I really hope I'm able to attend more protests in the future, for longer. This is what Americans do when America is not being what it should be.

I was so encouraged by all the people who showed up downriver for the protest. Protest is a vital piece of our American identity AND reminders are apparently needed that we ditched monarchs a long time ago.

I had maybe 20 minutes to take a walk through the tail end of the #nokings protest in Wyandotte this past weekend. I took a few shots where I could of signs or people I found interesting.

Shout out to @downriverunited734.bsky.social for the organization and handling of the protest!

Meet Brandon. Youngest of the Jobin clan, boy with the fullest cheeks in the universe, and nigh-poster-child for PURA Syndrome. 

He wasn't feeling too hot the day of our session together, but we made it through. Thanks, buddy!

These are just a hair old, but I didn't want to post them in public until big man's mom and dad got to hold them first. My nephew is legit a ham and ALWAYS down to clown lol. I literally had about 30 seconds to get these before his attention was toast; just narrowly succeeded :) Love this kid!

Not sure what your mic setup is (XLR vs. USB) and what this supports (looks like just XLR, I think the usbs might be the PC connection?).

I dunno, I'm not a sound engineer lol

Might be overkill, but is this something you're looking for?

Jan 15th, Biden warns of oligarchy in the US.

Jan 15th, the term oligarchy shoots up in Google searches.

I have ideas on what that signifies lol

This is the way

Beyonce is making this entire family angry just by existing in this halftime show and I'm here for it lol

I think we got a "hazard" increase in our Xmas gift from my dad this year because of our reaction to his voting record this year...

If you don't remember the last time you had your laptop fans cleaned, then I think the time to clean your laptop fans is now.

Children are dying in schools, home-ownership is a pipedream, WW3 is around the corner, etc, etc.

But this. This is the important thing...

Is this also going fix our healthcare? Stop our children and teachers from being murdered in schools? Is the eagle going to save the middle class? How are they at genocide prevention?

Is the eagle in the room with you right now, Amy?

Remember that time we had an eclipse and we all got the same photo of that eclipse? :p

Playing Marvel Rivals with friends reminds me of the fun we had when Overwatch originally launched and we just had fun playing and learning the game. Such good times :)

Pushing to prod on a Friday night. Like for "heck yeah", repost for "oh. oh, no."

Oh that's coming to a code base near you SOON!

Mike Duggan is going to run for MI governor, split the blue vote, and screw Michigan over to the reds.

Happy Holidays!

I think I have to retrain myself with Bluesky. I should be posting everything here.

For example, one of my instas only sees my flowers and random photography. Another insta only sees my people photography / client work. My twitter has never really been about posting real stuff, all shares and reactions. Facebook just family / friend things.

I'm still figuring out what I want to post on Bluesky. Something about my brain always tells me that I have to pick a focus with social and that's it, but like, that's not the complete picture of me.

This isn't terrifying... 👀

Busting out the Instagram classics for Bluesky.

I only have one fox photography, saving it for a rainy day. #iykyk (I'm assuming everyone else's Discover feed is 40% fox photography too, right?)

Super interesting!

Why does this feel so oddly true...

Haha, same

I'm a picky eater. Pretend to be athletic, but I'm way too sedentary. Aim to be juuuuust slightly better than average at everything I do (or I won't do it). I like all the Star Wars and Marvel shows (even the bad ones), and can I say I'm an anime fan if the only anime I watch is Dragonball?

I also have controversial political opinions such as "people should make medical decisions with their doctors" and "genocide is bad". I'm more a fan of blue than red, but neither are great. I'd like ranked choice voting and less money in elections because our current system has a lock on dualism.
