People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god

yoooo that's what's up

still doing my thing of making abstract photos out of hand tools. this is like 16 mm² of a sledgehammer surface. it's been fun learning about ultramacro photography, a pleasant distraction from the horrors

who else shambling around in a vague approximation of life ‼️

face of a framing hammer, 2026. themes are becoming clearer to me as I work on this series in spare moments, photographing found objects shaped through use. sometimes you do something because it calls to you and just hope that your brain catches up. #photography

i can't afford any more expensive hobbies so as harm reduction i pay my local game store $20/month for a thing where if you look at a Warhammer minifig too long they shoot you with a tranquilizer dart

Another test photo of matchheads. Zhongyi Mitakon 20mm + 29mm extension, f/2.0 (effective f/16), ~50 focus steps. Surprisingly good for $150. The limiting factor right now is not the lens but that it's hard to adjust my focus rail in ~25 μm increments. #macrophotography #photography
