I went to finish a roll of film on #WorldPhotographyDay and my F3 started misfiring toward the end of the roll. 😞 I did pet two neighborhood cats though AND I got this picture of my composing assistant, so not a complete wash of a day. 😁 #photography #catsofbluesky #photographersofbluesky

I can't tell if the focus issue is from a bad take or me bumping the camera during the scan. I did get a shutter remote so I don't have to do the, "Hold your breath and try to push the button extra carefully," during the next set of scans, so we'll soon see.

On 19 August each year, the world unites to celebrate this beautiful art on World Photography Day. Why does photography matter to you? Creativity Release? Storytelling? Remembering the past? Transforming the world? Bringing people together? #BelieveInFilm #Photography #WorldPhotographyDay

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

20 bucks and a trip to the hardware store later and we've got a MUCH more stable scan station. #photography #filmphotography #analog #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm #35mm #noai

I think we'll call this the v1 of a film scanning setup. It mostly works, but it turns out mic stands are *not* built to be photo stable and those little film holders are proooobably not actually a waste of money. #photography #filmphotography #analog #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm #fomapan #noai

FanTAStic news: The most important picture I took in the recent rolls turned out okay. #photography #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm #noai #blackandwhite #35mm #fomapan #nikonf4 #analog

OH LAWD! We got stuff! Still gotta figure out HowTF I'm going to scan these, but I'm pretty stoked that my first foray into 🎞️Caffenol dev seems to have worked. #photography #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm #noai #blackandwhite #35mm #fomapan #nikonf3 #nikonf4 #analog

Some people see all the things I try to do—writing, cooking, singing, drawing, academic research, dyeing yarn and other fibre art projects—as unrelated pursuits. I don’t. I am just a committed citizen of the Skilled World. Doing things myself—however well or badly—is my act of resistance.

Me reading the chapter on Rust ownership and borrowing: Yeah, this all seems prettystraightforward. I don't know why people are making such a big deal out of how hard it is to learn this. Me doing the first couple of Rustlings exercises on Move Semantics: Ah... #rustlang #gamedev #helpcomputer

WhyTF can I use a keymap to comment in some files, but not in #rustlang files?! This whole #LazyVim setup makes absolutely no sen- Oh, I forgot to install the TreeSitter language files for rust...
