Reluctant beneficiary of the white patriarchy. Doing my best to end it. I often hold views at odds with the majority. Sometimes wrong. Willing to learn and have my ignorance reduced. If you come at me, please be armed with facts and logic. Too old for bs.

Hey all, some lightweight shots with a heavyweight rig. All shots Nikon Z8, Z 600mm f/4 TC. Sorry about the loss of image quality while posting.

I got a chance to shoot Puffins on my two week trip to Iceland. This was with a Nikon Z8 & Z 600mm f4 TC S in pretty much gale force winds and spitting rain.

Is it bothering anyone else that the signal story is focusing on the careless behavior that led to the public knowing about this rather than the fact that the entire chat is blatantly illegal and part of the project 2025 playbook? Signal allows them to evade FOIA and government records act.

Got outside today and visited Great Falls Park, MD. Thank you to our National Parks personnel and to the wonderful kayakers having fun in the water. Nikon Z8 w/ Z 600mm S f4 TC

Am uploading some more photos from the last bit of time. Partly to understand what Bluesky does to images. At the moment, it appears to limit the wide dimension to 2000 pixels. This is the first I am uploading already reduced to that size.

So, the image quality isn't perfect, but not that bad. The size corresponds to just about 79% on the export function from NX Studio for this image. I may try to experiment to find out if there are image sizes that BS won't modify.

Today, the rule of law, and being equal under law, died. It has come to pass that due to SCOTUS ruling so, even guilty verdicts have no meaning for Trump due to his having managed to collect enough votes from dupes, racists and misogynists to be able to take office next week. RIP

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1877: U.S. Cavalry attack the camp of Crazy Horse and his followers at Tongue River in Montana. Although the Native Americans escaped, it would be Crazy Horse’s last battle before leading his people to the Red Cloud Reservation. /1

That monument is getting there! I remember visiting as a Boy Scout over 40 years ago, and there was only an artists rendition, almost no carving done. I believe its like 2-3x the size of Rushmore - ?

Thank you to everyone participating in today’s Starter Pack. I had planned it to come out next week but I found out after you complete it,it’s public. I woke up this morning and it was already being posted 😀 I apologize to everyone in the Starter Pack because I did a terrible job promoting it.

Here’s the deal - I am not an overly people person if I don’t know you. Makes no difference if you’re whotw, black, brown, whatever. Not straight, gay, male, female. What I care about is, are you human, empathetic, while intelligent, and not apathetic. That’s it. That’s what I value. Peace to all.

I think we have only just begun to appreciate Jimmy Carter. The way he approached life and public service are ideals that should inform us. He was a great and good person. Enjoy your final rest. Thank you, President Carter.

After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." This explains why Costco is an industry leader!

Hey folks, has anyone else noticed a huge uptick in obvious bot follows, or are there really that many hot, single, mothers, who have a need to post nothing but lifestyle pics I’d be hard pressed to afford?

One of the most delightful things about joining the blue butterfly app is that I keep finding new, and honestly quite delightful people to follow. Another is that I don’t feel a need to respond to trolls. I just block. If you’re delightful, let me know and I’ll follow you. And thanks for being here.

This story from the Idaho Capital Sun seems significant: "Pete Hegseth, president-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of Defense, has close ties to an Idaho-based Christian nationalist church that aims to turn America into a theocracy."

Well folks, sitting in the airport lounge about to spend a week on vacation in Germany and Switzerland. Please try and clean up the mess by the time I get back. And NO parties. -dad

We're going to take over this place the same way we took over threads: by building up all of you First, hit the like button, reply with #NoDemUnder1k, and most importantly, hit the REPOST button. Then follow each other back. The easiest way to do so is to follow everyone who reposts. Here's how:

Whelp, looks like Trump is going to have to find a marginally more qualified and less disgusting AG. That’s less important than the fact that the Senate dodged the test of whether they would cave to Trump’s pressure. Next up will be Hegseth the completely unqualified rapist.
