More block list discourse! (I wouldn’t be on here at all without the single one I use. Having to face the full brunt of *all that* on the regular? Choose my own cognitohazard adventure? Yeah, no.)

Charity season at work means that the office is absolutely *covered* in ai posters for the various events. It used to be clip/smart art. Single PowerPoint slide printed out.

For all that it means, Ottawa Ottawa'ed about as well as Ottawa tends to Ottawa for yesterday's election. At least where my preferences were concerned, they were reflected in the results of the ward and school board elections I participated in.

“participated” = “voted”, of course. Now if turnout could at least tickle 50% or something, that might be nice. 36%, regardless of how uninspiring you might have found the candidates, isn’t super great.

I get it in some ways: it’s hard to pledge to lift the spirits when (a) the city’s culture of “nah” looms over everything; and (b) even when it’s not looming, the province will just bigfoot anything it doesn’t like anyway. It’s one of the worst parts of our constitutional framework. At least IMO.

Another On This Day™️ because I spent yesterday evening ironing 🧺 and playing with my blog's CSS instead of writing a story from a more recent roll. F80 | AF 50/1.8 D | Delta 400 | DD-X | 2024/10/27 #BelieveInFilm

I voted a few weeks ago during the advance polls, but yay-yay municipal election day for those who haven’t yet! I had a certain candidate show up at my door yesterday. They likely would have been surprised to see me at the door had they knocked instead of attaching a hanger.

I’m chatty on here today becuase it’s a thinky-work day at work today. Basically internal marketing for bureaucrats. Less Kermit at the keyboard (though my keyboard is a very satisfying experience) and more “how the heck can I say this???” followed by a little pecking, a backspace, pecking, backs…

Results from the first time using the Minolta Hi-Matic AF2. I got lucky again with a film camera I bought online. :) 📷 #Minolta Hi-Matic AF2 🎞️ #Kodak Ultramax 400 (expired 2019) #believeinfilm #filmphotography #analogphotography #filmisnotdead #35mm #filmisalive #analog #autumn #fall #saxony

I still don’t like that I have an Instagram account, but gosh if it hasn’t given me exactly what I was hoping for from it. I’d love to delete it, but I’d begin missing out on more or less everything of interest happening in town again. I still wish people would find somewhere else to be.

I always seem to go back-and-forth with using web fonts (having a preference for the simplicity of web *safe* fonts and no downloads), but while I like Courier, I've had an infatuation with JuliaMono since I learned about it a year or two ago and can't help myself. juliamono.netlify.app

Otherwise, I think I spent a bit of the energy I'd normally use for hobbies on writing out feelings. I get many of them and don't want to bother Kathleen too much (volumewise) and am a bit selective maintaining a relationship with a therapist, so I also blogged at lottiejoy.ca/blog.

It's also what I use in terminal, text editor (CotEditor) and my markdown editor (uFocus). Love mono fonts. 💜 Of course, if you block web fonts (as some prefer to), then it's plain old Courier first (I don't like Courier New - too thin), then whatever default mono you have installed.

An On This Day™️, since I didn't have the steam to prepare a photo blog post yesterday. Just a walk Kathleen and I went on in 2023 🍂 Rebel G | 28-80 3.5-5.6 IV | T-Max P3200 | Lab Dev & Scan | 2023/10/26 #BelieveInFilm

While waiting for the clouds to part below Elk Knob this summer I encouraged a woman toward the viewpoint. She said they had just moved from Texas. Bless her heart she was wobbly before she even got to the railing. #landscapephotography #naturephotography #filmphotography #believeinfilm

I don't think I *really* have two rolls in me today, but I would love to see where the rest of my freezer slide is, where its integrity is concerned. The Velvia 50 expired in 2021 and while it has been frozen since fresh, I have my doubts. The Provia 100F in 2024 and frozen too, but I trust it.

A Late Start on a Sunday Morning We got a bit of a later start last Sunday morning, so I missed my weekly phone call with my mom. I think today's is going to be a longer one, with two weeks to catch up on! (I 💜 my Mom and like talking to her, so it will be nice.) #BelieveInFilm

I must have 100 photos of Line A on the Prague Metro but what else to do while waiting for a train here? Every station has its own colour and this is golden Hradčanská. #ArchForma #transportation

You can tell things are getting worse here in Transland because the usual annoying pick-mes are getting louder, more annoying, and have got out their step-stools.

Today's for Provia. It's not the last sunny day, but we're getting a bit more uncertain after today. Aside from another instalment of Vegans Who Snack, I haven't decided where the day will take me since it's a rare solo day. Kathleen has a thrifting date with a friend 💜

A Drawn Out Saturday Adventure 🩸☀️ Our adventure last Saturday had a little detour, with Kathleen giving up a pint of her especially valuable blood before we had delicious vegan banh mi, bought books, and enjoyed the sunny weather. #BelieveInFilm

I am not a blood donor. Not greedy, but I have a very weak constitution and am *guaranteed* to pass out. No really. I can't even look when getting blood drawn.

🍁 Autumn Polaroid Week 2026 Day 6 We had a glorious sunset here a couple of weeks ago. The next morning that I discovered this aurora-like artefact. No idea what caused it but it’s a perfect piece of instant film magic. Polaroid Landcamera250 & Fuji 100-c #believeinfilm #polaroidweek #womensart

A little blast from the past: the first roll I ever put through the Konica Pearl was Lomo Potsdam that went fat... ...and the roll of Potsdam I finished today did too. While I'm sure that whatever damage would be done is done, but it's still living in this handy canister until I develop.
