I've sat through every one of these SOTUs since high school. Between the racism, the lying, the incoherence, the time-wasting ramble, the pandering, the preening, and the performative sycophancy, I think I've had enough of this one.

I’ve been impressed super with Blue Sky’s ability to post high quality images. I feel like more people, photographers in particular, should buy into Blue Sky more. The only thing the other platforms really have to offer is a bigger user base, but not necessarily more reach or better quality posts.

If there's anything we know in DC it's a #PowerPose, with a great egret doing just that to protect its nest, at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in #Florida, Apr 2025. #BirdOfTheDay #Photography #NaturePhotography #Birds #EastCoastKin #Nikon #DSLR #LightroomClassic #ContentCredentials #PhotographersOfBluesky
