#FotoVorschlag “Zahlen: Fünf” / Numbers: Five This little red car caught my eye — part of an ad campaign for the Fugazi streetwear store on 55 Canal Street. In a city of huge cars, seeing a small one, even as a gimmick, is a relief. #photography #urbanphotography #streetphotography #car #nyc

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

Taking a break from sharing Max memories this Caturday. For some counterprogramming, here’s Brea, whom I met on my visit to Idaho as she was watching over her sheep. As you can see, she loves coming over to greet people but also takes her job very seriously. #photography #dogsofbluesky #dogs #sheep

Not enough people are paying attention to a major target for Brendan Carr and the Trump admin’s crackdown on free speech: social media. It’s under bipartisan attack, even though it’s a crucial forum for reaching the public and fighting back. spitfirenews.com/p/is-anyone-...

“A still more glorious dawn awaits — not a sunrise, but a galaxy-rise; a morning filled with four hundred billion suns: the rising of the Milky Way.” — Carl Sagan, “Cosmos” #photography #astrophotography #milkyway #carlsagan #cosmos

Evening falls. #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #nightphotography #evening #sky #stars

My first Milky Way shot with a DSLR. As always, this view is a solace to me. There are worlds and galaxies far beyond our reach, and they’ll endure long past our nonsense. #photography #astrophotography #milkyway

Another gift of the Idaho skies: I was able to take my first (very crappy) photos of Jupiter and two of its moons. JUPITER, people! How do astrophotographers not just jump for joy when they capture these images? (Or maybe they do.) #photography #astrophotography #jupiter

One of the joys of this Idaho trip was being able to set up a beast of a telescope on my in-laws’ deck. Here’s the moon, over a day past full — my clearest shot to date. I can’t wait to return and gaze out further, in dark, clear skies. #photography #astrophotography #moon #shotoniphone #Celestron

NEW WRITING: "We are living through the worst time of my lifetime, and astrophotography has helped me remember that, as my mom Margaret Prescod once reminded me, the universe is bigger than the bad things that are happening to us." 🔭 As promised, with a prettier image of Andromeda! 🎉

Every time we visit Idaho we return to the Clearwater River, and I have to wade out into the middle to take this shot. Somehow I feel centered here, standing still in the moving water, embraced by trees and sky. A moment to carry with me. #photography #landscape #nature #naturephotography #river

Who needs sunlight? This was the moon last week, an hour before sunrise, shining brilliantly enough to light up the Idaho landscape and cast crisp shadows. #photography #nightphotography #landscape #moon #moonlight #shadow #shadows #lightandshadow

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

#FotoVorschlag “Kitschiges” / kitschy I’ve never been inside Paul’s Da Burger Joint on Second Ave in NYC, but the oversized model of stacked burgers outside (as well as Pablito the delivery doll) makes me smile whenever I pass by. #photography #streetphotography #nyc #kitschy

The first clear night of the trip. These visits always remind me of how much I miss the stars. #photography #nightphotography #landscape #clouds #silhouette #stars

On our first couple of days in Idaho we had to stay indoors because of unhealthy levels of wildfire smoke, though I briefly ventured out to capture these red sunsets. Thankfully the air cleared up for the rest of our visit. #photography #sunset

PSA: If you haven’t yet, it may be a good idea to get your COVID shot this week. Reports suggest that CDC may further restrict COVID vaccine access to people aged 75 and up, unless you have an condition. The committee that advises the CDC on vaccines meets this Thursday.
