(However, I like your idea, that seems like a cool way to make pictures)

I mean this in the most positive way… I don’t believe you until you can show us how you did it

The image is lovely, but easily faked. I’ve been taking photographs with weird things for years and I still can’t get my head around this.

Show and tell and you have my adoration.

I’ll wait

Edit:

"> For sure.

It’s a canon Lide 30 scanner at its core. You have to remove the light source (a tiny RGB LED) and a pinhole array from the front of the sensor. Then I used a dremel to widen the slit the sensor looks through, to deal with some pretty severe vignetting. The optical assembly is made from foam board, gaffers tape and an acrylic lens liberated from a regular magnifying glass. I use a software called VueScan to perform the actual scan."

Yeah. That’s pretty cool. Have the adoration you crafty fox.

I get it. We can’t buy houses, we can’t afford groceries.

Admittedly my parents couldn’t afford a house and we often had to skip on groceries too.

But as a kid of the 80s, the thing that gets me is how these memes seem to ignore inflation entirely.

Yes those numbers are lower but so were wages.

And of course we can can talk about real terms wage stagnation, but poverty is timeless and the 80s were an awful and unaffordable time for a lot of people.

But yeah. Sure.

And yet he’ll still get votes.

Whilst I’ve been waiting for this day for ages, it gives me no pleasure to realise it means very little.

Genuinely, if it helps you feel better, you are always welcome to share your photos with me and tell me about them.

Surely Call of Out drops in Fall?

Get yourself into photography. You don’t need anything expensive, if you have a phone camera, that will do.

Document the strange and interesting things in your environment. The people, the architecture.

It gets you out of the house a mission per day. It gives you a goal.

Got through the whole article and they don’t say, “Fall of Duty” once.

What even is journalism these days?!?

Well, yeah, but we are going to need a couple of monocles.

Hey, maybe the next leap will be the leap home?

Love how this has gone from “researcher at x university” to “tip from a friend of mine” in less than 48 hours.

That. That sounds like it, coupled with frustration and feeling a bit overwhelmed.

It is cool to be exhausted after work if it fullfills you and you enjoy it, but most folk need the gaps between to be themselves.

Just so you know, this isn’t just an ADHD thing.

Most folk experience it and it’s one of the main causes of burnout.

That said, it’s always worth checking that you are getting enough vitamin d and that your thyroid is working right.

Yes, do this if you want your work to have the same feel as every other writer who runs their work through an llm.

The cup on the desk… Uh… Yeah that means something different in Scotland.

Bucky has one purpose. It’s the thoroughbred of not-spirits.

Best served warm and straight from the bottle to the back of the throat.

My experience with certain chemicals suggests this is true.

My niece was stopped in the corridor at school by a teacher who shouted “are you deaf or something?”

My niece removed her hearing aids, slowly.

I agree. I like the idea of the loch ness monster.

Problem is though, this stuff all seems to blob together and you start a conversation about the Baghdad battery and all of a sudden someone is making some pretty antisemitic theories about the world.
