listen if you wanted Kodachrome 64 it was imperative they had that reactor. it's not directly related but it was a strategic deterrent for Fujifilm.

not a new observation by any means but god DAMN it’s like they make ADHD medication as difficult as possible for people with ADHD to get.

Our photographer Alex Kormann captured the exact moment the presses stopped for the last time in Minneapolis, ending a 158 history of locally printed newspapers.

sent this photo to my dad and he said “that could almost be me” and he ain’t wrong. the resemblance is uncanny, and there is very much a reason for me being Like This.

Women only care about one thing. A beautifully cooked ham they dont have to share. They can eat the whole thing and they dont have to share with anyone. 6lbs of ham just for themself.

So this is how I find out Eames was hot
