@wollman per our earlier conversation, I have now moved 20% of my portfolio to cash. Quite possibly an overly conservative move that will cost me, but it feels like a reasonable time to have a pile of cash.

Understand that “declassifying the JFK files” is setting up a pretense to shut down the CIA. This is the culmination of 70 years of KGB efforts to destroy the CIA. It will be rooted in disinformation and selective disclosure that Americans already have been groomed to believe.

I'm apparently not the only one (still) using it in 2025 and vastly preferring it over more popular alternatives because of how well it works and how fast it is.

If you're looking for a direct action way to help U.S. trans people, here's a link to the GoFundMe of the group of volunteers I'm involved with. We're raising money to put directly in the hands of trans people fleeing the United States.
https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-to-leave-the-us
We've already raised over $1,800, and are currently working with three trans people who are arranging their escapes. And they've helped me.
Any money you can spare goes to things like travel costs, a safe housing network, weather-appropriate clothes (Canada's cold!), and living expenses while they job search.

Boosts appreciated.

Hello! I'm Elena Rossini, an Italian filmmaker, photographer and FOSS advocate based in Paris, France.
Pictured here: at the Louvre museum after a portrait shoot (for a book jacket's author's pic: Monica Parker, The Power of Wonder). I'm proudly wearing around my neck my 3 cameras: a #Canon 5D Mark IV, a #Fujifilm X-T3 and a #Nikon Z fc (which has my favorite lens, a Sigma 30mm f/1.4).
I'm delighted to see Pixelfed growing into such a nice photo community.

No vision, no tenacity, just the big G lighting up a huge neon sign saying, we're out of ideas. All the money and talent in the world, and we have no idea what to do with any of it. We just want make line go up.
It's so sad.
