Hey folks, Joy, who we’re running Gaza Verified with together, is looking for information on organisations in the EU and beyond that are helping writers and students with scholarships, visas, and evacuations.

Words can’t express my admiration for Joy. She’s in the crosshairs of Israel’s genocide with her own family and yet she’s still finding time to help others.

If you can help her, please do.

Thank you.

Captured with a small full frame mirrorless camera and 21mm lens.

A six second exposure created a motion study; we can see how people move around the plaza. Or perhaps they're ghosts.

Compositionally, this is mostly a study of circles and rings, with an imaginary diagonal radiating from the fountain to the man with the camera in the lower right.

It’s a real shame that I’ve never read anything in praise of Fortnite’s ongoing level design. The island is so complex and beautiful right now!!!

whatever you think fortnite is, they’ve replaced every piece of the game with something better and more interesting. while keeping the game running the whole time!

God, I’d love to read an oral history of their last 5 years. I’d call it “Shipping Theseus”
