This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

This is why you always check your RIFAs before powering on.

92 years ago today the world’s only research institute about trans people was destroyed by the Nazis.

All transphobia is inherently fascist.

Best thing about modern social media: it’s not mutual.

If you see this, I invite you to post a picture (from whatever device you are using) without explanation.

The political elite have sent a clear message here in Victoria today. They care more about the Myer Christmas Window than the struggles of real people. You cannot bring attention to injustice, because the window is tradition and tradition is what keeps the halls of power in their hands.

A night scene of the Yarra River with six fountains lit with multicoloured lights in a straight line close to the riverbank. In the centre of them is an un-illuminated white dome
