moment when you became aware of your context's possibilities, limitations, and contradictions. Where I currently reside: One book that captures the hopes and histories of where you currently find yourself.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping. Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
