My next door neighbor's house just got listed for sale and we are having finished basement envy. And, man, I used to cat sit for him sometimes and, he wasn't hoarder level bad but, that place was just stuffed full of crap. I'm pretty impressed they actually got it all out.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Fabulous photo!
My school friend and I once made signs to wear, "impertinent" and something else, because that's what our teacher called us. We didn't get in trouble, so now that I think about it, he must have.

One of my pictures made it up on Gothamist: [link]
Ha! I just told brenda yesterday she should buy a giant print of that photo and put it up in her living room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tom, that's amazing.
Do you do much (if any) post-processing of your photos (other than cropping)? And what sort of a camera do you use for most of them?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Skippy skimming to say:
greening Mardi Gras.
I pitched at Greening the Gras, coordinated an in-kind donation to ARC for their Catch and Release trailer, attended the ball, and was the volunteer coordinator for Verdi Gras. Basically, all up in that shit. And we were actually amazed by how supportive everyone was during our "1 day, 1 parade, 6 blocks" pilot effort, so I say "piffle" to those who say people won't do it.
Scola, took a minute for the photo to load, but I love it! Good for you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I use Color Efex Pro to give the pictures a simulated film look. I shoot with an Olympus Pen E-P3.

OMG, what the fuck is wrong with people that being asked to discuss something that is their job is sparking all kinds of resistance and firing off emails to people's bosses and shit? I am about ready to cut a bitch today.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That's a great picture, Tom. Congrats, and yay!
I like Zed for Zehbra. Or Zedediah.
I'm also grinning at Ginger's explanation. I parsed ita's, and maybe it was because I did so that comprehension was immediate on reading Ginger's. Then too, it's a proven fact (which I can't cite, sorry) that learning is both quicker and more effective taught with humor. So such an approach might actually be the more expedient way to go.
And yeah, starship command would be good!
