Photobombed by more #aphids when taking photos of #flowers. There are going to be so many of them in #Portland this year.

I love how people are whinging about being in an economic downturn now, while every piece of our economy is still massively over leveraged and poised for an actual catastrophic collapse.

I can confirm that people love leaving notes on pre-2000s #Toyota pickups asking if they are for sale, probably because is impossible to find a truck from the last 25 years that is not giant.

It is so hard to take photos of #ants! They are so small and move so fast!
Anyway, these are the tiny #Portland residents who have just moved into our basement.

Lovely to see politicians finally standing up to people who think they have the right to judge others on how they alter their bodies and what they decide to wear, but did we have to start by publicly dunking on 95 year old ladies who don't like tattoos?

The #NikonCoolPix5000 was one of the first #DigitalCameras I've had and with one of the lowest resolutions (a maximum of 2560 × 1920 pixels), but looking back, it truly did a superb job with light, color, and textures. Probably better than any camera I've used since.
Look at how much detail is visible both in the light and dark sections of this photo.

I took macro photos of a bunch of neat plant parts I found yesterday, but I can't post them all, so maybe we can try an interactive exercise?
Tell me which of these objects you'd like to see close-up, and I will post a very detailed photo of it!

Fine, I will eat handfuls of delicious cookies, but just to fight the fascism.

#AOC is such a brilliant combination of rhetorical skill and deeply held convictions.

Belated realized what all the companies stuffing #AI tools into their random products reminded me of.
