A couple portraits of swimmers taken outside of Sutro's at the intake pool, Part of an amazing gift I received yesterday of approximately 1000 glass plate negatives. It will take a while to get these onto SFMemory.org but I wanted to share them with you. #sfmemory #sfhistory

Hootsuite signing a contract with ICE in this environment is profoundly shameful.

They know very well their social media monitoring tools will be misused to attempt to punish ICE's targets and citizen protestors.

We deleted our account with them, others should too!

Please don't think that you can stop a Nazi by pointing out hypocrisy or by pointing out that they are lying.

They know. It is a feature, not a bug.

When a fascist lies to you, they are displaying power. "I know I am lying. You know I am lying. What the fuck are you going to do about it."

When a fascist lies to other fascists, they are displaying loyalty. "I know I am lying. You know I am lying. We do this because it is how we show allegiance to the cause."

In this way, fascism is inherently an empty ideology. It stands for nothing. It believes in nothing. It can therefore lie about everything.

Except one thing: power.

Fascism MUST lie. It MUST deceive. It MUST play to baser beliefs like racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and xenophobia, because it has literally nothing of value to offer.

They know this. We know this. That is why they lie.

T TERRENCE O'BRIEN Here’s Tim Cook hanging out with accused rapist Brett Ratner at the Melania screening.When you’re cool with doing a fascism, what’s a few sexual misconduct accusations? Ratner, who directed Melania, faced multiple allegations of sexual assault and harassment, which led Warner Bros. to cut ties. But a little sexual misconduct (and ties to Epstein) never seemed to bother Melania. And it doesn’t seem to bother Tim Cook either, who posed for this photo on Ratner’s Instagram Stories.

@mmm_kay @PhoenixSerenity There are already Gazas in the US, maybe not post October 7th Gaza but Gazas non the less. The so called reservations are already open air concentration camps for those who refuse to conform, be colonized, and give up their land. Where the colonizer can freely and completely without legal consequence murder maim and rape anyone they so please. This violence will escalate, it will not abate, do not forget the natives, stand by them.

My sainted adopted Grandma was a childless cripple woman, small and withered in the eyes of the world. One summer a big feral hog started attacking her farm, tearing things up every night. Pigs are dangerous! But she was unflapped. She got her a quart of dry corn and had a man leave a trailer. Every day she'd put a little corn out, closer and closer to the rig until one day the hog walked right in to get it and she slammed the gate.

This story is about true strength. Fight any way you can!

Now, it's just and it comes with a bunch of CSS to make it do whatever you want, like this circular demo!

A square image with a red border contains two oval portraits above a floral line with two red roses. The left portrait shows a person with short hair, glasses, a beard, and a V - neck top; the right portrait shows a person with curly hair and a strapless top. Below the portraits, a black line has a red rose on the left and right ends. The text reads: "PRETTI" (gray), "GOOD" (dark gray), "REASON FOR A" (black), "NATIONAL STRIKE" (red)

Another photo from me, but a moody one this time!

Taken at a local ruined church/graveyard one evening, with a stormy sky.
Originally taken in colour, but better in mono - especially with the subject!
f16, 1/2s to get the depth of field

A black and white photo of an old ruined church, with gravestones in the foreground, some of which are tilted over. The sky behind the church looks dark and forbidding and there are leafless tree branches in the top of the image.

We (leftists-types) all go through that phase
where be believe that religion is the root of all evil, and if everyone would just be atheists, all our problems will disappear.

The sooner you get out of that phase, the better. Yes, the system can use religion for nefarious ends. But it's not like a single driving force of oppression. And we certainly shouldn't shun theists who see the system for what it is.

This is a really fun PeerTube video by @harrybo@gamerstavern.online about rally driving with a 3-wheeled car, highly recommend you watch:

➡️ https://video.gamerstavern.online/w/su1VTRDyum6gpqSffq2VmG

I accidentally inspired the video by commenting on one of his more conventional four-wheeled rally videos. He crashed and one of the wheels came off, so I joked he should try driving with three wheels, and he made the video above 😆

If you don't know Harrybo, he mainly does driving game videos but the emphasis is on humour and self-mockery rather than toxic car culture. They're great fun, you can subscribe to his PeerTube at:
