Stills from a spooky night shoot with Variat Dance. 🌙💃 My new Lumix S1ii has incredible low light and handheld performance. We relied on street lights and a couple of the cheapest video LED's and it still looks amazing and really holds up in the color grade! Lens: Canon FD 24mm SSC f2.8

@keithrosson.bsky.social Coffin Moon was brutal and wonderful. And reminds me so much of the Portland I loved and still love. Also, I have to ask: was that an intentional footprints in the sand reference towards the end there?

I'm honored that "Becoming Mermaids" has been chosen to screen at the first ever Manzanita Film Festival on Sat, Oct 4th! It's part of an incredible lineup of films, and I can't think of a better venue for @kjirstentornfelt.bsky.social gorgeous aquatic animation than a festival at the coast! 📽🎞🌊

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again. So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels. #PhysicalMedia #FilmSky

during the Wendy Davis protests i entered the capitol building with several female friends. i told the guards i was carrying a concealed firearm and showed them my license. they waved me through without a search. my friends had their purses checked and their tampons confiscated.

I know it won't happen, but I think we need to start saying "import tax" instead of "tariff".

Stills straight out of the camera from a beautiful short doc I directed & filmed in Seattle last weekend. "Come Back When You're Sick" tells the story of Genetic ALS/FTD advocate Daniel Barvin & his wife Kaori, their journey with genetic ALS/FTD and struggles + triumphs starting a family via IVF. ✨

People ask me if I think protesting is "doing anything." I do, for many reasons, but at its simplest, it's doing a hell of a lot more than doing nothing, whining that "someone (else) should do something," or moaning that "there's no use, democracy is doomed." #Indivisible #50501 #FightFascism

Best Friends ☺️

Not that this even matters, but I keep reading about disappeared immigrants who broke not a single law: granted the right to stay by a judge pending asylum determination, paying taxes, and abducted while fulfilling their legal requirement to periodically report in.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

You know, Europe has lots of Democratic Socialists in their parliaments. Oh and free national healthcare.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

A new essay! 🧛🏻‍♀️ thank you #sinners for existing.

With everything LA has gone through in the last few months (and couple of years), let's celebrate the hatching of: TEN CALIFORNIA CONDORS!!!!!!!!! Congrats to the team at the Los Angeles Zoo!!!

They are taking money from the poor to hand to the rich. Reverse Robin Hood politics. We must reject the “Big Beautiful” Bullshit.

Dallas, deep red, oil-soaked, and MAGA-aligned is now flooded with anti-Trump protesters. A city once thought untouchable has joined the rebellion. The tide is turning.

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

#NoKings Protest in Centralia, WA surpassing my turnout expectations! There are so many people here surrounding George Washington park. Lots of love from people driving by. Thus far, no counter protesters. I’m proud of you, Lewis County 🥲 💖✊

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

A colourful bridge 🌈 #photography #streetphotography #dublin #ireland #stunday

I held off on what I had planned to discuss in “The Week Ahead” tonight to try and give us some baselines for understanding what is happening in Los Angeles. And in the White House. There is a lot of territory to cover here, and it’s complicated, so bear with me. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

ICE tear gassed people who were stuck in their vehicles because ICE blocked the intersection. They were not even protesters. They were just stuck there due to ICE blocking them. As the helpless car passengers watched, ICE, unprovoked, began firing gas canisters upon the cars.
