Me: I’ve got some confidence and I’m actually in a good mood. Life:

Trump is what happens when a bunch of slave owners set up a government to protect their wealth by establishing elite rule through the Senate, Electoral College, and no one fixing it for 250 years

"What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all." My daughter Robyn was killed, in part because a cab driver was blocking the painted bike lane! About three week later, my daughter Rachel was t-boned by the driver of a car. Her bike was distroyed. Rachel was in the painted bike lane!

Been sitting at work all night thinking about this and I’ve got “fuck it, let’s do it” confidence right now

I need to reevaluate what I do creatively again. Think I’m forcing myself to try and fit into the things I “should be doing” instead of things that bring me joy.

Maybe the state of things has me a little cynical, but the rainbow ending in an empty Walmart shopping cart it a bit too on the nose

Just want to throw out that Rise Against and Alkaline Trio not having a Chicago date because they’re playing Riot Fest is a crock of shit

I am unable to see the tall ships this weekend, so I will be glued to @revrevvinev.bsky.social’s feed

Woke up for a brief bit last night, but got something like 16 hours of sleep.

I’ve decided that today is my mental breakdown couch rot day. Can you schedule your mental breakdowns? Consider me dead until further notice

Note to self; there is no 7:35 bus anymore, despite what any RTA schedule say.

How much has overnights broken my brain? I just had the thought they should have skylights in the roof to let in some natural light…

Always have to remind myself to let others now I have prints for sale, so this is one of those posts. scottcolesbyjr.darkroom.com

You can always count on the RTA bus that runs constantly 5 minutes late to be running 3 minutes early the time you really count on it being behind.

A niche I absolutely needed

They didn't die while serving in the military, but they died protecting our freedoms from those who would destroy them, nonetheless. Remembering these heroes on this Memorial Day.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

I was gonna go in and get some overtime tonight, but I took a nap and now my sleep pattern (much as I have one) is all out of whack.

Where I am mentally for the next month and a half

You can be damn sure if IT doesn’t happen first, he’s planning on never leaving

A few more pics from Big in the 90s and That’s So Fetch at Tipitina’s

Need to add a z-axis. Downward spirals really only work properly in three dimensions

Some shots from Big in the 90s and That’s So Fetch at Tipitina’s last night.

The frustration I have felt today trying to get things to work confirms this decision

I think I’m going film only in the future. Shooting digital last night for the first time in months and it’s just not as fun. It was even more annoying to have to spend an hour importing compared to 6 hours developing and scanning, and that doesn’t make sense.

Guess what I’m doing tonight

I’m really trying to avoid the recency bias of saying Godzilla Minus One, but it’s really hard to not pick it.

3 different cameras were announced yesterday and today and everyone is claiming each is the one camera to get and this is why I’ve gone back to film

Me leaving the shift meeting last night after they said their priority in workplace culture is a positive attitude…

Have a yearly shift meeting at work today which they always provide food for the crew. Now, it doesn’t bother me that there’s never a real vegan option. Even if there was, I’d still have to question because of how many people get confused when I tell them eggs and milk aren’t vegan.

Taking a walk around City Park with an 80 year old camera

Politics should be boring, not a series of endless media frenzies.

Music opinion reminders: Hold the Line & Rosanna > Africa Vindicated > Screaming Infidelities & Hands Down Helena > Welcome to the Black Parade & I’m Not Ok A Praise Chorus > The Middle

I'm not angry about the light leaks. 80 year old toy camera, they're to be expected. This is gonna be a lot of fun to take to Disney

At the least, there are images!

Testing today

I never fell for two girls one cup and I’m not falling for this either

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

The urge to once again delete everything and go all Vivian Maier for the next twenty years

3 thoughts while looking for a new job; 1. Should probably lock this page down 2. Do I really want to work somewhere that locking this page down would be needed 3. If I locked it down, how to I promote my photography

I’ve let my hold lapse five or six times, but finally got it from the library @thewaroncars.bsky.social. And since it’s supposed to rain all weekend, plenty of time to sit and read it.

This is why I can’t just have an idea. Thinking of taking a day out of my birthday trip and going to Kennedy Space Center to see the Atlantis. That’s a great idea on its own, but now I have to talk myself out of buying this to photograph the Atlantis. Is it real? Probably not, it come on.

Considering the state of things, I should absolutely be searching for jobs I’m grossly under qualified for, right?

Listening to Electric Callboy at work and just confirming that I should have taken the weekend off and went to Chicago with @nolafredo.bsky.social
